PREVIEW
We landed a nice profit of 8 points on Thursday thanks to Prohibition in the BETDAQ match bet.
Back to the football on Saturday for the FA Cup Fifth Round, and the feature game is Man City v Chelsea at the Eitihad (5.15pm, live on SKY).
There’s been plenty of mind games from the managers this week but the talking will be on the pitch for the two in-form sides.
Chelsea sit three points better than Man City in the Premier League but have played a game more. However, Chelsea have done the double over Man City this season, and just 12 days ago beat City 1-0 here at the Etihad.
Mourinho said: “It’s not easy to play consecutive matches against the same team, exactly because you try to read the previous game and try to improve things and try to analyse the mistakes and try to analyse the opponent again.”
“The game was very equal. Are we confident? Yes, but I believe they are confident.
“Are they worried? I believe so, but we are too.”
The draw looks the safest play – even thought it’s the one result that neither manager will relish given their already congested fixture lists.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
