Manchester City to win
The Citizens will look to continue their quadruple charge when they host struggling Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium next week. They head into the game as the favourites, thanks to their outstanding form. Man City have only lost one game this season, but the same can’t be said of Chelsea, who are without a win in their last three league matches. City will smoke Chelsea on Wednesday as they have enough quality for Graham Potter’s side to handle.
Over 2.5 goals
The Citizens are a good goalscoring side and coming up against a struggling injury-hit Chelsea side that have only managed one clean sheet in their last three matches across all competitions. City will look to feast on the Blues and because the majority of City’s games this season have ended with over 2.5 goals including their Saturday’s late 2-1 win over Fulham, we expect the cup game to end similarly.
Both teams to score YES
Although we expect Manchester City to walk over Chelsea, the Blues have some decent names in their squad, who can keep City on their toes on a few occasions. The likes of Aubameyang, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling, who left City to join the Blues over the summer, will all want to impress, hence handing Chelsea a chance to get on the scoreboard. After all, City are struggling to keep clean sheets of late.
Get Rich Quick
Back Manchester City to run out with a comfortable 3-1 win over Graham Potter’s side. City are likely to put three goals past Chelsea as it would obviously be near impossible to expect them to score six, just as they did against Manchester United in October. This bet option has odds of 10.0 at 22bet.com.
Safe Bet
Both sides are expected to start with weakened teams. Football is unpredictable. We could be expecting Manchester City to have an easy ride on Chelsea but halfway into the game, things could go in Chelsea’s favour and City could be trailing. However, how bad could it get for City to lose at home to Chelsea? Nearly impossible, hence we are backing City to qualify regardless. This bet option has odds of 1.28 at 22bet.com.

They are obviously one of the title contenders this season again but now, they will focus on keeping their quadruple hopes alive when they host Chelsea next week.
The Blues are struggling in recent weeks under Graham Potter due to a long list of injured first team players, having gone three league games without a win. Chelsea bounced back to winning ways against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, days after they got trounced 4-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion.
