Man City vs Chelsea Premier League: Manchester City host Chelsea in the early Premier League kickoff on Saturday knowing they realistically need a win to reopen the title race. With their ten-point lead between themselves and the Blues, Pep Guardiola’s side don’t have much pressure to win, especially since they have been relentless in the league of late. If they take the game to Thomas Tuchel’s team and triumph, they could really assert their dominance and prove last year’s Champions League final was an aberration. Midweek, Chelsea defeated Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semifinals to book themselves a place at Wembley and await either Liverpool or Arsenal. City, on the other hand, have had over a week to recover since beating Swindon in the FA Cup third-round. A phenomenal run of form has seen them win seven straight games in all competitions and 14 of the last 15, putting them in contention for another league title. Below are all the latest updates from Man City vs Chelsea:
