Live on Skysports 1: Sun 16.00: Man City, at 9/5 (BetVictor) can make it a losing start for Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez in the Premier League.
Champions Manchester City are back on top of the table after a 5-0 hammering of Aston Villa last weekend but Roberto Mancini’s unbeaten side face one of their biggest tests of the campaign so far as they head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
Indeed it’s the hosts that are slight favourites for the points at 13/8 with Ladbrokes while BetVictor post 9/5 against a City success and it’s a potentially popular 5/2 via Stan James for the spoils to be shared.
William Hill quote odds of 13/2 for the contest to finish one-each but Chelsea have faltered of late – recent results causing the downfall of manager Roberto Di Matteo’s, who was promptly replaced by Rafa Benitez this week – and with the stubborn visitors starting to look more convincing despite their Champions League exit, it could be worth taking a risk by backing Mancini’s charges at 15/4 (bet365) to shade it by a one-goal margin.
More specifically, BetVictor offer 19/2 about a 2-1, Manchester City victory in West London, where it’s 1/2 courtesy of Stan James for both teams to find the net and staying with goals, Sergio Aguero, who has struck three times in his last two league appearances, is a generous 6/1 at Skybet to break the deadlock in this showdown.
Recommended Bets:
Man City to beat Chelsea by a one-goal margin – 15/4 (bet365)
Sergio Aguero to score first – 6/1 (Skybet)
