The Blues enter this game without Enzo Maresca.

After Enzo Maresca’s removal, Chelsea’s already difficult trip to the Etihad Stadium becomes even more difficult, putting Manchester City the overwhelming favourites for today’s Premier League match.

Since the 2021 UEFA Champions League final, the Blues have not triumphed over Pep Guardiola’s team. City are favoured to continue its 11-match streak against the managerless visitors.

There is never a dull time at Chelsea. After 18 months as head coach, Maresca resigned on New Year’s Day, creating even more drama.

If they have lost their last three league away games, nobody would want to go to the Etihad. But interim manager Calum McFarlane will be hoping for a miracle against the title contenders.

The Manchester giants’ 11-match winning streak going into this weekend highlights their supremacy over the capital club after losing three straight games in two months between April and May 2021. History in this meeting has favoured the Cityzens in recent years.

The hosts will think Chelsea are there for the taking and will back themselves to punish a weak London team in gameweek 20’s final match.
