Manchester City will begin their Premier League title defence against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge today, Sunday, in the first round of top-level matches within the framework of the new 2024-2025 season.
Manchester City, the “defending champions for nearly four seasons”, won the Charity Shield by defeating Manchester United on penalties (7-6) and entered the game in high spirits. The team hopes to continue its journey to defend the title.
Manchester City played a total of four friendly matches in the preparation season, beating Chelsea 4-2 and losing to Barcelona, Milan and Celtic.
On the other hand, Chelsea will seek to make a good start in the league this season despite the difficulties against the defending champions, as they are eager to win their first official game after signing players such as winger Pedro Neto from Wolves and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury, who plays for Leicester City, under contract in the summer.
Before the start of the Premier League, Chelsea played a total of 6 friendly matches, winning against Club America, drawing with Wrexham and Inter Milan, and losing to Real Madrid, Celtic and Manchester City.
