City vs Chelsea pre-match thread

What struck me about the Chelsea - Spurs game was how fast the game was played. Chelsea with the ball looked very fast and dangerous, especially Costa who looks bang in form. I expect we'll have most of the possession as usual, but will be playing mainly in front of their defenders, whereas when they get the ball, they'll attack us at speed with us out of position.

Unfortunately, I see us losing this, although I hope to be proven wrong of course.

1-3 Chelsea :-(
 
I think we'll win this. Pep will realize that preventing Hazard from getting on the ball slows them down immensely. Anyone expecting him to match them with 3 at the back is insane. He'll play 4231 with Sagna starting who always gets the better of Hazard.

I think if we can isolate Raheem/Kun/KDB against Cahill/Luiz we should win this.

I'm not surprised people are apprehensive to be fair, given Chelsea's recent form. I prefer that to some of the ridiculous pre-match predictions we get, where people say "we'll smash them 6-0" etc.

It's going to be a tight game, but I think we're slight favourites with home advantage. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a draw though.

Just shows, how far we have dropped this season. It was 10 last. ;-)

Maybe I'm too biased, but I think we'll comfortably beat them. Spurs should us the way to play against them, we've better players than Chelsea and a full weeks rest.

I don't fear them at all, Hazard is their only danger man.
 
How the hell has Anthony Taylor got a match of this importance. Surely everyone knows that this guy isn't up to it.
It's not just us City fans who bemoan him. I don't know any fans who think he's any good.
He's shit for everyone.
 
Quite sure this game will be played more like a top champs league game , tactical and any mistakes will be punished this type of fixture is Pep's domain he will have the team drilled to nullify any Chelski threat , they are our main title rivals and have already played half a dozen games less than us but i think if KDB,Merlin,Kun,Gundogan,Sterling hit form and we can unleash a rejuvenated Yaya from the bench we will have too much for them . Tight game 2-1 win for us , a draw is not enough because i wouldnt fancy going down to their midden having to get a result later in the season
