Matchday 16 English Premier League
There hasn’t been a better candidate for an invincible season since The Invincibles themselves.
Manchester City have been something of an-other worldly force this season, but will be tested by a Chelsea side that has found new life under Maurizio Sarri.
Pep Guardiola’s men have been rampant going forward and stubborn in defence, scoring 45 goals and conceding only seven.
The team has been led by Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero, with Sterling impressing in particular.
He has scored eight and assisted six to lead the league in goals involved in.
The Blues have made Stamford Bridge a fortress this season taking 18 of a possible 24 points there and, so far, going undefeated.
Eden Hazard has once again been spectacular, racking up seven goals and five assists.
However, a recent loss to Spurs in dominant fashion and a 0-0 draw with Everton shows that Chelsea are capable of being shut down, something that City have done frequently this season.
They even dropped all three points against Wolverhampton on Thursday morning after taking a 1-0 lead.
While this should be one of their harder games, City should be able to get the win.
Tip: Manchester City @ $1.83
While far from the incredible team that won the title in 2016, Leicester have become a solid mid-table side.
Claude Puel’s men are solid all over the pitch and are unbeaten in their last six. (CHANGE IF THEY LOSE TOMORROW)
James Maddison has been a revelation in midfield and will be hoping to make amends for his red card, received for diving against Brighton two weeks ago.
Spurs come in to the game following a recent split of the London derbies.
They humiliated Chelsea at Wembley before being humbled in a 4-2 loss against Arsenal.
As always, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen are leading the way. Kane with nine goals, Eriksen with six assists.
Leicester have struggled to win at home, while Spurs’ away record is strong.
Spurs should be too strong for Leicester, but the Foxes have a habit of springing a surprise when people least expect it.

The story heading into this game will be Marco Silva facing off against his former side for the first time.
The Portuguese manager has steered Everton into sixth place after 15 games, ahead of Manchester United.
His side have shown the ability to attack with pace and defend stoutly when needed.
Yerry Mina and Jordan Pickford have been influential in keeping Everton in games, while Richarlison is paying off his price tag up front.
Pickford will be looking to continue to make up for his Merseyside Derby blunder that cost his side the match.
Watford have been steady without being spectacular under Javi Gracia.
They shot out of the blocks and were top after four games, but have since returned to Earth to sit in 11th place.
Everton should be too strong for the Hornets, but Watford defended well against Man City in midweek and will likely be tough to break down.
Tip: Everton @ $1.72
