Manchester City vs Chelsea

Man City have collapsed now and are struggling, im dissappointed a little bit, i dont know what went wrong but today they have to face a Chelsea side who smashed them 6-0 earlier in the season. The positive point is that it shouldnt be the same result today as Man City are at home but im expecting Chelsea to do there late 1-0 win over the struggling City.

PREVIEW

Manchester City could have midfield duo Martin Petrov and Michael Johnson available for the visit of Chelsea.

They have recovered from flu and a groin injury respectively, though defenders Micah Richards and Michael Ball (both knee) remain sidelined.

Chelsea coach Avram Grant will be hoping goalkeeper Petr Cech has finally shaken off his ankle problem.

Midfielder Frank Lampard has recovered from the stomach bug that kept him sidelined following international duty.

Manchester City (from): Hart, Corluka, Onuoha, Dunne, Garrido, Jihai, Ireland, Fernandes, Hamann, Petrov, Johnson, Castillo, Elano, Benjani, Vassell, Caicedo, Geovanni, Sturridge, Isaksson.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Belletti, Ferreira, Ben-Haim, Carvalho, Terry, Alex, A Cole, Bridge, Sidwell, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Makelele, Shevchenko, Drogba, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, Pizarro, Anelka, Mikel, J Cole, Malouda.

City are looking a faded shadow of the side Sven had battling the big boys at the start of the year, their previously amazing home form also taking somewhat of a dip. Chelsea were extrmely fortunate to beat a plucky Boro side last week, but i can see Chelsea nicking this one. 1-0.

0-1. Richard Dunne own goal

that's tragic.. dunne's a good player.. T.T

Chelsea were paying way better odds than expected for this, ive got money on them

city's hardly playing decent last night.. if it wasn't hart being a goalie.. i'm afraid it could've been a slight trash.. anelka had a few chances to sneak forward with shots on goal attempts..

and can't really stand the colour of Chelsea jersey.. stabilo green.. wondering if it glows in the dark.. kind of hurt the eyes while watching.. one of the worst colours for this season indeed..

At the end of the day, Chelsea out classed city for long periods of the game!

Michael Essien was stunning in midfield today, with Anelka working very hard upfront - and unlucky not to score! You have to say Chelsea were worthy winners,
