Man City v Chelsea 8.00pm SkySports
Arguably the best 2 sides in the league face off this Monday evening, and a cracking game is in store, or is it? This season away to (at the time) other title challengers Chelsea set up shop, played 19th century football, and drew 0-0 away to Man Utd and 0-0 away to Arsenal. I expect Chelsea to do the same again, and try for a smash and grab. This Man City team have scored goals for fun though this season, even against the better teams in the league, 6-3 v Arsenal, 4-1 v Man Utd, 3-1 v Everton, 6-0 & 5-1 v Tottenham. Man City have won 11 from 11 at home, and they are in great goal scoring form at the moment.
Chelsea won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season, but that was when Man City were still finding their feet, and their away form at the time was scratchy. I fancy Man City strongly for this game; they are a level above anyone else in the league. I cannot see Chelsea’s defensive tactics being enough to stop them scoring, and once they have one, it’ll bring Chelsea out of their shell, and City could easily pick them off.

if that wasn't a goalscoring opportunity, shouldn't be playing football
ref should be interviewed after game to justify why no red.....absolute farce
it is a clear goal scoring opportunity for me if ur 1 on 1 with the keeper , even from halfway
How on earth did Mourninho think that was a goal scoring opp? Oscar from a standing start vs Zabaleta at full sprint 
Riley bottled it, if that was at Stamford Bridge he would have produced a red card. Very poor game

Go on keep going you look more and more a fool
for me , if the foul was made in a position that would have left a 1 on 1 with the keeper , even from the half way line , it should be a red
Nashaticccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
at least there is Korean women's volleyball tomorrow! 
who is 2 points clear at the top of the league ?? i forget
Superb performance from Chelsea, every man absolutely immense.

exactly this because it is denying a goal scoring opportunity
Luiz had a decent game there, out of the 3 people I considered backing, I took the wrong one!!
NO worries, a small £7 profit from that match, chasing the Luiz booking through the match.

gotta give it to them, fully deserved victory
Ivanovic was immense

I don't think Chelsea were that good, but Man City did nothing.
COYGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
All the stats suggested that Man C will not win the Premier League anyway.

this season has had so many twists and turns , i honestly thought that after city beat spuds 5-1 the other night that they would p1ssup , but now , its a 3 horse race and its difficult to pick a winner , cos u can make a good case for all 3
"exactly this because it is denying a goal scoring opportunity"
Oscar was on halfway with a covering defender already sprinting alongside him. Of course the ref takes that into account

nicky27, I don't care who wins the League, however, I seem to remember that Arsenal conceded 6 to Man City, Mourinhio is a winner, whereas Wenger is a go close manager these days, but no more than that.

I just rewound it zabaleta is 20 yeards away
best ive seen chelsea play for years. unders
will arsenal have wrapped up the title before may do ya reckon?

you can still get on Jamaica at 1.07 in the cricket btw. They are playing Ireland. Ireland scored just 161 from their 50 overs, or 46 overs because they were bowled out.
What's Zabaleta got to do with it, Kolarov was the covering defender and was almost alongside them
look forward to seeing the highlights on MOTD tonite , was watching on a dodgy stream whilst listening to the radio
KERCHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG les bleus mulched..............
I thought the covering defender was only able to get that close because Oscar was held back
Aanyway it would have been a 2 v 1 and he'd have had a simple pass to put Hazard clear
Aanyway it would have been a 2 v 1 and he'd have had a simple pass to put Hazard clear
To me it's a cynical challenge knowing that he's stopping a goalscoring opportunity. Straight red card. And yet we still have to put up with bookings for taking your shirt off, etc, etc.
amazing how there was only 1 goal really , with the amount of clear goal scoring opportunities there were
There was no-one along side. Kolorov at least 15 yeards away none of them would have caught him....... To Fred how is zabaleta getting him when he is jogging back 20 yeards away http://i57.tinypic.com/34hxwye.jpg
now show a picture of how much closer Kolarov is at the point Oscar is pulled down
Oscar has to turn his man, control the all then run 50 yards with it and you don't think Kolarov would catch him?

they will show it on sky in a minute then watch, he was 15 yards away exactly as I recall it when it happened
For me though, it's not all that important whether it was a red card. Chelsea won anyway. Arguing over a red card takes away from Mourinho and Chelsea totally outclassing Manchester City, certainly for large parts of the match.
He is closer when the foul is made and much closer once Oscar has been held , but if the defender tries to tackle he could just put Hazard clear
Would have been important Darlo because they would be down to 10 and would still have to go **** or bust and more likely to concede on the counter
It's not important now though. And only had a slight impact on the final minute or so. All this ridiculous debating - week in, week out - of officials' decisions takes away from the real reasons why teams win or lose.
any possession is a 'goal scoring opportunity' if you think about it ... i havent seen it properly yet , but looks like the' last defender ' rule should have been applied , but its totally ambiguous and open to many different interpretations, thats what makes the game so great

But very clear Dean didnt bother because it is a high profile game, none of them do now. If he gives the yellow it has to be a red
Exactly Nicky. There's no point berating Mike Dean for a decision when he gets one view, when people on here can't decide whether it was a red card or not having seen it multiple times.
0-1 didnt flatter chelsea tonite , could easily have been 0-2 or 0-3
Kelly, I agree it should have been a red. But it's not important now. The key from tonight is that once again Mourinho has proved himself to be the best manager in the league on the key nights. And his Chelsea team were brilliant too.

Spot on there
i was @ stamford bridge last wednesday night for the 0-0 with west ham , very frustrating night for chelsea fans , but they'd have taken 0-0 west ham for 0-1 city
Agree Nicky. Four points from those two matches is a good return. And had it been the other way round, City would be a point better off.
although i want to agree with those who say that was a red card, because to my mind it was for incidents like that the law was introduced, rather than when a goalie brushes an attacker in a genuine attempt for the ball.
could you imagine the furore that would have ensued had he red carded him?
i have always taken the view that players who deliberatly go to operate outside the laws of the game warrant no place on the pitch.
an outdated view i know, but i reckon that after a few weeks carnage the players might pay a bit more attention to the laws of the game.
