My Chelsea vs Man City best bet: Jeremy Doku 1+ shots on target (-143 at Sports Interaction)
Jeremy Doku has been leading the charge for Man City down the stretch, producing five goals and two assists in eight games since the international break.
That includes Doku’s previous match against Chelsea in early April, which saw him bag a goal in a 3-0 win.
Doku has recorded at least one shot on target in each of his past seven contests, despite coming off the bench and playing around 30 minutes in two of those appearances.
