Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
The first stage of the Premier League, England also brings the first derby of this season, a derby that will be played at the Stamford Bridge stadium, where Chelsea will face Manchester City.

Both matches in the championship last season ended in a draw, 4-4 in the first leg on Chelsea’s field and 1-1 in the return leg on Manchester City’s field. The two teams also met in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where Manchester City won 1-0.
Chelsea:
After two very weak seasons, Chelsea wants to return to the UEFA Champions League groups next season, but also to be involved in the fight for the title. Chelsea finished last season in 6th place in the ranking and qualified for the Conference League play-off. This summer, Chelsea played six friendly matches but managed only one victory, 3-0 against Club America. Just like in the previous seasons, Chelsea again invested a lot of money in bringing in players, managing to spend over 170 million euros, the most expensive player being Neto Pedro from Wolves who cost 60 million. Chelsea’s next match will be against Wolves.
Manchester City:
On the other hand, Manchester City starts the season in the usual way with a trophy, managing to win 2-1 in the English Super Cup final with Manchester United, after kicks from the penalty spot. Manchester City, the champion from last season, also played four friendly matches this summer, but managed only one victory against Chelsea in the other matches, being defeated by Barcelona after kicks from the 11m, by AC Milan and by Celtic. Surprisingly, Guardiola only made one cash transfer this summer, bringing in Savinho from Troyes for €25m, instead selling Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for €75m, this being one of the most expensive transfers this summer. Manchester City’s next match will be at home against Ipswich.
