Our prediction for this Premier League match:
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge when Chelsea and Man City go head to head in the Premier League derby. The Blues kicked off the new domestic campaign in style, and, as a result, they are leading the chase for the title. Despite failing to find the net in a routine 3-0 win over Spurs, summer signing Romelu Lukaku will continue to lead the line for the hosts. Since Christian Pulisic has overcome his injury, Thomas Tuchel should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s clash.
N’Golo Kante is pushing for a start after scoring a beautiful goal in the London derby. The Citizens, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Southampton, but seeing that fit-again midfielder Kevin de Bruyne returns to the starting XI, we predict that the reigning champions will grab something from the Premier League derby. Ferran Torres is pushing for a start as well, while Stones, Mendy, and Laporte remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Timo Werner):
Timo Werner is a German starlet, who began his senior career at Vfb Stuttgart. The German forward, who was born in Stuttgart on March 6, 1996, scored 13 goals in 95 appearances in the league for Die Schwaben and in 2016 he moved to fellow Bundesliga side Leipzig and he impressed with the Red Bulls in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign, scoring 21 goals in the process.
To make things even better for the talented attacker, he represented Germany at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it has to be noted that he provided an assist for Lars Stindl in the title game. Despite the fact that coach Joachim Low rested star players at the tournament in Russia, the Germans eventually won the trophy.
Timo Werner played for the Germany U17 team as well and he won the silver medal with die Mannschaft at the 2012 UEFA European Championship. His main position is centre forward, but he is used as a winger as well. Timo Werner’s contract with Leipzig should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
