5 reasons why Chelsea will beat Manchester City

#5 Man City playing after just 72 hours – fatigue to set in

Manchester City have had just two-and-half day rest

Another factor that plays into the hands of Chelsea is that they will be facing City with a fresher team than their opponents. The Blues last played seven days ago, when they lost 2-1 to Manchester United.

However, the league leaders are coming into the game on the back of a trip to North London where they faced Arsenal at the Emirates on Thursday.

That means Pep’s side have had just over 72 hours to prepare for the Chelsea game and that hands the Blues an advantage.

The Man City players are expected to be a bit fatigued, having played three games in the last 10 days, Conte and his men could capitalize on that to get the needed result.
