It’s crunch time in the Premier League, and Chelsea’s game against Manchester City is probably the visitors' last chance to launch a title bid.
Man City are nine points behind Arsenal, who play on Saturday, but they have a game in hand, and a matchup against each other yet to come.
That means they must win on Sunday, and our Chelsea vs. Manchester City predictions reflect that by taking City at plus money to win.
Read on for my Premier League picks for Sunday, April 12, with kickoff at 11:30 a.m. ET on USA Network.
Premier League predictions for Chelsea vs Man City
My Chelsea vs Man City best bet: Man City moneyline (+115 at Sports Interaction)
Man City are outsiders for the title, but they’re still in with a chance, and City have only lost one game in the league since December.
City are averaging two goals per game while conceding fewer than one, and they produce 14.7 shots per match with 5.2 on target, both tied for second in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have lost four of their previous five games in all competitions and conceded 12 goals in that timeframe, despite keeping one clean sheet.
City have also won three of the past four meetings between the teams at Stamford Bridge, keeping three clean sheets and scoring eight goals.
Chelsea vs Man City same-game parlay (SGP)
Erling Haaland to score
Antoine Semenyo 1+ shot on target
Moises Caicedo to be shown a card
Erling Haaland leads the race for the Golden Boot with 22 goals and returned from the international break with a bang, scoring a hat trick against Liverpool last week. He’s also scored four times in seven meetings against Chelsea.
City’s Antoine Semenyo has averaged 1.02 shots on target per 90 minutes on the field since his arrival from Bournemouth in January.
Averaging 1.69 fouls committed per game, Moises Caicedo can be overly physical and rash at times, which is why he’s already been shown 10 cards in the Premier League this season.
