Chelsea will face Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, looking to double the Premier League title against the current champions – and Maurizio Sarri has a master plan to achieve that.
In December, at Stamford Bridge, the Blues posted their best performance of the season with a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from N & # 39; Golo Kante and David Luiz.
That day, Eden Hazard played the role of fake nine, while Raheem Sterling held a similar position for the visitors and that the team of Pep Guardiola had only four shots framed during all the meeting .
It is unlikely that any one or the other of them will be invited to play again in this position, with Gonzalo Higuain signing for the Blues and Sergio Aguero fit to play for City.
The Blues were very successful against City in the first Premier League match between the two opponents.
And Sarri thinks that to win City, you have to beat the high pressure again and do it quickly.
"I think we were lucky [in the 2-0 win]because we scored in a very difficult moment of the game, maybe we deserved to win in the second half, "said Sarri. But I think we were lucky in the first half because we scored in a difficult time.
"I think in this match, we defended very well, because they had only three chances, not more … It's not easy against Manchester City to give them only three, four opportunities.
"At home, I think they've scored 43 goals in 15 games – over three on average – it's very difficult – we really have to defend ourselves well.
"We have to be very fast when we are able to get the ball back, because the first balloon that they can support very, very, very well is very difficult to get out of this situation, if we can do it, I think that we can find spaces, but it's very difficult. "
