Preview

Cityenter this match on the back of Champions League triumph, after City booked a place in the Champions League final thanks to a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Domestically, last Saturday’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace means Guardiola’s side know victory over Chelsea would secure a third Premier League title in four years.

However, Saturday’s clash will be anything but straight forward for City, as the visitors head into the game having lost just one of their last 15 Premier League games. Chelsea also booked a place in the UCL Final after disposing of Real Madrid.

Both managers will look to bring out a positive result in this one. It could be a curtain raiser for the UCL final at the end of the month.

Which team will come out in front?

Pep Guardiola’s side will be without John Stones who remains suspended.
