Chelsea will be desperate for a win when they will clash with Manchester City on Sunday in the big Final of the Carabao Cup. Manchester City have been in stunning form and have excelled in multiple competitions. But Chelsea have not, and this is their final chance for a piece of silverware.

Chelsea are coming off a nice home win in the Europa League against Malmo, their second in two legs, and moved on to the round of 16. But prior to that they met a tough loss at home against Manchester United and were eliminated from the FA Cup. Things have not been very good in the Premier League either, so Chelsea are kind of desperate to win the Carabao Cup. But they haven’t recorded back to back wins since last year, a stretch of 13 matches in all competitions (6-5-2).
Manchester City struggled a bit in the Champions League round of 16 but managed to beat Schalke by 3-2 on the road. It was a really hard-fought win for City who have now won 13 of their last 14 matches in all competitions. Prior to that win they easily beat Newport County and progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Manchester City are also temporarily sitting at the top of the Premier League but have played one more match than the 2nd Liverpool.

The two teams last met in the Premier League a couple of weeks ago and Manchester City destroyed Chelsea by a massive 0-6 at home. That was the only match with Over 2.5 Goals in the last five between the two though. Chelsea have a shot at some silverware right now and could cover the spread.
