The headline fixture of the Premier League’s opening weekend comes from Stamford Bridge in West London today as Chelsea host Manchester City.
These two sides have already 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.
Once again Pep Guardiola’s side go into a new campaign as strong title favourites and very much still the team to beat, having won an unprecedented four consecutive league championships and six out of the last seven.
For Chelsea, it’s the start of yet another new era amidst another hectic transfer window as they desperately try and return to contention, having ended up sixth last term only following a late renaissance that ultimately was not enough for Pochettino.
