Moses, Iheanacho Set For Etihad Showdown

By Augustine Akhilomen

Having emerged man-of-the-match award in two consecutive matches, Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses will be hoping to maintain his goal scoring form as Manchester City welcome Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium in Saturday’s Premier League early kickoff top of the table clash.

The Nigerian international has remained one of the Blues most consistent and formidable players in team’s manager, Antonio Conte’s new 3-4-3 formation since losing 3-0 to Arsenal as he scored the match winner against Spurs in last weekend’s 2-1 win.

Still unbeaten in seven straight matches in the league, the Blues will face another tough task against a rejuvenated Citizens side that are second on the log with 30 points after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in last weekend London derby clash.

Recently named the Premier League November PFA Fans Player-of-the-Month, the 25-year old former Wigan star could be Conte’s greatest weapon on Saturday as they bid to consolidate on their lead on the log.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho could watch from the bench for the the third time in the league as City hope to end Chelsea’s Cinderella run.

Iheanacho, who has made seven appearances and scored three goals, will pray for a miracle to make the team on Saturday.
