Manchester City vs Chelsea LIVE: MCI v CHE, Premier League latest updates
Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the Premier League match between Manchester City and Chelsea, which is being played at the City of Manchester Stadium in the United Kingdom.
Just when Manchester City appeared to have resumed normal service, Pep Guardiola’s side once again finds itself under the microscope as it prepares to host top-four rival Chelsea in the Premier League’s big weekend clash on Saturday.
A 6-0 hammering of Ipswich Town last weekend looked like the moment the champion had put all the frustrations of the first half of the season to bed in spectacular fashion.
But it proved something of an illusion as a horrible capitulation to Paris St Germain on Wednesday left City in grave danger of being eliminated from the Champions League.
City led 2-0 in the French capital but ended up losing 4-2 — a defeat that left it 25th in the 36-team table and needing to win its last game to stand a chance of a playoff spot.
Chelsea, which ended a five-game winless streak in the Premier League when it beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, will relish the chance to put another dent in City’s ego.
Enzo Maresca’s side’s title challenge may have faded but it is in fourth spot, two points ahead of fifth-placed City and the mood will be buoyant as it heads to The Etihad.
