Even three victories in the last nine mutual matches. For almost three years, the "Manchester City" footballers have completely dominated our matches with London's "Chelsea". After Joninės, on Thursday, the "aristocrats" will try to break that series of failures in their own "Stamford Bridge" stadium. It will be a match of the English "Premier" league. In the first leg, the "City" defeated their opponents at home 2:1. Last season, "City" wiped out the London club even 6:0 on their own field. However, throughout the league's history, "Chelsea" still has a clear advantage in the mutual clashes, having beaten the Manchester team 25 times, lost 13 times, and drawn 7 times. After the break in the renewed championship, "Manchester City" last week defeated London's "Arsenal" at home 3:0. "Chelsea" forced to surrender against Birmingham's "Aston Villa" team 2:1 away. Thursday's match will be much more important for London footballers who are fiercely fighting for a place among the top four. Meanwhile, it is almost clear that "City" will not fall out of the first four. "Chelsea" is currently in fourth place - 51 points from 30 matches. Frank Lampard's team is ahead by 5 points of "Manchester United" and "Wolverhampton Wanderers" clubs. The "City" is firmly in second place. They have accumulated 60 points in 29 matches. "City" is 23 points behind the leaders and has 6 points more than "Leicester City". Liverpool and Leicester teams have played 30 matches each. The "Manchester City" club could be disqualified from international tournaments for two years for violating financial discipline. In that case, the fifth-place team would compete in the UEFA Champions League next season. "Liverpool", almost securing the champion title, will host London's "Crystal Palace" club on Wednesday, which last week defeated "Bournemouth" 2:0 away. It was the fourth consecutive victory for "Crystal Palace" in the "Premier" league. The team ranks 9th - 42 points from 30 matches. On the same day, "Manchester United" will try to defeat "Sheffield United" footballers at their home ground, who are in 7th place on the tournament table - 44 points from 30 rounds.
