Chelsea vs Man City LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today

Enzo Maresca takes on Pep Guardiola in headline fixture of opening weekend

The headline fixture of the opening weekend of the Premier League season pits Pep Guardiola against old protege Enzo Maresca as Manchester City travel to Chelsea. After wins for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United to open the 2024-25 campaign, all eyes are on City for an early indicator of the title race about to unfold.

Guardiola has led the defending champions to four consecutive league titles and begins this year amid rumours that he will call it a day next summer, as City prepare for a battle of a very different kind. Rodri will sit out this trip to west London while there are fitness question marks over their trio of England stars who enjoyed an extended break after Euro 2024.

For all the title talk around the visitors, Chelsea are not short of ambition themselves. This will be Maresca’s first competitive game in the Stamford Bridge dugout after another summer of upheaval for the Blues, who could hand Pedro Neto a debut. Follow Chelsea vs Man City LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog, featuring updates from reporters Dan Kilpatrick and Nick Purewal at the ground.

The City fans hurl abuse at Fernandez as he lines up a corner, stood straight in front of the travelling support.

The visiting fans chant: “You racist b******, you know what you are,” in the first evidence that the summer’s controversies will not be forgotten any time soon by Chelsea’s rivals.
