Jamie O’Hara has predicted the result ahead of Chelsea’s game at home to Manchester City this weekend.

Chelsea welcome Man City to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon for a Premier League showdown.

The Blues have 10 points from their previous five league games to move into the top half of the table, but they’re about to run into the in-form leaders.

It would be great to sign off for November’s international break with a positive result in front of the Chelsea fans. They own the supporters a good performance because the home form has been dodgy so far this year.

Chelsea vs Manchester City prediction

TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara has been pretty critical of Chelsea despite their 4-1 win over Tottenham earlier this week.

He’s not impressed in the slightest by the Blues, which is why he’s tipping them to lose on Sunday.

When predicting the Chelsea vs Man City fixture, O’Hara told talkSPORT: “I’ve gone 2-0 Man City. I think Chelsea are going to get found out. You had a decent result at Spurs. We went down to nine men and you won 4-1 and everyone is going Chelsea this, Chelsea that. You’re still pony. You’re still rubbish. If Man City had played against Spurs on Monday it would have been 10-1.”

Battle of the managers

Man City boss Pep Guardiola has come up against several different managers in the Chelsea dugout. Now, he’ll face Mauricio Pochettino for the first time since he took charge as the Blues head coach.

However, the two high-profile coaches have previously faced each other 22 times in their managerial careers.

Pochettino’s got just four wins in 22 attempts against Guardiola teams. There’s also been five draws and 13 victories for Pep.

We are right at the start of Pochettino’s story in West London, which has started off a frantic pace and with a lot of questions about his squad. There’s definitely signs that the Argentine is slowly fitting the pieces of the jigsaw together in recent weeks, especially as an attacking unit.

In contrast, Guardiola is currently working with the finished article after so many successful years in Manchester.
