Alan Shearer gives Chelsea vs Manchester City prediction
The Blues haven’t beaten City since the 2021 Champions League final, but did get an unexpected point at the Etihad earlier this season.

With just seven games left Chelsea can’t afford to drop more points in the race for Champions League football, and Shearer has given his prediction.
“Man City have to win every game with that huge game against Arsenal next weekend,” he wrote in his Metro column.
“I think with what we saw against Arsenal, with what we saw particularly against Liverpool after 25 minutes, City were brilliant, probably one of the best performances of the season. I would think they would carry that on, and I think City will win against Chelsea.

“If Man City don’t win and Arsenal win this weekend, I think the Premier League title race will be dead and buried.
“Prediction – Manchester City win.”
