Following a frantic 4-1 win over Tottenham on Monday night, Chelsea faces another Big Six match-up on Sunday with Manchester City visiting Stamford Bridge.
Nicolas Jackson grabbed a hat trick against the Spurs and will be expected to lead the Chelsea attack again on Sunday. Bookmaker 10bet offers odds at 4.333 for the Senegalese forward to score once more. Meanwhile, the odds are at 21.00 for another multi-goal outing by Jackson.

Jackson has struggled for consistency in London, but he’s demonstrated some great movement on the pitch, and the 22-year-old should eventually develop into a regular goal threat for Chelsea once he has fully adjusted to Premier League football. Another scoring performance against the champions would be a sign that Jackson isn’t far off from becoming Chelsea’s main man up front.
Cole Palmer, who was another hero on Monday night with a goal and an assist, should be eager to impress as well. The 21-year-old put in some really promising performances for City early in the season before he was suddenly sold to Chelsea. Palmer has quickly made his mark at his new club producing three goals and two assists across the last four Premier League games.
If Jackson and Palmer can maintain their good form, Chelsea should have a good chance of avoiding a seventh consecutive defeat in this fixture. Man City has dominated the match-up thanks to a rock-solid defensive record as Chelsea hasn’t scored a single goal during the losing run.
City heads to London in good form, having bounced back from a rocky patch with five consecutive victories. Pep Guardiola’s side can become the first team to win four consecutive top-flight away matches against Chelsea since Leeds United did it with a six-game winning streak from 1973 to 1991.
Following a quiet outing against Bournemouth a week ago, can Erling Haaland hit top gear again on Sunday? He began building momentum again with a brace midweek in the Champions League against Young Boys. Despite City’s dominance in the match-up and a whopping four head-to-head clashes during Haaland’s debut campaign in England, the Norwegian goal machine failed to find the back of the net against Chelsea in 2023-24. Haaland lives on goal-scoring, and he will likely be hugely motivated to get his first goal, or two, against the Blues this weekend.
