Over 2.5 at 56%, under 3.5 at 67%, from expected goals of 1.77 and 1.14.
Draw no bet
Man City at 68% on the two-way split; your stake comes back if it ends level.

Betting notes
How to bet on Man City vs Chelsea
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Man City vs Chelsea and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
- 02
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
- 03
With the draw only 23%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Man City on the Man City -0.5 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
- 04
The model leans towards goals: over 2.5 at 56% and both teams to score at 56%. Goals markets look sharper than the result here.
