EPL: Chelsea will be too strong for Man City – Owen

Former England star Michael Owen has tipped the Blues to defeat Man City this weekend in the Premier League.

Chelsea will host Man City this weekend at Stamford Bridge in what is seen as one of the most challenging games for the Blues, but Owen thinks otherwise.

According to Owen, the Blues be too intense for Man City when they meet. He recounted how Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel defeated Man City when they met last season, including in the UCL finals where the Citizens lost to the Blues.

Owen stressed that Man City were lucky to end the match against Southampton in a 1-1 draw, and they don’t stand a chance against Chelsea, who have been exceptional this season.

Owen, in a statement, told Bet Victor, “I thought City had turned a corner, after scoring six against Leipzig in the Champions League, so the draw against Southampton took me by surprise. In fact, they were a little fortunate to not lose that game.”

“Tuchel won all three games against City last season, knocking them out of two cups along the way. After beating them in the Champions League Final in Porto, it’s clear to me that this is a good matchup for Chelsea.”

Owen added that he expects Man City to bounce back from a poor performance last week, but he thinks Chelsea will be “too strong here and narrowly edge it.”
