Manchester City is fifth and would displace Chelsea from fourth place and the Champions League zone with a victory. Speaking of the Champions League, Guardiola's team suffered another disappointment during the week and is seriously threatened with elimination. Once again recently they couldn't hold onto their lead, this time as guests of PSG. Despite leading 2-0 within just one half, they suffered a complete turnaround and lost 2-4. However, they have recorded some victories locally lately, reminding of their good times, such as defeating Ipswich 6-0 as guests in the last round.
A plus for Chelsea is that they didn't have a match in Europe, and most recently on Monday they played and won 3-1 at home against Wolverhampton. This was the team's first victory after five consecutive rounds without one. With a loss now, they will give up fourth place, which they will try to avoid. At the beginning of the season, they lost to City at home, hoping to avoid a repeat this time.
Forecast: both teams to scoreManchester City disappointed again during the week and must quickly regroup for this test in the Premier League. Chelsea is also capable of troubling the hosts, most likely with at least one goal in both nets, given the not particularly stable defenses of both teams lately.
