Chelsea vs. Manchester City: Premier League Matchday 12 Odds & Picks (Sunday)

We have an exciting Matchday 12 on the horizon before clubs break for the international break. A few of the interesting showdowns include Liverpool hosting Brentford, while the weekend wraps up with Manchester City traveling to London to take on Chelsea. I have action on both of these matchups, along with a third bet in the Aston Villa vs. Fulham match. Here are my three favorite bets in the Matchday 12 Premier League this weekend. And below we take a look at Chelsea vs. Manchester City.

Premier League Matchday 12 Preview & Best Bets: Chelsea vs. Manchester City

Chelsea vs. Manchester City

Finally, let’s head out to the capital city where Chelsea gears up to host Treble-winning Manchester City. Thanks to the Blues’ 4-1 victory over Tottenham last week, City has climbed back into the top spot in the PL with a one-point edge. This is the nightcap on Sunday, which kicks off at 11:30 a.m. ET from Stamford Bridge in London. 

I’ll roll with Manchester City on the moneyline in this spot. They’ve owned the head-to-head matchup with Chelsea recently, going 6-0-0 across all competitions, while out-scoring them 10-0. That includes a stretch of four straight 1-0 victories. 

The bottom line here is that City always elevates its game and plays dominant, fundamental soccer in matches like this. Look for them to control a healthy amount of the possession and bet on one or two goals being enough to secure the three points. While many want to focus on the electric Erling Haaland (11 goals), and rightfully so, we have to mention that this team is also the best in the Premier League defensively. They’ve posted an xGA of just 8.1, which tops the charts in PL. Look for another lower-scoring affair where Pep Guardiola and the Citizens prevail.
