Chelsea Must Take Their Chances Against Man City, Says Merson

Chelsea Must Take Their Chances Against Man City, Says Merson

Former English footballer Paul Mason believes Chelsea could only win the Champions League at the expense of Manchester City if they take their chances.

Merson says Chelsea’s profligacy in front of goal could go against them at the Estadio do Dragao on Saturday.

Manchester City and Chelsea reached the showpiece at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid respectively. Pep Guardiola’s men are tipped as favourites to win the trophy by bookmakers due to the talents at their disposal.

Chelsea on the other side have proven hard to beat since Thomas Tuchel took over as head coach in January and have already beaten City twice this year.

In Merson’s latest column for Sky Sports, the former Arsenal man has admitted he is worried for Chelsea due to their paucity in attacking numbers.

“I'm worried for Chelsea after seeing them at Aston Villa in what was a must-win game for them. They missed another load of chances and that's a big concern,” he wrote.

“I know Chelsea have beaten Man City twice already this season, but I do worry for them in this one. Let's not get carried away, in the game at the Etihad, City missed a penalty to go 2-0 up. If that game goes to 2-0 it could get very messy, but for Chelsea, after the penalty miss, the reins came off and bang.

“If you have a go at Man City you have got a chance, but you've got to take that chance, and I don't think Chelsea have got the players to take them chances. Against Leicester in the FA Cup final, Chelsea had all that play in the first half but they just don't put teams away.
