Betting prediction was written by Dan Adair

The game of the weekend for sure but one that has been massively overshadowed by another Mourinho PR stunt. This time club doctor Eva Carneiro has been scapegoated by the “Special One” and all the carry on starts again. Mourinho does this type of thing every season and it sort of has the weird effect of galvanising the team. Sir Alex Ferguson used to do it a lot to create an “us against them” situation. Opening day saw Chelsea looking laboured for most of the game. They played with the usual faces but didn’t get near last year’s very high quality performances. They played 30 mins with 10 men after keeper Courtois was sent off. The Belgian keeper is the only man missing for Chelsea for this one. Mourinho is desperate to bring in central defender John Stones from Everton for £30m so for me that means he has no trust in Cahill/Terry partnership. Man City were very good on Monday night in dispatching West Brom 3-0. They had bucketloads of possession and were willing runners in all areas. For me the middle men of Silva and Toure were exceptional while Fernandinho was brilliant infront of the back four.  Man City have Delph and Clichy back in the squad to give them all available hands ready. Edin Dzeko has left the club to join Roma on loan.

Hard game this one but for me the option to take the draw and Chelsea is too good to turn down. Chelsea’s poor performance at the weekend was ignored as Mourinho spun his way to blaming the club doctor for every bad deed ever done. City will be a tough nut to crack but Mourinho always has his team up and prepared 100% for these table top clashes.

Bet Chelsea +0.5 at 5-6 or 1.83 with Pinnacle.
