"The leader of the English football Premier League, Manchester City, faces a serious challenge on Saturday - an away match against London's Chelsea.
The fantastically performing Manchester team has not experienced a single defeat in the championship - 15 wins, 2 draws. The "Cityzens", who have even 41 points, have recently won 7 consecutive matches.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has started to struggle. The "Blues" unexpectedly had to admit a 1:2 defeat to the "Wolverhampton Wanderers" in the lower part of the league table during the last round. The London team has triumphed in only one of the last four matches in the country's championships.
Chelsea dropped to the fourth position - 31 points. The same number of points were collected by London's Arsenal, which is ranked fifth.
Impressive is the ratio of goals scored and conceded by Manchester City - 45:7. The "Cityzens" are the most productive team in the championship. Chelsea players scored 31 goals and conceded 13.
In the Premier League, these clubs have faced each other 42 times. Chelsea leads convincingly. London footballers have achieved 24 victories, stumbled 11 times, and 7 matches ended in a draw. However, last season, both matches ended with the same result of 1:0 in favor of the Manchester team.
If the "Blues" win on Saturday, they could move up to the third place. That is where the London Tottenham Hotspur players step in, collecting 33 points. They will try their luck away against Leicester City.
If Chelsea loses, they could drop down a step. Arsenal, who are neck and neck with this club, will host Huddersfield Town at home. In the second position is Liverpool, who have gathered 39 points, and will face Bournemouth away.
