Team News

Man City
Chelsea
  • Nathan Ake remains the only concern for Manchester City here owing to a thigh issue.
  • Pep Guardiola may rest a couple of players here with the FA Cup and Champions League final on the horizon and the title all-but wrapped up.
  • Frank Lampard has to make do with at least seven confirmed absentees, with Reece James, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante among those absent.
  • Kalidou Koulibaly and Mateo Kovacic will be assessed for the Blues.
  • Edouard Mendy was a surprise starter against Nottingham Forest, but after his mistake at the weekend, Kepa may return between the sticks.

Prediction

  • Manchester City may already be champions by the time this one kicks off, but they'll seek to extend their home winning run in 2023 to 17 games. Pep Guardiola's side are unstoppable at present, as noted by their rampant display against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
  • Chelsea were forced to share the spoils against Nottingham Forest last weekend and that draw means they have won only one of their last 11 in all competitions. The Blues have lost their last three visits to the Etihad Stadium, including a 4-0 thumping at the hands of City in the FA Cup back in January.
  • Pep Guardiola may rotate here following Wednesday's win, but Manchester City should have more than enough to ease to a comfortable win on Sunday.

  • Good game

  • Congratz to City fans, I want to be Gallagher's bros smiling and huggin each other! Just kidding, nothing to add about this great season, I mean this last 2 months of this season. Nice to see Julian in the starting line up and I haven't seen the new goalkeeper Ortega before.

  • 4 points in previous two games is top 4 form, and a creditable narrow loss to the champions here. Reason enough to give Frank a 5 year extension I think. ;-P

  • Dang...no Haaland so he can't get his 12 PL goals to edge closer to 60 for the season....

  • city reserves to beat chelsea reserves

  • Man City have drifted from 1.28 odds to 1.50 Odds.I still think they will win.

  • A dead rubber match.

  • Congratulations city for champion.. well deserved

  • 4-0

  • I think Pep will instead rest players for the game at Brighton on Wednesday.

  • Man City will get the EPL trophy and player winner medals after this game.Pep says he will play a very strong side.

  • @Marbella At the end City will be 10 points ahead of Arsenal.

  • If Arsenal draw or lose, Pep will field U18 + Philips & Gomez to prevent injuries...

  • Chelsea to win! Away win

  • @Phonixj very possible after all no more worries

  • @Phonixj Good one...had me convinced...lol....

  • Man City win and over 2.5 goals in the game.

  • @Marbella @ 1.75 Odds

  • 5-0 city
