Man City have been unbeaten in their last five contests across all competitions. Meanwhile, Chelsea have had a mixed record, and are fresh off a loss. Let’s look at each side now more closely.
Man City v Chelsea EFL Cup Prediction – Preview
Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City will try to win their 9th EFL Cup overall, most recently winning the trophy in 2021. In their last match, their 10-man squad outlasted Fulham 2-1 in the Premier League. Julian Alvarez netted at 16 minutes to open the scoring, but Andres Pereira equalised with a conversion after Joao Cancelo was sent off. Erling Haaland then sealed the win in stoppage by firing from the spot. Haaland, however, sustained an injury after the match, and manager Pep Guardiola has said that his number 1 star may be doubtful for the League Cup game. Will the other options on the team be enough for this match?
Chelsea F.C.
Chelsea are looking to win their 6th EFL Cup, and their first one since 2015. In their last outing, they fell 0-1 to London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League. The two sides both showed ferocity in a goalless first half, but Gabriel Magalhaes header on 63 minutes made all the difference as the Gunners won at Stamford Bridge. The Graham Potter-led side have also had to deal with key injuries to the team. Will they somehow pull through in this contest at the Etihad?

Man City v Chelsea EFL Cup Prediction – Final Thoughts
Despite the loss of Haaland, Man City still have a formidable lineup by which to select a second team from. Chelsea, who will most likely also use a second-string lineup, will be hard-pressed to defeat the Citizens at the Etihad. In a rare lopsided game for the rivalry, the Sky Blues will edge out the London Blues and move on to the next round. Let’s now take a look at our prediction.
