Ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher thinks Pep Guardiola will try to disrupt Chelsea’s rhythm when Manchester City will meet Chelsea on Saturday.
Chelsea have been in fine form since Antonio Conte decided to play with a more attacking 3-4-3 formation. Since then the Blues haven’t lost a match and are on a seven-match unbeaten streak.
On the other hand, Manchester City have been inconsistent this season. They started the season on a brilliant note but couldn’t keep up the momentum as they had a five match winless run after losing to Spurs 2-0. They, however, coped and gained their form and right now they are third place in the Premier League.
Carragher said, “I think Pep Guardiola will be desperate to get one over on Chelsea and the system and set-up that they are using because he’s been the manager who, when he has come in, we’ve been talking about systems and doing different things.
“But it’s now Antonio Conte who has done something, not that we didn’t expect it because he has done it before, but is different to what we’ve seen.
“I think it will be a fascinating game to look at tactically with what the two managers try and do.
“It’s a real big test for both managers and teams of course, but certainly for this Chelsea system.”
