Chelsea preview: Inconsistent Chelsea

Chelsea do come into this one on the back of a 7-0 demolition of League One strugglers Port Vale at Stamford Bridge in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last weekend with an emphatic victory overshadowing an often disjointed performance.

The Blues have won ten of their 20 games across all competitions since the appointment of Rosenior, with four of those against EFL clubs and only one real statement performance and win, coming against Aston Villa in early March. 

Man City preview: Back-to-back wins

They now face a Manchester City side that have had plenty of false dawns in the last couple of years, during what has been a relative underperformance in comparison to previously dominant and relentless campaigns.

They will hope their last two games are not another one after they defeated Arsenal in the EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium before a 4-0 hammering of Liverpool in the cup last weekend.

Chelsea vs Man City prediction

Chelsea have become quite comical. Their frustratingly know-it-all approach in the transfer market is being undermined by continued stagnation on the pitch. On it, they have also shown a lack of discipline and a level of character that many would criticise, best shown by the Fernandez punishment. City may not be their consistent previous selves but they should still be confident of earning another win against one of the so-called 'big six' of the Premier League.
