And injuries to centre-backs Wesley Fofana and Axel Disasi only further weaken the backline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are among the bottom-half defensive teams over the last 10 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Man City is averaging 1.70 xGA (13th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chelsea is averaging 1.54 xGA (11th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pep Guardiola&#8217;s squad has returned to its elite attacking form, scoring 14 goals over the last four league matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea is coming off a dominating 3-1 win over Wolves on Monday. Despite missing key midfielder Enzo Fernandez to injury, it generated 3.2 expected goals on 19 shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the recent attacking form and defensive vulnerabilities, a high-scoring contest is likely in the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-89a1765e-b418-46d4-b497-651bc59723d9\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Palmer to score or assist (-103):<\/strong> England&#8217;s fastest-rising star will be determined to inflict damage on his former club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardiola persuaded Palmer to leave City in 2023 after refusing to include the youngster in his plans, which quickly backfired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining Chelsea, Palmer has emerged as one of the league&#8217;s best playmakers. The stats speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Second-most goal contributions (14G, 6A) this season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accounted for 45% of Chelsea&#8217;s goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leads the league in chances created (62).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Palmer is also on corners and penalty duties, which is a bonus to this prop. If the Blues get on the scoresheet, Palmer is likely to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Madueke over 1.5 shots (-165):<\/strong> Madueke&#8217;s exceptional pace and dribbling skills will be key to Chelsea&#8217;s success in this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 22-year-old winger also serves as a secondary striker and has ripped a healthy number of shots in recent games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Madueke has 2+ shots in his last nine starts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Averaging 4.25 shots per 90, ranked 96th percentile among attackers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He should fancy his chances against a City defence that has trouble containing speedy attackers.
