Chelsea and Manchester City clashed more than two weeks ago with Pep Guardiola’s squad winning the match 4-2. Erling Haaland secured a hat-trick while Oscar Bobb scored the odd goal of the four for the Citizens. Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke scored for the Blues but it was too late for the club.
The Blues are as usual going through another season of change. Despite picking up their form in the last weeks of the 2023-24 season where they finished sixth in the EPL and qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League, Chelsea sacked Mauricio Pochettino as manager.

Manchester City will play for their seventh Premier League title in eight seasons and are presently the leaders of the English top flight. They won the league title on the last day of last campaign, edging Arsenal by two points to achieve a historic feat.
City’s pre-season form was nothing to celebrate, especially because most of their strong players were absent from the team. They lost to Celtic, AC MIlan and Barcelona (on penalties) before finally winning against Chelsea.
MatchPlug Prediction For Chelsea VS Manchester City
Chelsea has a defence that looked weak in pre-season and it will take the players a while to adjust to a new coach’s style of play. Manchester City looks stronger on paper and they have enough powerful players on their lineup to punish the Blues.
Final Prediction: Chelsea Moneyline.
