Match preview
Manchester City host Chelsea in the Premier League on 4 January 2026. Manchester City sit 2nd on 78 points and Chelsea are 10th on 52. Manchester City have won 4 of their last 5 (WWWWD), while Chelsea have won 1 of 5 (DWDLD). In their last 1 meetings, Manchester City won 1, Chelsea won 0 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.
How this is worked out
Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
