Use your William Hill free bets on Manchester City v Chelsea

With Manchester City edging the game on Thursday at Stamford Bridge by one goal to nil, you'd expect more of the same from the Citizens. Chelsea have struggled to find the net with any consistency and striker Aubameyang suffered the embarrassment of coming on as a sub only to then be subbed off again.

With that not helping his confidence and others not stepping up around him, we'd expect Man City to run out fairly comfortable winners. With changes likely as clubs battle on multiple fronts, the fluency may not quite be there so backing Man City to win with under 3.5 goals in the game looks a solid play.
