Manchester City can rip open a 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least, when they take on Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday.

City have been imperious in their pursuit of retaining their crown this season so far with 11 top flight victories in a row leading to this point.

Pep Guardiola's men have found the net 53 times in just 21 games to mark an explosive opening half of the 2021/22 season, a repeat of which should result in another title.

Chelsea are City's closest rivals at the moment as they sit in second, though Liverpool are just one point behind them with a game in hand.

Thomas Tuchel's men have drawn four of their last five Premier League outings and know that they will slide away from the title reckoning if they can't convert draws into wins quickly.

Our prediction: Man City v Chelsea

City look unstoppable right now. They simply have it all. They have adapted to everything this season has thrown at them and come out the other side in rampant form.

Kevin De Bruyne is creeping back into excellent form, which is a terrifying thought for the rest of the league, while Raheem Sterling has gone along well lately.

Chelsea look tepid at the moment, not awful, just off the pace. City should punish them, but don't expect the Blues to be blown away.

Our prediction: Man City 2-1 Chelsea (8/1 at bet365)
