Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by mukina2: 12:36pm On Mar 18, 2011
Chelsea (Possible, 4-3-3): Cech; Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Essien, Lampard; Anelka, Torres, Malouda.

Man City (4-2-3-1): Hart; Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov; De Jong, Barry; Tévez, Y Toure, Silva; Dzeko.

Referee Chris Foy


Tale Of The Game
After successive wins in the Premier League, Chelsea should be confident against one of their rivals for the top positions.

In September Carlos Tévez scored the only goal of the game at the City of Manchester Stadium, their third win in three games against Chelsea.

Last season City won this fixture 4-2 but Chelsea finished with nine men after losing Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack to red cards.

City have 22 away points; only Arsenal (25) have more points on their travels so far this season.

These teams have met 13 times at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League but in between the last and first, both won 4-2 by City, the visitors have scored just two goals in 11 games.

Before last season’s 4-2 win, City had failed to score in their previous seven visits, losing six and drawing one.

Chelsea test Alex and Yossi Benayoun, who could both return after long term injuries.

Fernando Torres came off the bench in the midweek 0-0 Champions League draw with Copenhagen and failed, for the seventh (six at Chelsea) game in succession, to score – his longest spell in English football without a goal.

City, meanwhile, are still missing James Milner, Shay Given and Adam Johnson, all of whom show no signs of returning.

Stat of the game: Carlos Tévez has scored five goals in his last four games against Chelsea, for United and City.

Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:14pm On Mar 20, 2011
What is wrong? I hope today's not one of those days.
Wrong passes, no shots on goal. City look more comfortable.

Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by cabali(m): 5:16pm On Mar 20, 2011
@ Nateevs you took the exact words out my mouth.

Was just hoping today isnt one of those days


I cant find Tevez smiley
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:17pm On Mar 20, 2011
Build up too slow. Zhirkov should be here not Malouda.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by cabali(m): 5:18pm On Mar 20, 2011
Torres is the only one making sense in blue shirt right now. . . hope he scores!!
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:20pm On Mar 20, 2011
Just get freaking Kalou on the ball. The only dude in the whole team that can carry the ball.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by cabali(m): 5:22pm On Mar 20, 2011
Me thinks today is Torres' day
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:22pm On Mar 20, 2011
Torres doing really well.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by Ibime(m): 5:26pm On Mar 20, 2011
Dzeko is worrying David Luiz in the air.

I'm not seeing this Torres thing wey una dey talk. Make I watch well well.

Its Kalou who I see making moves, plus a few flurries from Malouda and Ashley on this left-side.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:27pm On Mar 20, 2011
Essien needs to be careful with all these needless fouls
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by cabali(m): 5:30pm On Mar 20, 2011
@ Ibime

Seriously??

Torres invisible to you?

Oh yeah! Kalou def has been immense so far. You haven't seen Torres?
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:33pm On Mar 20, 2011
With the way Lamps hit free kicks, anyone should be allowed to take them. We are almost never going to score a free kick through Lamps.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by Dvampire(m): 5:34pm On Mar 20, 2011
malouda is definitely a minus in this game for chelsea
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by cabali(m): 5:37pm On Mar 20, 2011
There is something not right with this combination of players today.

And I have finally found Tevez. . .

He right where I want him to be today grin
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:41pm On Mar 20, 2011
I really will prefer Zhirkov in Malouda's role.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:42pm On Mar 20, 2011
Very very nice flick by Torres.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by nateevs(m): 5:43pm On Mar 20, 2011
Torres is putting a shift today.
Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 0] On Sunday 20th March 2011 by Ibime(m): 5:44pm On Mar 20, 2011
@ Nateevs,

Zhirkov is looking more like Ferreira these days. He's lost ALL his pace.

Ramires shoulda shot there instead of passing to Lamps.

Still, he's got more pace than Malouda and moves the ball more quickly.
