Two bruised Premier League giants face off on Saturday night

Manchester City welcome Chelsea to town on Saturday night for an intriguing clash between two Premier League giants.

Both have plenty of league titles to their name, but neither are considered contenders this season after topsy-turvy campaigns which are showing few signs of stabilising.

City’s latest debacle saw them let a two-goal lead slip at PSG to lose 4-2 and severely hamper their Champions League hopes.

Chelsea beat Wolves on Monday but their five-game winless run heading into that match has all but ended their title hopes.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Man City vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 5.30pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, January 25, 2025.

The match will take place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

Romeo Lavia has been ruled out for Chelsea, although Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill could return.

Trevoh Chalobah is expected to start in central defence with Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile injured. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Omari Kellyman will also miss the game.

Man City vs Chelsea prediction

This should be a really entertaining game under the lights at the Etihad. Neither team are known to put the brakes on, especially City at home, so Chelsea will sense an opportunity against their leaky defence.

Chelsea, too, have struggled to keep clean sheets of late, so goals should be a guarantee. Can Enzo Maresca get one over on his former mentor? Will City be boosted by their trio of January signings?

Man City 2-2 Chelsea.
