2023 Season Soccer Past Picks

Chelsea has a losing record getting outscored 41-36 in 35 matches. After finishing third in the English Premier League standings a year ago, Chelsea has dropped to 12th place. They've scored 6 goals in the last three games but have only one win to show for it. That's because Chelsea's defense has been hit hard by injuries with defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante, right-back Reece James, defender Benoit Badiashile, and left-backs Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella out, while centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly (hamstring) is doubtful. They've allowed 9 goals in their last six league road games and head into a hornet's nest at Manchester City. If Manchester City triumphs, they win the Premier League for the third straight season. Manchester City has the best offense in the league (92 goals scored in 35 matches). Defender Nathan Ake is unlikely to play and 14 of their last 18 league games have gone OVER 2.5 goals, as well as 25 of their last 29 league home contests. Take Manchester City/Chelsea OVER the total.
