If one were to make a Manchester City vs Chelsea vs Chelsea match prediction, many would consider the hosts to be the favourites. However, former Blues superstar Eden Hazard has lent his support to the blues to come out victorious this time around.
While speaking to Sky Sports:
‘Of course, I think so. It’s not going to be easy. It’s hard to play there. ‘Last time we played them we lost 6-0, so bad memories for me and for Chelsea as well.
‘But I think this season they are really good. They are really young, but they are really good, so why not go there and win the game?
‘When I watch them, no Hazard but it’s a party! They can score, they score a lot of goals, the fans are happy, they are third in the league, so it’s going to be a great season. They just need to stay there, win games and that’s it.’
