Manchester City will be a “completely different beast” to the side beaten twice by Chelsea in the past few weeks when the two meet in the Champions League final, says Jermaine Jenas.
Chelsea have defeated Premier League champions City in the FA Cup and the league in the past six weeks. “I don’t think Chelsea can take much from those games,” said Jenas.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea overcame City 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on 17 April before coming from behind to beat Pep Guardiola’s side 2-1 at Etihad Stadium on 8 May.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s The Friday Football Social, former Tottenham and England midfielder Jenas said those defeats would not be weighing heavily on City’s minds.
“In the semi-final, City had Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Ferran Torres up top,” he added. “All three didn’t get a kick. They were terrible really.
“It was such a different make-up compared to what Chelsea are going to come up against on Saturday.
“This City team is a juggernaut. This is a completely different beast Chelsea are coming up against.”
“But if City put out their strongest team I think Chelsea are in big trouble.” Former Chelsea forward Chris Sutton, speaking on the same show, said he feared for his old club.

He has said it all. City is going to tear them apart.
