Chelsea v Man City

Bet builder 1 @ 4/5 - 1pt

1st Selection: Jeremy Doku 2+ Fouls Won

Jeremy Doku continues to stand out as one of the Premier League’s most direct and unpredictable wide players. His explosive dribbling and willingness to constantly take on defenders naturally draws contact, leading to frequent fouls in dangerous areas.

He is averaging around 2.7 fouls won per 90 minutes this season and has been particularly consistent in recent weeks, winning at least two fouls in 10 of his last 11 appearances. In the reverse fixture against Chelsea, even in limited minutes, he was brought down once in just a short cameo.

With Chelsea likely deploying physical wide and central midfield cover, particularly in areas occupied by players such as Malo Gusto and Moisés Caicedo, Doku’s ability to isolate defenders makes him a strong candidate to draw multiple fouls once again.

2nd Selection: Antoine Semenyo 1+ Shots

Antoine Semenyo has established himself as one of the most consistent attacking outlets in the Premier League, regularly looking to shoot from a variety of positions. He has attempted at least one shot in every league appearance this season, underlining his high involvement in attacking phases.

He has come up against Chelsea twice this season already and attempted 2 & 5 shots in those two games. Against Chelsea’s vulnerable defensive structure, he is expected to get multiple opportunities to stretch this streak to 30 games.

3rd Selection: Man City Double Chance

Following Arsenal’s home defeat to Bournemouth yesterday, Manchester City will be even more motivated to secure a result here and reduce the gap at the top. They’ve been in outstanding form, delivering dominant wins over Liverpool (4-0) and Arsenal (2-0), and notably haven’t lost to Chelsea since the 2021 Champions League final.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have been struggling badly. Aside from a win against Port Vale, they were on a four-game losing streak, conceding 3, 3, 1, and 5 goals, and are winless in their last four home matches in all competitions — including fixtures against out-of-form Burnley and Leeds. With the current momentum, Guardiola’s side should have enough to comfortably overcome a Chelsea team lacking form and confidence.
