Chelsea
Chelsea finished in 6th place last season under then-manager Mauricio Pochettino and have secured Europa Conference League football for the 2024/25 season. New manager Enzo Maresca will hope he and his players can begin to push for the top four. Chelsea, as ever, have been active in the transfer market with Pedro Neto, Dewsbury-Hall, Jorgensen, Guiu, and many more joining the squad.
Man City
Manchester City will look to begin their Premier League title defence after winning the title for a historic fourth consecutive season last season. City have only made one addition to their stacked squad with the signing of Savinho from French side Troyes. Argentine striker Julian Alvarez has been sold to Athletico Madrid for big money so it remains to be seen if he will be replaced.
Chelsea vs Man City History
Chelsea vs Manchester City is one of the fiercest rivalries in English football, having even contested a Champions League Final back in 2021. This 2021 Champions League final was actually the last time Chelsea beat Manchester City in all competitions. Since then, the Blues have lost six in a row, drawn twice, and beaten a further once. The two sides most recently met in the FA Cup Semi-Final last April, where a Bernardo Silva goal helped City progress to the final.
