Thought the blues arrived unbeaten in the first place (4E-0D-0L) and with an impressive +9 on the Premier this season, in the odds Man City is the favorite. The Sky blues are +130 for the win and the blues +200. The draw pays +240.
In their last ten games, Manchester City lead the series with (5W-1D-4L), including four at the Etihad Stadium. They arrive at this game in the fifth place of the table with seven points (1W-1D-1L) and +3 in the goal difference.
On the other hand, the blues are concerned with Diego Costa health after he did not start last Wednesday against Schalke 04 in the Champions League. The striker has played all the games in the Barclays Premier and has scored seven goals in four games. After drawing Schalke 04, Mourinho said the striker should not play more than one game per week.
“’It wasn’t to protect him for the game on Sunday; it was because tonight he wasn’t in condition to start the game. He came to us and was completely fine; the problem came with the national team, not with us. Now we have a problem, and we have to resolve it in the best way we can. We just have to manage the situation,” said Mourinho.
