Eden Hazard has shared his prediction for Chelsea's Premier League clash with Manchester City this weekend, backing backed Frank Lampard's side to secure a positive result.
Hazard , now at Real Madrid, endured a match to forget in Chelsea 's last trip to face Pep Guardiola's side after the Blues suffered a 6-0 hammering at the Etihad Stadium last season.
However, Chelsea have improved significantly under the guidance of Frank Lampard this season and head into the match a point ahead of City , who lost last time out against Liverpool.
While Hazard admits it will not be an easy game for Chelsea, he believes that Lampard's young squad have the capacity to secure a victory in the match.
“Of course they can beat Man City. It’s not going to be easy, it’s hard to play there and last time we played there we lost 6-0,” he told Sky Sports.
“So it’s bad memories for me and for Chelsea as well but I think this season they are really good. They are really young but really good, so why not go there and win the game?”
City lost 3-1 to Liverpool prior to the international break, which allowed Chelsea to move ahead of them in the standings and has put Guardiola's side on the back foot in their quest to land a third Premier League title in a row.
