Manchester City Preview – Can Man City do ‘the double’?
Having secured this season’s Premier League title with relative ease, Manchester City will now be bidding to make it two major trophies on the trot when they prepare for this upcoming Champions League final against English top flight counterparts, Chelsea, on Saturday night.
However, although City put together an impressive winning streak earlier in the season which saw Pep Guardiola’s side win 27 out of 28 matches in all competitions, a few small cracks have appeared in recent times as Manchester City have suffered defeats against Leeds United, Chelsea (in the FA Cup and Premier League) and most disappointing of all, a 3-2 loss at lowly Brighton.
In the Champions League, Manchester City have won 11 of their last 12 ties and appear to be heading for more silverware here based on this form but they are expected to face a tough test against a Chelsea outfit who have had the upper hand over them in recent times.
Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea hold their nerve?
Chelsea have also experienced something of the ‘wobbles’ lately as The Blues have lost three out of their last four matches overall, losing to Arsenal and Aston Villa in the Premier League along with a FA Cup defeat against Leicester City, so they too will have a point to prove in this Champions League final on Saturday night.
Prior to this mini-slump, Chelsea had previously put together a solid seven-match unbeaten sequence in all competitions which included impressive wins against Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Champions League along with a 2-1 win away from home at tonight’s opponents, Manchester City, at the Etihad Stadium.
Chelsea’s Champions League form has also been steady as the London club have lost just one of their last 12 ties overall while also winning five of their last six ties away from home as well, and they’ll be hard to shift here in Porto too.
