A repeat of the famous Champions League finals of 2020, involving Chelsea and Manchester City are exactly what we can look forward to in the Premier League when matchday 6 approaches. With all eyes being turned towards this massive game, everyone would love to see the battle between Thomas Tuchel and Pep Guardiola. Will Tuchel reign supreme again or will Guardiola come out on top? Well, find out on the 25th of September.
Fans of both Chelsea and Man City would like to see their rivalry getting renewed. While they expect to face each other again in the Champions League, it's time for the Premier League to host the battle. With Chelsea having brought in a world-class striker in the form of Romelu Lukaku and CIty having broken the British record for the most expensive transfer with Jack Grealish, the odds seem to go either way.
While both their squads are already packed with top-class players, one will always be clueless about who's going to get the better of each other.
Matchday 6 of the Premier League will begin with Manchester City taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the 25th of September.
As we mentioned before, Chelsea is a team filled with world-class players and every other major European club views them as title contenders. With each and every player in the squad wasting no time in adapting to Tuchel's ideas and methods, the manager will be pleased with the dept of the squad and can always make crucial changes to the starting Ⅺ. Due to that, one can expect Chelsea to be ready to take on any challenge that Guardiola puts them through.
When you look closely into the team that City have at their disposal, you could quickly observe the fact that you can name up to two starting Ⅺs. Like Chelsea, City also has enough firepower to take on any challenge that Tuchel brings to them. Due to that, a game involving Chelsea and City is always going to be a close encounter and can even go up to the wire. So if you are looking to place bets on this game or even want to consider football betting, you can do it all with BritainBet.
For a striker, who is known to break records and smash goals, a game against City would be the perfect opportunity to prove to the world that he is capable of anything. While City has previously faced Chelsea without Romelu Lukaku, things are going to be different for City's main line of defence when they are tasked with marking down the world-class Belgium forward.
While we cannot really predict what's going on in Pep Guardiola's mind when it comes to choosing his starting Ⅺ, we expect De Bruyne to be present in the squad to take on a team like Chelsea. His stats against big teams have always placed him ahead and will always ensure to provide assists at the right time.
The head-to-head stats between these two teams in the Premier League shows a positive sign for Chelsea as Tuchel's men have always managed to get the better of Guardiola. However, that does not in any way indicate that City will step away from a challenge. So to get a better idea of the same, here are their head-to-head stats in the Premier League.
