City won that match 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday to remain second in the league table, while the Blues fell to 10th place.

City are -285 favorites (risk $285 to win $100) and the Blues are +700 underdogs on the 90-minute money line in the latest Manchester City vs. Chelsea odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Before you make any Chelsea vs. Manchester City picks or English FA Cup predictions, you MUST see what SportsLine soccer insider Martin Green has to say!
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $33,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season.
Green is 7-2 on his soccer picks since the break and 6-3 on his 2022-23 FA Cup picks so far. He also went 23-23-1 on his World Cup picks and crushed his tournament predictions on the Early Edge. He backed the USMNT to advance (+100), Kylian Mbappe to win the Golden Boot (+900) and Netherlands, England and Argentina all to win their groups (+210) among his correct picks.
Green knows the Citizens had little trouble with Chelsea on the road Thursday and are tough to beat at the Etihad. They are 7-1-1 at home in league play, with a 30-10 goal advantage. They have beaten Chelsea four straight times without conceding a goal, and their superior depth gives them an edge. Substitutes Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez combined on Mahrez's sixth goal in all competitions to win Thursday's match. Both could start Sunday, and World Cup star Julian Alvarez, who has seven goals, also could be in the mix.
The expert also has taken into account that the Blues had some solid chances in Thursday's game but couldn't finish. They have won the past two FA Cup meetings, including a 1-0 victory in the 2020-21 semifinals. Chelsea have advanced from 24 straight third-round matches in the competition. City's focus will be on repeating as champion of the Premier League, so the Blues should have more motivation. Kai Havertz (five goals overall) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (three) will be the leaders of the injury-ravaged attack.
Now, Green has taken an in-depth look at the Manchester City vs. Chelsea match from every angle.
