Dimitar Berbatov is predicting that Manchester City and Chelsea FC
will share the spoils in their Premier League meeting at the Etihad
Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Chelsea FC will travel to Manchester City in a dress rehearsal for
the Champions League final in Istanbul at the end of the month.
Manchester City were 4-1 aggregate winners against Ligue 1 side
Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final last week
after Pep Guardiola’s side secured a 2-0 win at The Etihad.
Chelsea FC set up an all-Premier League Champions League final
clash after Timo Werner and Mason Mount got on the score sheet
to secure a 2-0 second-leg win over La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Manchester City were resounding 3-1 winners against Chelsea FC
at Stamford Bridge in January just before Frank Lampard was
dismissed as Blues manager.
The League Cup winners can secure their third title in four seasons
with a win against Chelsea FC.
Former Spurs forward Berbatov is predicting that Manchester City
will secure a 1-1 draw with Chelsea FC at The Etihad in the Premier
League on Saturday afternoon.
“Massive game. City are riding high as are Chelsea,” Berbatov is
quoted as saying by Metro.
“Both teams know each other. City can win the title if they win on
Saturday, but I don’t think it will give them a psychological boost
for the Champions League final if they win.”
Chelsea FC have lost nine of their last 12 trips to Manchester City
in the Premier League.
The Blues have lost to Guardiola’s men in their last three games at
the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have won 20 of their last 22 games in the Premier
League.
