It’s a meeting of two former friends as Enzo Maresca begins his Blues reign against his former boss Pep Guardiola who will want to show a statement of intent from the onset. These two sides have met once this summer on their respective pre-season tours of the USA, with Erling Haaland’s hat trick helping the reigning champions to a commanding 4-2 victory in Columbus, Ohio earlier this month.
It’s quite the baptism of fire for Enzo Maresca in his first competitive match in charge of Chelsea since being hired from Leicester to replace the one-and-done Mauricio Pochettino in June, with pre-season having been a struggle.
H2H / Stats
Sunday’s guests have won three and drawn two of their last five competitive games against Chelsea, claiming a 1-0 win when the pair met in the FA Cup back in April.
Chelsea wins: 71
Man City wins: 66
Draws: 41
Team News
Having signed a chunk of players, it’s difficult to predict how Chelsea will line up for the game. They will, however, miss the services of captain Reece James, who is currently nursing another hamstring injury and is also suspended for this game after his sending-off against Brighton towards the end of last season. Nicolas Jackson, Axel Disasi, Omari Kellyman and Djordje Petrovic are doubtful for the game.
As for City, Jack Grealish might be absentee while Brazilian winger Savinho could make his Premier League debut after joining from sister club Troyes. Rodri, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and John Stones have all returned to training after featuring in Euro 2024 and should be part of the team.
Probable Line-Up
Chelsea XI: Sanchez (GK), Disasi, Cucurella, Colwill, Badiashile, Fernandez, Caicedo, Palmer, Neto, Jackson
Man City XI: Ederson (GK), Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Silva, Haaland
Verdict
Man City beat Chelsea in preseason but shouldn’t let you write the hosts off. One thing for sure is the Blues are not yet settled and should still shake up the team before the transfer window ends so Man City should capitalize on that instability.

Erling Haaland to Score✅
Reason: Chelsea’s frustrating summer campaign was littered with alarming defensive woes that will be fully punished again by Haaland if repeated on Sunday.
Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reasons: The Blues showed enough in pre-season to suggest that they will create plenty of chances, but they will also likely concede plenty of goals.
