Match Details
This fixture is played at Stamford Bridge. The exact date and kick-off time are confirmed closer to the fixture and are subject to change for television scheduling. Premier League matches are broadcast live on Sky Sports and TNT Sports in the UK.
Stamford Bridge
Stamford Bridge has been Chelsea's home since the club's foundation in 1905. With a capacity of approximately 40,300, it remains one of the most iconic venues in English football, steeped in over a century of history. The ground has witnessed some famous victories over Manchester City, including the dramatic 6-0 demolition in February 2008 when Michael Essien, Joe Cole and Nicolas Anelka all scored in a rout that remains one of City's heaviest defeats at the Bridge.
Head-to-Head Record
This fixture dates back to December 1907, when the clubs drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge in front of 40,000 fans. Since then there have been well over 150 competitive meetings, with Chelsea holding a narrow advantage in the overall record and a significant number of draws. In the Premier League era the sides have been closely matched, though City dominated through their period of sustained success. Notably, no side beat Pep Guardiola's City more often in the Premier League than Chelsea during his trophy-laden decade in Manchester.
Last Meeting: Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea (January 4, 2026)
The reverse fixture at the Etihad provided late drama as Chelsea snatched a point in stoppage time. Tijjani Reijnders had given City the lead in the 42nd minute with an emphatic finish into the roof of the net, and the hosts appeared set to close the gap on Arsenal. However, Enzo Fernández had other ideas, bundling home at the second attempt in the 94th minute after Malo Gusto's cross caused havoc in the City defence. The result was particularly remarkable given Chelsea were managerless following Enzo Maresca's sudden departure, with Under-21 coach Calum McFarlane taking temporary charge.
Chelsea Season
Chelsea endured a turbulent recent campaign. Enzo Maresca - who had guided the club to the Conference League and the Club World Cup in 2025, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final - departed in January 2026, leaving Calum McFarlane in temporary charge before further changes in the dugout. Those triumphs made Chelsea the first club to win all four of UEFA's main competitions. The Blues now begin a new era under Xabi Alonso, appointed for the 2026-27 season. Key players Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo continue to drive the team's ambitions.
Manchester City Season
The 2025/26 campaign marked the end of an era at the Etihad, as Pep Guardiola brought down the curtain on a decade of unprecedented dominance, departing after winning 20 major trophies across ten years in Manchester. City finished as Premier League runners-up behind champions Arsenal, with Erling Haaland continuing his prolific scoring despite the team lacking the relentless consistency of previous seasons. The Citizens now begin a new chapter, turning to Enzo Maresca - Guardiola's former assistant, and most recently Chelsea's manager - to succeed the Catalan and lead their bid to reclaim the title.
