Given the recent intensive matches, Man City coach Pep Guardiola is expected to rotate the lineup when facing Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup.
In the last match on January 6, The Citizens faced Chelsea in the premier league and won with a score of 0-1. The match which took place at Stamford Bridge added 3 points to Man City thanks to Riyad Mahrez’s only goal in the 63rd minute.
Man City is indeed struggling to catch up with Arsenal who are currently leading the premier league standings with a total of 44 points. Undefeated in the last four rounds, it is estimated that Man City can win a third title in a row.
Relying on new recruits and looking very strong in the last few matches, Pep Guardiola’s troops seem difficult to contain. Erling Haaland’s performance on the front line is undoubtedly the team’s top scorer, and there is still a mainstay striker who just helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup, Julian Alvares.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is in a very bad condition. The current problem for the Blues is a storm of injuries to players including N’Golo Kante, Ricky James, Ben Chilwell and Fofana. Raheem Sterling was injured in the last match and was replaced by Aubameyang, while Mason Mount suffered an injury in training.
If it is not immediately anticipated by Graham Potter, Chelsea will continue to be in the middle of the standings. Chelsea currently ranks 10th in the premier league ranking table with a total of 25 points. Of the 17 matches, Chelsea have won 7 matches, drawn 4 and lost 6 times.
Seeing the latest conditions, Man City has the opportunity to stop Chelsea’s progress in the FA Cup. Man City has beaten Chelsea twice in a row this season, firstly ManCity won 2-0 in the third round of the League Cup (Carabao Cup) on 10 November 2022, and won 0-1 last weekend.
