Four reasons why Chelsea can beat Manchester City

“It means we start very well the season“, he smiled when this was put to him.

It was certainly on full display against West Bromwich Albion as Yaya Toure blasted them with a brace as Manchester took a comfortable 3-0 win to shoot them atop the early Premier League table.

Cahill didn’t appear to be too concerned over the defeat, instead has focused his mind-set on Chelsea’s final pre-season fixture against Fiorentina, explaining that “We’re confident, we have a good squad and another game on Wednesday”.

It was game over for West Brom, and the sight of Sergio Aguero, the top scorer in the division last season, rising from the bench to come on just after did little to lift the lull that had engulfed The Hawthorns following Kompany’s goal. I’m taking the draw here in the first meeting of the heavyweights, both games between the two finished 1-1 last season and that correct score may be a tempter for those looking for a bigger odds bet.

The City boss confirmed that key striker Sergio Aguero has got a full weeks training under his belt and should therefore be in contention to start against Chelsea this weekend.

Pellegrini did not want to be drawn into commenting on that matter and claimed it would make little difference to players’ preparations for the game anyway.

And the City manager said: “Our most important players are in their best ages”.

His intervention follows a strongly-worded statement, released to The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, by the Premier League Doctors’ Group, which represents all the doctors working in the top flight and is a powerful trade body.

“I’m hoping this one will go our way and it’s vital that it does”. “With it being our first home game of the season, we want to get off on the right foot”.

“I can not say it’s crucial, it’s decisive, or it’s very, very important”, said Mourinho. Swansea play Newcastle and Tottenham meet Stoke in the weekend’s other match.
