Manchester City ended a very strong season in the Premiership, securing the championship a few games before the end. The final standings speak of City’s performance, as they finished with a 12-point lead over second-placed Manchester United. Now all efforts are focused on the final, and for a long time Manchester City is trying to take this trophy, but still, something is missing. Here we will witness an English final, as both teams know each other well enough to have some big surprises. Coach Pep Guardiola’s players have a very good chance to win this cup, because, in addition to great players and good form, they have shown that they are one of the strongest teams at the moment. On the way to the final, the team did not face many difficulties and coped with teams such as Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and PSG. Despite Manchester City’s better performance, they should not underestimate this match if they want to win the title, as in their last two games they recorded two losses, one in the FA Cup and the other in the Premier League. However, the City team has better players, in better shape and it is no coincidence that it is a favorite in the bookmakers.

Chelsea reached 4th place in the Premiership, but with a lot of luck, because of their last 4 games, they had 3 losses. The team lost the Fa Cup match against Leicester, then relied on the chance that was on their side and after losing the „foxes“ to Tottenham, they ranked 4th and will play again in the Champions League next season, regardless of the final score in this match. However, Chelsea has a young and still underplayed team and although it offers high-level football, they still need time to reach the level of the top teams. The Londoners play aggressively in most of their matches and mainly on counterattacks, watching for the opponent’s mistakes. Manchester City, however, is the more experienced team, with an already built and played team, and is unlikely to allow many surprises. In this match, I think that Manchester City will win, although difficult this final.

Prediction – home win – 1.86 from 22bet

The team has something to play for, but the most important thing for them is that they managed to save themselves and now they will approach this match more confidently and calmly. Apart from points, the match is also about prestige, as they face the new Premier League champion for this season. The semi-matches have improved the form of the hosts, as they recorded victories against Leicester, West Ham and Burnley. I guess in this match they will perform at a good level and will be able to score a goal. Manchester City is the champion, and despite the loss to Chelsea, Manchester United also made a wrong step and so 3 games before the end of the season City leads convincingly with 10 points. The leader Manchester City finish the season, preparing mainly for the Champions League final on May 29 in Istanbul. This will be the main goal for them and I think they will not put theirs top players in starter team in this match. 

Prediction – both teams to score – 1.94 from 22bet

PSG beat Bayern Munich, although in the second match the Bavarians were close to a turnaround, as the overall result was 3: 3, and Bayern won in Paris with 1: 0 and despite the great desire failed to reach the semifinals. We should also mention the many omissions of the Parisians in this match, and here they should come out much more concentrated, as Manchester City has shown this season that it is one of the strongest teams at the moment. PSG defeated Metz last week and is now preparing for the big clash with the British at home. Pochettino’s players are 2nd in the standings of a point from Lille, who are leaders, and in 3rd place in Monaco, which is two points behind the leader Lille. The ranking at the moment shows that nothing has been decided yet and probably these will be the 3 teams that will fight for the title in France. Kaylor Navas and Marco Verratti will most likely take part in this match, as well as Marquinhos and Abdu Diallo, who may be included in the first team. Neymar and Mbape will be the main scorers for the PSG team in this match.

Manchester City has done very well this season in the English Premier League and has already secured the title, and will now be able to concentrate on the remaining matches of the Champions League. The team is close to the final, so they will not fight on several fronts, like their opponent, but will concentrate mainly in the semifinals of the Champions League and will try to eliminate the French. City has great players and a big bench, and Guardiola will be able to rely again on Mares, Fallon, De Bruyne, and others. For City, John Stone is expected to return, and Ederson will be at the door of the English.

Possible line ups PSG: Navas; Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Diallo; Gueye, Paredes; Di Maria, Verratti, Neymar; Mbappe

Possible line ups Man.City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Silva, Foden

Prediction – home win or draw – 1.80 from 22bet

Fulham ranked 18th with 26 points, the same points as Brighton and 1 less than Newcastle. Fulham has 5/11/12 from a total of 28 games, while teams, that are close to Brighton and Newcastle have 27 matches p[layed, so Fulham needs points to survive and in this match will try to to get as less as one point, if possible. In their last 5 games, they have 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loses, as in the last games with Liverpool, they win away with 1:0, and that gives them a psychological advantage, that can survive this season.

Manchester City makes strong games, having 20 wins from 20 games, but in Premier League match on 7th March 2021 year, they lose against Manchester United at home. The team ranked 1st with 68 points, 14 more than Manchester United, which is 2nd in general standing. With 61 goals scored and 21 allowed till now, I predict, that Manchester City can score again, as less than 1 goal in this match.

Prediction – both teams to socre with odd 2.15 from Betwinner

Man.City makes good games this season with 20 wins in a row in all competitions. In the last games, they win against Arsenal away, then win against Monchengladbach in Champions LEague (16 Round, 1st Leg) and continue its winning series with win against West Ham at home. In this match, they will try to get new 3 points getting closer to the title this season.

Wolverhampton is at the middle of the table with 34 points from 26 games and the team makes 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 games, so has average good performance. The main aim will get a better ranking or staying at the middle of the table, as I predict they will try to get a point or more in this match but will be hard against strong team of Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.

Prediction – over 2.5 with odd 1.736 from Melbet

Liverpool ranked 4th with a total of 22 games played and a balance of 40 points, 7 less than Manchester City. Starting the season very well, now the situation is a little different because Liverpool loses against Manchester United and on the last match from Brighton. Tema loses important points, but still has a chance for the title. This means as many points as possible in the next games. Liverpool will be hoping for Sadio Mane to get back from his injury absence, while Alisson Becker missed the defeat to Brighton in the last game. At Anfield team of Klopp play strong at all and it’s possible to get a win there.

Liverpool last 3 matches: 3 Feb Liverpool 0-1 Brighton, 31 Jan West Ham 1-3 Liverpool, 28 Jan Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool

MAn.City play with no mistakes in their las13 games. Team win against Manchester United with 1:0 and in the last game win with 2:0 with Burnley away. With a total of 47 points and a match less from other teams in top6, Man. City has a good chance to take the cup in Premiership this season. Still, there are lots of games and the team must be concentrated till the end of EPL 2020-2021 year. For City Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake remain sidelined, but there are a lot of class players to play in this game.

Last 3 matches Man.City: 3 Feb Burnley 0-2 Manchester City, 30 Jan Manchester City 1-0 Sheffield United, 26 Jan West Bromwich Albion 0-5 Manchester City

Prediction – 1 with odd 3.62 from 22bet
