are very much in form after beating Spurs 3-0 away. On the other hand Manchester City lost some form after they played a draw at home to Southampton last time out. Will the present form of these teams hold the key? Time will tell, but Chelsea are playing  the Champions, Manchester City. It will be a tougher test for Chelsea. If they win this match, then they will be unstoppable this season. Chelse are joint top of the table with Liverpool and Manchester United all on 13 points.
