Man City vs Chelsea preview
Manchester City and Chelsea meet in Ohio this weekend in City’s final pre-season clash, ahead of their Community Shield clash next weekend.
It’s the final prep ahead of that Wembley showdown and their Premier League opener the following week – which will be AT Chelsea!
It’ll pitch Pep Guardiola against his former No2 Enzo Maresca for the first time, with the two teams seeing mixed pre-season results to now.
Both teams were beaten by Celtic in July, with Chelsea beating Club America 3-0 last time out as City drew 2-2 with Barcelona, having lost their two games prior to that.
Chelsea are battling to hold onto Conor Gallagher – who skippered the side so often in Reece James’ absence last season – after he rejected another new deal proposal. A move to Atletico Madrid could be announced before these two meet.
The two league meetings ended in draws last season, a 1-1 result at the Etihad following a dramatic 4-4 blockbuster at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season – before City were 1-0 winners in the FA Cup at the semi final stage.

Man City vs Chelsea betting tip
Tight
Last season’s saw these two sides draw twice in the league and separated by a solitary goal in the FA Cup.
They’re both not quite firing on all cylinders – as is to be expected – and the squads aren’t quite full yet after Euros and Copa America exploits.
The two bosses will also be keen not to give away too much detail, given they’ll meet for three points in a couple of weeks. Tight and tough to call.
