Manchester City will host Chelsea in an English Premier League clash Saturday. Pep Guardiola's squad is fifth in the EPL table and desperate to turn its season around, especially after falling 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League play earlier in the week. The Citizens face a Chelsea side two points ahead of them in the league standings and hoping to go on a run following a 3-1 win against Wolves, its first league victory of 2025.

Before you lock in your Man City vs. Chelsea picks or Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.

The expert knows Man City needs to tighten up on defense if they are going to win and leapfrog Chelsea in the standings. The Citizens are unbeaten in five straight league matches, but are also conceding goals on a regular basis. They are also dealing with some fatigue due to having Champions League, FA Cup and domestic matches packed into their congested schedule, which could also contribute to lazy play in the backfield.

Green points out that Chelsea is also at a disadvantage on defense thanks to injuries to key players. The Blues do, however, have the offensive firepower to keep pace with Man City. Although the hosts have won each of the last three meetings between these teams, Chelsea's current form suggests they will make Saturday's match very interesting -- especially if Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer stays hot against his former team.

Now, Green has taken a close look at the Premier League match from all sides. He is leaning Over on the goal total and has a trio of best bets plus a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
