The Blues host Crystal Palace after losing their last 3 of 4 home matches with the recent one being a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.Crystal Palace have 6 points compared to Chelsea with only 4 points.
Chelsea began the season quite strongly by bagging 3 points from Brighton but later lost to Liverpool and recently drew to newly-promoted West Brom.They again fell victims to Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in the EFL Cup by being knocked out in the penalty shootout after Mason Mount missed his shot.However,that match saw Timo Werner scored his first official goal in a competitive match and his second in a blue shirt.

Edouard Mendy was handed the gloves in their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and could again take over from Kepa.
prediction;Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace.
The Blues have not been performing according to expectations but we are still confident in them to win the match but not by a huge margin.Crystal Palace have also scored in all their 3 matches of the season.
2.Everton vs Brighton.

Everton have won all their 3 matches and are currently second on the table.They have also won all 6 of their competitive matches this season.Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been their biggest hero bagging a total of 8 goals in all his appearances including a hat-trick in the EPL and another one in the EFL against West Ham.
Brighton only have 3 points after winning 3-0 against Newcastle United but lost to Chelsea and Manchester United.Last weekend against Manchester United,Leandro Trossard equaled a record set by Christiano Ronaldo back in 2006 by hitting the woodwork 3 times.At the same time,Brighton became the first team to hit the woodwork 5 times in a single premier league game since records began.

The best tactical analysts in the EPL meet tomorrow at Elland Road.Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa have met 3 times all being in La Liga.Pep's Barcelona beat Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao 2 times and then drew in the other.
City trail 6 points from first place and champions Liverpool,with one game in hand.If they lose tomorrow,then it will be their first time to fall in a back-to-back top-flight defeat since December 2018.They however recorvered from their humbling defeat to Leicester last weekend by knocking out Burnley from the EFL Cup in a 3-0 victory.
Leeds will definitely not be an easy team to get past after losing just 1 of their 3 league games.They also gave the Reds a difficult time at Anfield despite their 4-3 defeat.Since then,they have easily drifted past Fulham and Sheffield United.

Jack Harrison cannot play against his parent club.Patrick Bamford has scored a goal in all their 3 games and has been a barrier to Rodrigo Moreno getting to the starting line up.He will also be looking to cause some problems in a defence that has not yet settled.

Aymeric Laporte and Bernardo Silva are back after they all played against Burnley in the EFL Cup.City have already brought in Ruben Dias from Benfica and he may make his debut for the club.
A partnership between Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias may prove to be what City have been lacking all along after the departure of Vincent Kompany.

Out:Aguero,Jesus,Ilkay Gundogan,Joao Cancelo.
John Stones is a doubt after he missed last weekend due to fitness issues.Zinchenko has already sustained a fresh injury after almost recorvering from his previous one.
prediction;Leeds 2-3 Man City.
It is no secret that we expect both teams to score in this match with both teams scoring in all their previous matches.With Bernardo Silva,Laporte and Dias making his debut,we back Pep to take home the 3 points.
4.Newcastle United vs Burnley.
Newcastle have 4 points after playing 3 games while Burnley have won none of their 2 games.Burnley recently lost to Manchester City at home in the EFL Cup.
