Preview: Chelsea vs Manchester City prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26
The Cityzens haven’t lost to the Blues in their last 13 meetings.
Chelsea FC are now going to battle it out against Manchester City for their matchweek 32 contest of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This is going to be an entertaining clash between these clubs, which is scheduled to take place at Stamford Bridge.
The Liam Rosenior-led side are finally back to winning ways. They are coming in after securing a dominating 7-0 win against Port Vale in their FA Cup clash. It was a top performance by the Blue and they will now be looking to work on their momentum.
With 13 wins in their 31 matches, Chelsea FC are placed sixth on the league table at the moment. If they want to play Champions League football, they have to finish in the top five.
The Cityzens have secured back-to-back wins in their last two matches. They first took down Arsenal to win the Carabao Cup title and then knocked out Liverpool from the FA Cup after a 4-0 win. Pep Guardiola’s men will be eager to extend their winning run now.
Manchester City are in second place on the Premier League points table and only have a slight chance to win the league title. They need to keep winning and Arsenal must drop points here. Even though Man City will be away from home, they will be confident due to their recent performances against the Blues.
