Sunday will see the Blues and the Cityzens face each other for the second time since the turn of the year. The two clubs locked horns with each other in the Premier League on Thursday (5 January), with Pep Guardiola’s men coming out with a narrow 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on the BBC, Sutton noted that the Cityzens have developed a new problem this season. According to the Englishman, City are now relying on Erling Haaland in front of goal unlike in recent seasons when the goalscoring responsibility was shared around the team.

Sutton went on to shed light on Chelsea’s problems and tipped Manchester City to earn a convincing victory over the west London outfit on Sunday despite the closeness of their last encounter. He continued:
A defeat against the Cityzens this weekend would put an end to the Blues’ hopes of winning a domestic crown this term. Graham Potter’s side are already out of the EFL Cup. They are currently not in the race for the Premier League title as they are tenth in the table with 25 points after 17 games.

Speaking after yesterday’s result, Sutton cast doubt on Potter’s continuity at Stamford Bridge. The Englishman explained that Blues owner Todd Boehly could be forced to give up on the tactician if the Londoners go out on Sunday.
