Chelsea-Manchester City is a match of the first day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 5:30pm: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
The season of Manchester City, last May graduated champions of England for the fourth year in a row, began with a trophy, the Community Shield. Pep Guardiola’s men took revenge against hated city rivals Manchester United, who had stolen the FA Cup from them in June: it took penalties, in any case, to get the Red Devils right after regulation time ended 1-1.
That of the Cityzens cannot be called a crackling summer as far as the market is concerned: the only arrival is that of Brazilian outside forward Savinho, bought from a satellite club, Girona, while reserve striker Julian Alvarez was sold, who accepted the proposal of “Cholo” Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.
A low profile that could be a consequence of investigations launched by the Premier League into alleged financial malfeasance. The verdict is expected in September and one of the worst case scenarios is even relegation to the Championship. The men coached by the Italian coach, meanwhile, make their debut at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, led precisely by a former Guardiola collaborator, Enzo Maresca. The Blues, after giving Mauricio Pochettino the sack following another disappointing season that ended in sixth place-the Londoners will play in the Conference League-have enlisted the Italian coach, fresh off promotion with Leicester. Chelsea’s star is Cole Palmer, who grew up in Manchester City’s youth ranks, but the club continues to spare no expense in the market and this week bought Neto from Wolverhampton.
The Portuguese will feature from 1′ in the offensive trident along with Nkunku and Palmer: the only absentee is captain James. In City, on the other hand, in addition to the injured Bobb, Rodri will also be missing, who after the tendon problem in the Euro 2024 final with his Spain – he was one of the best – has trained very little with the team.

The Prediction
A few days ago Chelsea and Manchester City faced each other in a friendly in the United States, and Guardiola’s men won 4-2. The Cityzens did not particularly excite in the Community Shield but compared to the Blues they have more certainty and in our opinion should be able to take home the three points. Two very similar coaches clash, one having been the pupil of the other, which is why there should be no shortage of goals at Stamford Bridge.
The likely Chelsea-Manchester City lineups
CHELSEA (4-3-3): Sanchez; Malo Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo Fernandez, Lavia, Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Nkunku, Palmer.
MANCHESTER CITY (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Ruben Dias, Gvardiol; Bernardo Silva, Kovacic; Savinho, De Bruyne, Doku; Haaland.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-3
