Manchester City begin their Premier League title defence in West London as they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

It'll be a reunion of sorts for Pep Guardiola and his squad, as former Man City assistant Enzo Maresca is now in charge of the hosts – with Sunday's game set to be his first competitive fixture since making the move from Leicester City in the summer.

The Cityzens made a winning start to 2024/25 by beating rivals Man Utd on penalties in the Community Shield at Wembley last weekend, but will want to step up their game to mark the return of the Premier League as they go for a record-extending fifth title on the bounce.

Expectations are lower at Stamford Bridge as a new era gets under way with Maresca at the helm.

His Leicester side dominated possession and played an expansive style on their way to the Championship title last term, but there could be a teething period as he looks to instil the same philosophy on his sizeable Chelsea squad.
