New Delhi: Chelsea and Manchester City face off at Stamford Bridge in what promises to be a thrilling Premier League opener. The two sides recently met in a pre-season friendly, where City secured a 4-2 victory, courtesy of an Erling Haaland hat trick. As Pep Guardiola’s men chase a fifth consecutive league title, the pressure is on Chelsea to make a strong start under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Maresca, who led Leicester City to the Championship title last season, has taken over from Mauricio Pochettino, marking Chelsea’s fourth managerial change since the Boehly-Clearlake era began in 2022. Despite a less-than-ideal pre-season, where Chelsea managed just one win in six friendlies, there’s hope that Maresca can bring stability to the Blues.
Manchester City, meanwhile, had a mixed pre-season but came into the league after a successful campaign, amassing 91 points and losing just three games. Fresh from their Community Shield victory over Manchester United, Guardiola’s side will look to continue their dominance, even if their pre-season form wasn’t perfect.
