Man City vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea is 3-3 over its previous six games, falling 2-1 in its most recent contest against Aston Villa. The match was not without drama, as Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta was ejected after being handed a red card for a perceived cheap shot on Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. Azpilicueta filed and won a claim of wrongful dismissal, however, so he’ll be available for this match.
After dealing with inconsistent play down the stretch, this Chelsea squad is feeling confident in its chances despite being underdogs in this one, largely because it has seen and beaten Pep Guardiola’s team twice already this year.
“City are a top team, they have shown it for years and they are a great side,” Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger said heading into the match. “But we managed to beat them twice this season and it will be an interesting game. Definitely. Maybe it will be in their heads, I don’t know, but 100 percent it will be interesting. If we look back at the season, Brighton, Southampton or even Leeds, and everyone was saying they are must-win games and yet we dropped points.”
Rudiger is right to exercise caution with his optimism, as anything can happen, and Manchester is a dangerous unit. Man City has gone 4-2 in its last six matches, most recently taking down Everton, 5-0 on May 23. As Rudiger noted, however, City’s luck against the Blues hasn’t been the greatest.
When asked what Man City’s two defeats at the hands of Chelsea meant to his squad heading into this game, Guardiola didn’t hold back. “Absolutely nothing, zero. I know how we have prepared this final. We played two days after the Dortmund game away and in the [FA Cup] semi-finals, yes well done, well deserved, congratulations Chelsea. On Saturday, it’s a new game we face and we will see what happens,” the Man City gaffer said.
“If we had won these two games, my position would be the same because I know what the Champions League is. The season is gone, it’s over – just one game, the Champions League, everyone else is on the beach thinking about next season,” Guardiola added.
Man City goalkeeper Ederson also noted that despite two losses to Chelsea this year, his team played well in both. “Unfortunately in the last two confrontations against them we were defeated but I think we played well overall. Obviously we made mistakes that can’t happen in the final but I think the team is ready. If the team keeps playing the good football we have been playing over the last six months, I think we have a lot of chances to win the game,” he told Sports Illustrated.
Here’s a look at the predicted line-ups for both teams:
Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden
Chelsea: Mendy, Silva, Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell, Mount, Pulisic, Werner
