New Season, New Chelsea
Chelsea begins the new season with a new manager, Enzo Maresca, who will make his Premier League debut on August 18 against Manchester City. Maresca previously managed Leicester City, leading the Foxes back to the Premier League in a career-high.
Marazka replaces Mauricio Pochettino, who led Chelsea to a sixth-place finish last season, which was not enough for the club’s ambitious owner Todd Boeli. Boeli, who bought the club from Roman Abramovich two years ago, has continued to invest heavily in transfers, spending more than $1 billion. This summer, the club has acquired players such as Pedro Neto from Wolves, Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester.
Manchester City Begin Title Defence
Manchester City are a team that has won the Premier League for the last four seasons in a row. Almost all the key players who contributed to last year's victory are still in the squad, which allows them to expect a high level of performance this season.
For City, the season has already begun. A few days ago, they played in the Community Shield against Manchester United, which ended in a 1-1 draw after normal time, with the winner being decided by a penalty shootout. Despite winning on penalties, the team's overall performance left much to be desired. If they want to beat Chelsea in the upcoming match, they will have to raise their level of play.
Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction
We believe that Chelsea's time to beat Manchester City has finally come. The Blues look very confident in the 2024-25 season, although they are inferior to their opponents. However, the game will be held at their home stadium, which will give Chelsea players additional motivation. A tough game is expected, but we believe that Chelsea can achieve victory.
