Premier League Game of the Week: Man City Vs Chelsea 24/2/13


The Premier League game of the week involves the English Champions and European Champions, in a must win game for the home side. Roberto Mancini's side currently sit 15 points behind rivals Manchester United at the top of the table and anything but a win would surely see an end to City's title hopes.

Chelsea come into the game after scrapping through the their Europa League tie against Sparta Prague thanks to a late Eden Hazard strike. Chelsea have a impressive record away at City in the League winning 10 out of 15 meetings but have lost on their last 3 visits to the Etihad Stadium in the league. If Manchester City fail to win it will be the first time they have gone 4 league games without victory since November 2009.

Player to Watch: Chelsea's midfielder Frank Lampard has been in fantastic form since the turn of the year and is only 3 goals behind Bobby Tambling's All time club record. He makes his 550th appearance for the club and will be key if Chelsea are to have any success tomorrow.

Soccer_Xtra Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Chelsea
