Prediction: 1-1
Man City
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge when Chelsea and Manchester City square off against each other in the Premier League derby. The Blues aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and we are positive that they will go for a win in Thursday’s showdown. Both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Hakim Ziyech are pushing for a start, as well as Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic, whilst all Mendy, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, James, Fofana, and Chilwell remain in the recovery room.
The Citizens, on the other hand, head into the match following a slim 1-1 draw with Everton. Pep Guardiola is not doing a great job with the Etihad Stadium outfit, but seeing that they are desperate to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, and Kyle Walker are pushing for a start, while Ruben Dias remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
Highlighted Player (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang):
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the most famous Gabonese player and he is the first footballer from Gabon to appear in Bundesliga. Aubameyang played for the likes of Dijon, Lille, Monaco and St. Etienne in the past before joining Borussia Dortmund on July, 2013. The pacey attacker signed a five-year contract with the Millionaires and he has been producing outstanding performances with the Signal-Iduna-Park outfit ever since.
Aubameyang impressed in the 2015–16 Bundesliga, scoring 25 goals in 31 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, but that did not help Thomas Tuchel’s men win the domestic trophy. Speaking of his international career, the 187-cm-tall striker made his Gabon debut on 25 March, 2009 and he scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-2 win over Morocco.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang helped Gabon make it to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. It has to be noted, though, that he played for France U-21 team in the past. Aubameyang was born in Laval, France on 18 June, 1989.
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.
