Manchester City vs Chelsea head-to-head record: stats, head-to-head and more

In recent years, Manchester City and Chelsea have been an intense and frequent rivalry, with several reversals of fortune. Although City have tended to emerge victorious, Thomas Tuchel’s arrival at Chelsea provided a new challenge for Pep Guardiola. Now with Pochettino in charge at Stamford Bridge, the score is even, with two draws to go along.

Today, the two teams are living in very different realities. Manchester City leads the Premier League table, while Chelsea sits unimpressively in tenth place and has no European competition. Both clubs are known for their ability to spend large sums of money on the transfer market, which adds an additional element of competition between them.

The upcoming meeting between these two footballing giants is shaping up to be a thrilling and pivotal event, with the loser out of the FA Cup title race. Scheduled for Saturday 20 April at 18:15, the match promises to be an action-packed and tense encounter.

As for recent results between the two teams, the last two meetings were two draws in the Premier League. The 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge was a thrilling affair, with Erling Haaland scoring twice, Rodri’s memorable 86th-minute goal and Cole Palmer converting a late penalty to hand the win to the Londoners.

Before this encounter, Manchester City had won six consecutive matches 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 the famous goal by Kai Havertz.

These recent clashes between Manchester City and Chelsea have demonstrated the unpredictability and excitement that characterises this rivalry.

The Premier League kicks off this week, and both teams will face each other on the first matchday.
