Nollywood superstar John Ikechukwu Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu has tipped Chelsea to beat Manchester City when the heavyweight sides clash in the Premier League.
The Blues welcome the reigning champions to Stamford Bridge on Saturday on the back of two succesive defeats.
City, meanwhile, are flying high – undefeated in England’s top-tier.
Still, Ibu, an ardent Blue, has cast his bet in favour of the London side.
“This could be the best game so far this season,” the comic actor was quoted by All Nigeria Soccer.
“The two teams have world class players but despite City’s invisibility so far I have the confidence that Chelsea will bounce back after the loss to Wolves. Eden Hazard will be massive.”
Speaking on the impact of Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, Ibu who was once a semi-professional boxer stated:
“What a difference he has made. He has a calming influence and the players want to play for him. Unfortunately, they lost to Tottenham and Wolves which I hope will not be the case on Saturday.
“Sari is simply a pro and I have my confidence in him. No doubt it will be a big match but its Chelsea’s day.”
