What channel is Man City v Chelsea Premier League match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 8 May 2021
Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions if they beat Chelsea on Saturday.
Manchester City are within one game of winning a seventh English title but will have to do it the hard way to clinch the trophy on Saturday as they come up against Chelsea.
City are 13 points ahead of second-place Manchester United with the Red Devils having just five Premier League fixtures remaining. It means one more win for Pep Guardiola’s men will be enough to see them to the championship.
Chelsea, however, aren’t likely to lie down here as they battle to secure a top-four finish and nail a Champions League spot for next season.
The Blues have performed wonders under new manager Thomas Tuchel and come into the weekend three points ahead of fifth-place West Ham, who play Everton on Sunday.
Chelseas’s run-in is far from straightforward, with ties against Arsenal, Leicester and Aston Villa to come. Yet even a point against the to-be champions would be a positive outcome for the Londoners.

Timo Werner could also be rested with Christian Pulisic coming into the starting XI after a fantastic cameo performance against Madrid.

Our prediction: Man City v Chelsea
City have been on cruise control for much of the past four months as they’ve sauntered to the Premier League title, but Chelsea are one of the few teams that genuinely threaten Guardiola’s outfit.

The Blues delivered a gritty performance in the 1-0 FA Cup semi-final win over City, in which they restricted their opponents to just a handful of shots on goal at Wembley.
Gabriel Jesus and co. will have plenty more chances this Saturday, but Chelsea are defending supremely well right now. This could be a tight game that results in the points being shared.
Our prediction: Man City 1-1 Chelsea (13/2 at bet365)
