Having booked a spot each in the Champions League final billed to take place in Istanbul, Chelsea and Manchester City will square off in this Premier League tie, which might serve as a 'teaser' of what to expect in the showpiece event later this month.

However, Chelsea will place on this fixture as much importance as they would on the Champions League final, as they continue to aim for a top-four finish. Meanwhile, Manchester City are barely three points away from clinching the Premier League title.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Team News

Manchester City picked up a comprehensive victory over PSG in the return leg of their semifinal tie. In fact, City produced an exact replica of their second-half performance in the first leg to clinch a 2-0 victory over Les Parisiens at Etihad Stadium.

Having scored the winner in the first leg, Riyad Mahrez picked up from where he left off - notching a decisive brace in the return leg. And finally, Pep Guardiola and his men are in the Champions League final, on their way to clinch the ever-elusive European title.

Meanwhile, the Sky Blues' midweek victory in the Champions League came off the back of another 2-0 win, albeit in the Premier League against Crystal Palace. After the first half ended in a goalless stalemate, Sergio Aguero and Ferran Torres found the net for Manchester City to take the lead, and ultimately all three points.

With barely three points keeping them away from the Premier League title, as earlier stated, Manchester City will certainly want to get over the line as quickly as possible, as they continue to chase down a historic treble. And they will be banking on their fantastic form of five consecutive victories in all competitions, when they welcome the West-London outfit to their turf.

It can't be overemphasized how much improvement that Chelsea have made under the management of Thomas Tuchel. Ranging from their defensive stability to their offensive threat - albeit dampened by some level of profligacy from a certain Timo Werner in the attacking unit.

In midweek, however, Timo Werner was a major actor in their 2-0 triumph over Real Madrid in the Champions League. The German attacker headed in the ricochet off the crossbar after his fellow compatriot Kai Havert's dink over onrushing Thibaut Courtois.

That said, plaudits went to N’golo Kante who kickstarted the whole attacking move, and he was instrumental, yet again, in the second goal scored by Mason Mount.

Although the Blues are on course to win their second-ever Champions League title, their return to the elite competition - through their league position - is all but assured. But it is worth noting that they sit in fourth-place on the table, three points above fifth-placed West Ham United.

Man City vs Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea's away form have drastically improved since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, winning five of their last seven matches on the road.

It goes without saying that the Blues laid blood and sweat bare on the pitch to safely see off Real Madrid last time out in the Champions League. Hence, their players must be running low on gas, craving some time-off to recharge.

And returning to action as soon as this weekend wouldn’t be ideal for this group, who are still recovering from that rollercoaster European fixture. With Chelsea’s energy levels depleted, we expect the Citizens to take advantage to record a famous win to clinch the Premier League title.
