Manchester City will be guests against Chelsea - a team eager to regain its image after a disappointing performance against Everton. However, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals shows that The Blues still have a potential to create surprises.
April is always the golden time for Man City under coach Pep Guardiola. They have won 28/31 recent Premier League matches this month, averaging 2.50 points/match - the highest number in league history for a coach.
That explains why Man City often accelerates strongly in the late season. Arsenal understands this and expects Chelsea to create a necessary tap-in. However, the London team's form is not convincing when they have only won 1/6 of their most recent matches in the Premier League, and have just experienced two consecutive defeats.
The absence of Enzo Fernandez due to an internal suspension further complicates Chelsea's situation. The Argentine midfielder is the center of creativity with 41 cross-line passes and 51 chances created this season.
Responsibility is likely to fall on Cole Palmer's shoulders. In the opposite direction, Erling Haaland just scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup, but his form in the Premier League has stalled when he has only scored 3 goals in the last 12 matches.
Chelsea is clearly inferior to Man City in recent Premier League encounters. The Blues have not won in their last 9 encounters (3 draws, 6 losses) since the 2-1 victory away from home in May 2021 - when they still maintained balance against their opponent.
