In recent years, the confrontation between Manchester City and Chelsea has been an intense and frequent rivalry, with several changes of fortune. Although City have tended to emerge victorious, the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea provided a new challenge for Pep Guardiola. Tuchel has proven to be one of the coaches who has made it most difficult for the Spanish strategist.
Currently, both teams live very different realities. Manchester City leads the Premier League standings, while Chelsea occupies tenth place without convincing anyone and without participating in European competitions. Both clubs are known for their ability to spend large sums of money in the transfer market, which adds an additional component of competition between them.
The next meeting between these two football giants is shaping up to be an exciting event. Scheduled for Saturday, February 17 at 6:30 p.m., the match promises to be a confrontation full of action and tension.
Regarding the recent results between both teams, the last meeting was one of the most outstanding of this Premier League season. The four-goal draw at Stamford Bridge was an exciting match, with a double from Erling Haaland, Rodri's memorable goal in the 86th minute and a penalty converted by Cole Palmer in the last play to give the Londoners the victory.
Before this match, Manchester City had won six consecutive games against Chelsea without the London team managing to score a single goal. However, the last game in which the Blues managed to beat and score against Manchester City was in the Champions League final of the 2020/21 season, with Kai Havertz's famous goal.
These recent clashes between Manchester City and Chelsea have demonstrated the unpredictability and excitement that characterizes this rivalry.
