Man City vs Chelsea prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

The Premier League's thrilling narrative continues as Manchester City prepares to host Chelsea this Saturday evening at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side, riding high on a six-match winning streak, will be aiming for their seventh consecutive victory in the league.

Following a comfortable 3-1 triumph over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday night, Man City returns to their Etihad base with renewed confidence and momentum. Pep Guardiola's side are the favourites at 1/3 with Betfred to put pressure on Liverpool in the title race while Chelsea re 7/1 and a draw is 9/2.

Last weekend, the Citizens were put to the test but emerged victorious with a 2-0 win against Everton, keeping them hot on the heels of league leaders Liverpool. However, Liverpool will have an opportunity to assert their dominance when they face Brentford earlier on Saturday.

On the other hand, Chelsea comes into this match off the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 victory over London rivals Crystal Palace. The win was a testament to Mauricio Pochettino's tactical acumen and has set the stage for an intriguing encounter this weekend.

Despite securing wins in their last two away matches, Chelsea faces a daunting task to secure a third consecutive road victory against a formidable Man City side. This high-stakes clash promises to be a captivating spectacle as both teams vie for supremacy in the Premier League.

As we look forward to this blockbuster encounter, it's clear that it could have significant implications on the title race and shape the trajectory of the season for both teams.

Man City to win and both teams to score - 6/4

Erling Haaland to score anytime - 8/13
