Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview
Manchester City fans can almost taste the delicious sweetness of a famous 2022/23 treble. The Etihad has been an absolute fortress for Man City all season long, and it will be electric on Sunday in the wake of the team’s resounding success over Real Madrid midweek. Chelsea were forced to share the spoils against Nottingham Forest last weekend and that draw means they have won only one of their previous 11 in all competitions. The London club have had a miserable campaign and the majority of players will be counting down the days until the summer.
Possible incentive for the Chelsea players on Sunday will be to impress incoming manager, Mauricio Pochettino. The confirmation of his appointment for next season should be coming any day now and he will no doubt be keeping a close on the squad as he begins to map out how his team will look ahead of a crucial season for Chelsea. Pep Guardiola’s side are unstoppable at present, as noted by their rampant display against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Team News
Nathan Ake remains the only concern for Manchester City here owing to a thigh issue. For Chelsea at least seven confirmed absentees, with Reece James, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kante among those absent. Pep Guardiola may rest a couple of players here with the FA Cup and Champions League final on the horizon.
