Team News

Chelsea
Man City
  • Chelsea's new era under Enzo Maresca will start with club captain Reece James suspended - though he is also injured.
  • Omari Kellyman and Djordje Petrovic are ruled out for undisclosed reasons.
  • Oscar Bobb would have been expected to start here, following his impressive pre-season form, but it was reported that the 21-year-old fractured a bone in his leg in training on Wednesday.

Prediction

  • An inspired second half of the season saw Chelsea eventually finish sixth under Mauricio Pochettino, securing Europa Conference League football for the coming campaign.
  • Manchester City will be looking to extend their own unprecedented winning streak of four Premier League titles in a row under Pep Guardiola.
  • These two sides met in pre-season only two weeks ago, with City 4-2 winners.
  • We're predicting the same result here, though a more competitive affair at Stamford Bridge.
