BBC pundit, Chris Sutton has insisted that Chelsea will be beaten well by Manchester City when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Blues are looking to get their first win against Pep Guardiola’s ruthless side, having failed to get a win in any of their last six meetings against City.
City have also won their last five matches across all competitions, while Chelsea recently picked up a morale-boosting 4-1 win against Tottenham, although Sutton doesn’t think they can beat the reigning league champions.
“Chelsea’s Nicholas Jackson scored possibly the worst Premier League hat-trick there has been last time out against Spurs, but it is still a hat-trick and it might boost his confidence a bit,” said the BBC pundit. “The same could be said about the impact of that win on the rest of the Chelsea team too. It doesn’t matter how they did it, they won when not many people gave them much of a chance.
“This result really depends on how City play, though, rather than what Chelsea try to do. Pep Guardiola’s side have a few injuries to contend with but it doesn’t really make much difference who comes in or out of their team. Their squad is just so strong.
“Guardiola also has a nice problem in terms of who to pick on the left, Jeremy Doku or Jack Grealish. You never know with Pep – because Doku has been playing so well, he will probably leave him out for the next six games.
“Whoever plays, City are just relentless. They will win by two goals, it’s only really a question of whether Chelsea will score or not.”
