How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Chelsea
Chelsea are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge, leaving Man City to defend for long spells.
Away
Manchester City
One of the league's best sides. Man City should have most of the ball on the road at Stamford Bridge, so the question is whether Chelsea can stay compact for 90 minutes.
Match preview
Chelsea host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League 2026/27. We project 1.43 expected goals for Chelsea against 1.25 for Man City, and that gap drives our 41% rating for Chelsea. Check the team sheets, released roughly an hour before kick-off, because one absence can shift the odds more than anything else.
