Premier League: Eden Hazard backs former club Chelsea to beat Manchester City this weekend

Frank Lampard’s young team travel to the champions on Saturday hoping to become the fourth side to beat them in the Premier League so far this season:

Eden Hazard believes Chelsea can further dent Manchester City’s title hopes by beating them at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The Blues are on a fantastic run of form, having won their last six Premier League games in a row but they face a stern test when they face Pep Guardiola’s side.

Hazard who left Chelsea for Real Madrid over the summer, fancies his former team to do Liverpool a favor in the title race and boost their own chances of finishing in the top four.

Chelsea will be hoping to continue their stunning recent form

When asked to Hazard, if he thinks Chelsea can beat City Hazard said:

“Of course I think so. It is not going to be easy. It is hard to play there. Last time we played them we lost 6-0 so bad memories for me and Chelsea. But I ponder this season they are indeed good. They are actually young but they are indeed good so why not go there and success the game.”

When I watch them, no Hazard but it is a party. They can score a lot of goals the fans are happy they are third in the league so it is going to be a great season. They just need to stay there to win games and that is it.

Hazard has had a mixed start to his Madrid career having struggled with injuries and so far he has only scored two goals for the club creating two assists.

Eden Hazard spent seven years at Stamford Bridge before moving on in the summer

He managed to find the back of the net twice for Belgium in their recent Euro 2020 qualifier against Russia however and he will be hoping to take that form with him into the domestic season.

Madrid host Real Sociedad on Saturday hoping to maintain their title push with the Spanish giants currently level on 25 points with bitter rivals Barcelona at the top of the table.

Premier League: Here is my choice for Arsenal’s Team of the Decade

So, it’s less than two months till the end of the 2010s, so recently websites and some papers have started running articles summarizing the last decade. Let’s start with Arsenal’s team of the decade, based purely on their form for us in that spell. Football fanatics from around the world can obtain Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Wojciech Szczesny:
You only need to be beyond the standard to be careful with this place. It took too long for Arsene Wenger to realize that Almunia and Fabianski were mentally not strong enough to play for a club our size. His form at Juventus though has led some to believe the club was premature in letting him go, it’s believed he angered management by being caught smoking in the shower after playing an extremely bad game. He would have been a better option than a Cech past his best.

Bacary Sagna:

While most of our full-backs could be described as good going forward but not great defensively, Sagna was reliable going both ways. His last game for us ended our trophy drought before he became the latest name to jump to Man City. Injuries have meant no one since has had the body of work to rival him for this role with some Gooners even targeting Bellerin at away games.

Per Mertesacker:
His injury-plagued the last couple of years made us maybe not appreciate the German defender as we should have, and he would perhaps not be in Arsenal’s team of the decade in some fan’s eyes. It was concerning to read how he mentally reached the point where he no longer wanted to be picked in the squad as the stress of match days. If that was the case, he should have retired sooner instead of taking a salary from the club.

Laurent Koscielny:
Gooners don’t like how he left, but if they’re honest this has been our best partnership in the last 10 years, with Koscielny making up for BFG’s lack of pace. In his prime, he was one of the best defenders in the Premier League, but an Achilles injury robbed him of fitness, missing the World Cup in 2018.
No longer able to play full-backs games a week it had got to the stage where his game time had to be managed. He clearly feels someone higher up went back on their word, but he still should have handled his exit better.

Nacho Monreal:
Was brought in as a squad player but eventually replaced Gibbs when it was clear he could be trusted more defensively as well as being able to stay fit. Over the years Gooners he got more confident going forward as he grew into a proper leader, adding goals to his game.
Even at the most difficult times, you could never accuse the Spaniard of not giving any more than 100 percent. The decision to sell him and not Kolasinac was one of many mistakes Emery has made this year.

Alex Song:
Still, the closest we had in a decade of perfecting that role as DM. After the departure of Fabregas and Nasri, Song stepped up in terms of leadership qualities. He struck up a great understanding with Vanpersie, adding assists to his game. His form earns a move to Barcelona. Arsene Wenger made a mistake in not resigning him when he was being loaned out to the likes of West Ham.

Aaron Ramsey:
I had to pick him. Not just did he win the three FA cups which ended our long trophy drought, but he scored the winner in 2 of those finals, giving him a place in Arsenal’s team of the decade for his legendary status. A horrific broken leg at Stoke meant fans had to be patient to see him replace the likes of Fabregas and Nasri, and like lots of our British talent could never get through a campaign without time spent on the side-lines.

Santi Cazorla:
So good you could often take him for granted. It was only when he was out of the team you realized how well he was, and how no one could do what he did; the ability to dictate the ball from deep and control the tempo of our game. I truly believe we would have won the title instead of Leicester had he not got injured that year.
It’s ironic that Arsenal gave him so many years to recover from injury but the moment they failed to renew his contract is when he started playing weekly again. He would walk into our current XI and is a shoo-in for Arsenal’s team of the decade.

Alexis Sanchez:
Another gunner who scored in two of the FA Cups he won. The talent was obvious but work rate set him apart, often dropping deep to get the ball and make things happen. A pattern would develop though, as soon as it was clear we were out of any title race, his body language would turn poor and he failed to be the leader his younger teammates needed when they lost their confidence. Stories are that the dressing room accused him of thinking he was better than them because in truth … he was.

Olivier Giroud:
Selection will divide opinion, which is fitting as he did throughout his career, with Deschamps viewing him as his first choice for France even when he wasn’t picked by his club. The fact is that he is one of the few to score over 100 goals for the club and gave us a plan B we haven’t had since. It wasn’t his fault Mr. Wenger never chose to buy a world-class striker to partner him up with, and he only left because he wanted first-team football in time for the World Cup. He came back to haunt us in the Europa League where he was the best player in Baku.

Robin van Persie:

He merits being in this team for what he did for us in his final season, as skipper of one of the most terrible squads in our history. Never before have had a team allocated so much to one man, who single-handedly got us back into the Champions League. That’s why we were so mad that he enforced a move to Man United.

Premier League: Jose Mourinho to spurs Eden Hazard's prediction and contract decisions

While their rivals have decided to use the international break to chop and change managers it has been a pretty quiet one for Chelsea.

The Blues went into the two-week break in third place in the Premier League table joint on points with second-placed Leicester City meaning it has been so far a successful return to Stamford Bridge for club legend and now head coach Frank Lampard. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The team’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend means that they have now won six league games in a row which is the perfect preparation for the match coming up after the international break

Chelsea travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on reigning Premier League Champions Manchester City in a mouthwatering fixture. Pep Guardiola’s men are currently one point and place behind the Blues in the table in the fourth and last Champions League spot.

As preparations for the match start to take shape, check out the latest news from Stamford Bridge over the last 24 hours.

Jose Mourinho to Spurs

Tottenham have parted company with former manager Mauricio Pochettino and the runaway favorite to take over the role is ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

The self-titled special one has had two spells at Stamford Bridge winning the Premier League on three occasions. He has been out of work since being sacked at Manchester United in December last year.

It suggests that Mourinho is close to being appointed as Spurs boss although that thought does not please a lot of Chelsea fans.

Eden Hazard’s prediction

Another former Blue has also been in the news over the last 24 hours with Eden Hazard giving his thoughts on his former club.

The Belgian is currently on international duty starting the 6-1 win over Cyprus. But he has taken his schedule to talk about Chelsea under Frank Lampard and give a prediction for the upcoming match against Manchester City.

Hazard left the club in the summer signing for La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Contract decisions

With the January transfer window heading nearer a decision over some players’ futures will have to be made over the next few weeks especially if Chelsea is successful with their appeal to the CAS over their transfer ban.

Should they be allowed to bring players in over January then that may see some exit Stamford Bridge?

However, Frank Lampard is ready to offer new deals to four of Chelsea’s young players in order to tie their future to the club.
