The Blues are set to host Manchester City on Sunday in the Premier League, aiming to upset the league leaders and further advance in the competition.
On Monday, Chelsea handed Tottenham their first defeat of the season with a convincing 4-1 victory at the Tottenham Stadium, surprising football stakeholders.
Despite Manchester City being the favorites, Mauricio Pochettino's men have the potential to defeat the Citizens.
Here are three reasons why Chelsea is poised to beat Manchester City at Stamford Bridge:
1. Undefeated Against Top Sides
Chelsea has performed admirably against top sides this season, securing draws against Liverpool and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and clinching a victory against Spurs away from home. This unbeaten record provides confidence for the Blues to face a Manchester City team that has shown vulnerability.
2. Exploiting Manchester City's Vulnerabilities
Although Manchester City is arguably the best team in the Premier League, they have displayed vulnerability, losing consecutive games against Wolves and Arsenal away from home. The Citizens can be exploited when making mistakes, as seen in their struggle to handle counterattacks that led to two goals against Wolves and folding under pressure in the second half against Arsenal.
3. Top Form After Victory Against Tottenham
Chelsea's recent triumph against Tottenham showcased their top form. Nicolas Jackson's hat-trick secured the victory, and with players like former City stars Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer contributing to the team's improvement, the Blues are well-positioned to repeat this feat against the league leaders.
Chelsea's strong performances against top sides, the vulnerabilities in Manchester City's game, and their current top form suggest they have a good chance of securing victory at Stamford Bridge.
