Must Win for the visitors
The Citizens are the most consistent team in Europe. They enter this clash on the back of 11 Premier League games in a row, scoring 33 goals and keeping six clean sheets in the process. In addition, they won 13 of their last 15 home games, and they beat Chelsea in the reverse match 1-0 on the road.
It's only mid-January, and it's already difficult to see another EPL winner as Man City as sitting 10 points clear at the top of the table. However, they look as strong as ever, and they are huge favorites to win this clash and maximize the gap. They have the best attack and the best defense in the league, with 53 goals scored and just 13 conceded in 21 games.
Guardiola's main innovation during this season has been to rotate many of his star players like Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden, and even Raheem Sterling as false nines to make amends for the departure of Sergio Aguero. Of course, everyone knows Harry Kane's transfer story with City failing to sign him. You would expect Guardiola to sign a world-class striker in the winter transfer window, but no, it won't happen.
Third-placed Liverpool appeared to be City's closest competition, but the Reds dropped seven points during the festive period, and they are sitting 11 points behind the leaders. The hosts will be without Phil Foden and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who tested positive with COVID, while Riyad Mahrez is playing for Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, if Pep Guardiola's men seal victory in front of their fans on Saturday, the title race is over with 16 rounds to go till the end of the season.
That's why we expect Chelsea to have an attacking approach and press high from the first whistle of the game and try to score early in the match. That will leave many spaces at the back, and as we already know, City is deadly on the break. Most soccer cappers in the industry think the "under 2.5" goals in the play, but we're going against them. We expect at least three goals in 90 minutes and at least 1 goal in the first half.
1st Pick of the Parlay: Over 2.5 goals (-125)
Tottenham vs. Arsenal - Sunday, January 16 - 11:30 am ET
Click Here for Tottenham vs Arsenal Odds
Great value on the home side
Arsenal is desperately short on numbers ahead of the North London Derby and they could be without 10 players against Tottenham. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last five Premier League games, but Mikel Arteta remains unsure as to whether he will have his best player available for Sunday's clash.
Tottenham is two points behind their neighbors, but they have two games in hand on them and a win here will increase their chances to a top-four finish. Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is yet to lose a Premier League game since taking charge, the best unbeaten start for a Spurs boss in their top-flight league history. Spurs enter this game on the back of two defeats in a row against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, failing to find the back of the net in both games.
Despite having a poor season, Harry Kane is the top scorer in north London derby history in all competitions, scoring 11 goals in 16 mutual encounters against Arsenal. We will take him as a side bet to contribute on the scoreboard at +140 with DraftKings. Given Arsenal’s squad issues and Tottenham’s great home form, we are expecting a home win. Spurs have won seven of their 10 home games scoring 16 goals in the process. On top of that, they are unbeaten in six home games against Arsenal winning four in the process.
2nd Pick of the Parlay: Tottenham ML (+125)
