Yaya Toure has claimed that Chelsea have an advantage over Manchester City when the two sides will come face to face on Saturday.
Chelsea haven’t lost their last seven matches since their 3-0 loss against Arsenal. The Blues are having a dream run in the Premier League and will like to cement their place at the top of the table. On the other hand, Manchester City got past Burnley 2-1 in a scratchy manner.
Toure believes Chelsea’s absence in the Europe could hand them an added advantage. City will have to prepare before they face Celtic in their last group match in the UEFA Champions League on 7th December.
The midfielder said, “It’s going to be a tough game on Saturday, that’s for sure.
“They definitely have an advantage. It’s difficult to play midweek and then the weekend after.
“Sometimes with the European schedule we play on a Wednesday, like this week, and then a Saturday. It’s sometimes tough to be focused and in these kind of games, you have to prepare well to compete.”
