Man City Has Slight Edge To Win on Sunday
Published on September 20th, 2014 5:05 pm ESTThe "marquee" match of Sunday's slate of English Premier League games will see Man City play host to Chelsea. While the EPL season is just a few games old, this match will have major ramifications for the top of the table.
Chelsea has gotten off to a perfect start this season, going 4-0-0 in its first 4 games while posting a league best goal differential of 9 goals. Chelsea is currently 2 points ahead of both Southampton and Aston Villa despite the fact that both of those teams have played one more game.
Man City, on the other hand, has stumbled slightly out of the gate, posting a record of 2-1-1 in its first four games. This puts Man City a full five points behind Chelsea after just four games - while it is early in the season, Man City would not like to dig itself into an eight point hole after just five games, which makes a victory tomorrow in front of its home fans absolutely crucial.

Man City, 2.50
