Seems like Manchester City has once again the opportunity to take the second spot in the league right after Chelsea. The question is whether they will be able to gather the 3 points in this game, and move 2 points behind the leader, or will the move up only with a point which would also be enough to get to the second place.
However Blackpool has been the black sheep so far for Newcastle and Liverpool, thus making this game quite unpredictable. A disturbing fact for the Citizens is that they have only won 12 out of 69 Premier League north west derbies away from home.
Carlos Tevez has scored 26 goals in his last 30 Premier League games, and his presence today will be very important. So far City is taking the 14th spot with an away record W1 D1 L1 showing that they are inconsistent away from home.
Blackpool on the other hand has a record at home of W0 D1 L1 and is taking the 10th spot and remains the only team next to Everton without a home victory.
Blackpool have also conceded most goals in the league 15, while City has only gotten 3.
Prediction?
Manchester City to win @ 1.64 (Bet with the highest odds at Betfair.com – 25£ FREE BET): Although the game seems hard to predict, I feel that City needs to put an extra effort in order to get close to the first spot. The team sure has greater ambitions than playing in Europa League, and will make sure that they play next year in Champions League.
