Manchester City vs. Chelsea: City Will Dominate Chelsea in EPL Clash

Chelsea hasn't lived up to its seasonal expectations in the English Premier League this year. They currently sit fifth in the table, three points behind Arsenal for the final UEFA Champions League position.

If a team struggles this deep into the season and then has one memorable game against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League, does that mean you trust them?

I don't. 

While Chelsea have played better in other tournaments like the UCL, their struggles in the EPL will continue when they play Manchester City on Wednesday at Etihad Stadium. City will dominate the Blues.

City has had a few bumps in the road in the latter part of the season but have remained consistent. The Blues, however, have been disappointing to say the least. Fourteen times this campaign Chelsea has either recorded a draw or loss. 

Strikers haven't been able to score on a consistent basis, Fernando Torres has been dreadful and the chemistry of the club is out of whack.

Despite their talent and experience, this is a team you can't trust for the rest of the season. They have given you no reason to.

Manchester City has been one of the two most consistent teams in the league this season. There has only been seven instances where City hasn't earned three points. 

Other than Manchester United, no other team can say that.

Aside from its blemish against Swansea City, Manchester City has outscored opponents 9-1 in the previous four games. 

Sometimes people overreact to one loss. I realize that City's loss to Swansea City was disappointing, but this is still a much better unit than Chelsea.

City is ready to dominate Chelsea on Wednesday and I see it happening.

Prediction: Manchester City 2, Chelsea 1

The scoreline doesn't scream domination, but I think Chelsea will get one late while City controls the game.
