It’s a game between two sides fighting for a top four finish, with both teams having shaky defences.
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has predicted there will be six goals in this game.
He predicted for Betfair: “I think that Chelsea are in a much better position in the league than Man City, certainly in what they’re doing this season. Confidence-wise I think City will still be reeling from what happened to them in the Champions League.
“I look at both defences, particularly City’s, and see how weak they are to get through and play through. That should suit a Chelsea team who also can score goals, I know Nicolas Jackson is hit and miss, but he’s still got a few goals – I would think he’ll cause problems as well.
“I think Cole Palmer will play a big role, he’s going back to his old club wanting to rub some salt into the wounds and he will be extra motivated.
“Palmer has impressed me the most of any Chelsea player this season – they’re not the same team without him. He’s without a doubt their main man, as he was last season and he’s showing why again this season.
“Some of the things he does with the ball is outrageous – he makes everything look ridiculously easy and calm, which of course it is not.
“That’s his character, that’s what is the most impressive thing about him.
“Both teams have their problems, with Chelsea having injuries in midfield and City with their issues which have been discussed, which means that the game this weekend could be a 3-3.
“I think that there will definitely be goals in the game, and I would go for a score-draw myself. Both teams are desperate to pick up confidence and win, so I’m going to predict a score-draw.”
Alan Shearer has predicted a whopping 3-3 draw.
