Manchester City won four Premier League titles in a row, but they are unlikely to win another, as Pep Guardiola's team is 12 points behind the league leader Liverpool after 22 league matches. Manchester City had a few terrible weeks of the season, but lately, they have improved. Guardiola's team was recently on a run of six games, unbeaten in all competitions until they lost 4-2 on the road in the Champions League against PSG in their last match. The home side was significantly better as it had an xG of 2.75, while the guests finished at 1.78. For Manchester City, returning to the winning track immediately on Saturday against Chelsea will be essential.
The 2024/25 season could be the one in which they could return to the top four Premier League teams. They are currently fourth but with only two points more than Manchester City and Newcastle. However, Chelsea slowed down in form recently as they won only two of the last seven matches. In the previous game, they won 3-1 at home against Wolves. The home side dominated most of the match, so winning all three points was well-deserved.
Manchester City vs Chelsea pick: Over 3.5 goals
Manchester City scored 22 goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Chelsea scored ten goals in the previous three games. Both teams are in a good offensive rhythm, so over 3.5 goals should be the best option for this tie.

Manchester City team news
Manchester City spent almost 80 million euros this winter on signing Abdukodir Khusanov (who came from Lens) and Vitor Reis (Palmeiras). However, those two are 20 and 19 years old, so they are more signings for the future.
Manchester City doesn't have big injury problems. They will be only without Rodri, Nathan Ake, and Oscar Bobb on Saturday against Chelsea.
