Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips
- By A.J. Ryder on February 3, 2014 16:39 GMTThere is a massive fixture kicking off today in the English Premier League as one of the biggest Monday matches of the season is finally ready to roll. In a week where United lost, Liverpool fizzled and Arsenal conjured up a morale-boosting victory, the result of this match-up could have dramatic repercussions on the top of the table this year - particularly if City win the fixture.

There are also real complications that could hinder City’s pursuit of the title and one of them is the lack of Sergio Aguero for the next month. The prolific striker has been ruled out for about four weeks after sustaining an injury against Spurs last week.
This will give Chelsea a decided advantage in their pursuit of a major victory here - one that the bookmakers are definitely not banking on. City are the decided odds-on favourites for this one but you reckon that Chelsea have some firepower up front and could benefit from Jose Mourinho’s wiliness in a match-up like this one.
In fact, the bookmakers have floated a 5.0 price tag on Jose Mourinho to be sent off at any point in this game. It’s in big fixtures like this that the Special One can get up to his old tricks and it may be of great benefit to the team - particularly if they’ve had a man sent off or are on the receiving end of a lot of bad calls.
This one is all about one of the best offenses the Premier League has seen in eons facing off against one of the most miserly defenses in recent memory - and that includes the old Chelsea sides.
