Looking forward to this crucial Premier League fixture, we have picked out some key stats from this matchup over the years.
City will be the favourites, but Chelsea can be expected to give good value, especially after the 4-4 draw the last time they met.
Chelsea have won more times in this fixture historically, though the two sides are almost neck and neck.
- Manchester City and Chelsea have played each other 135 times in their history.
- Chelsea have won 56 of these, with City winning 50.
- There have been 29 draws, most recently the 4-4 classic at Stamford Bridge in November.
- Chelsea have not beaten City since their 1-0 win in the 2021 Champions League final.
- That game was the third straight win for Chelsea, having also beaten City in the Premier League and FA Cup that season.
- The draw last time out ended a run of six straight wins for City, the longest run of wins since Chelsea won eight in a row from 2005-2009.
Manchester City vs Chelsea Head To Head Record
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side can go top of the Premier League with a win. The champions are chasing a sixth title in seven years, and are currently just two points below Liverpool with a game in hand.
Their 56 goals scored is the most of any side in the division. Last time out, they beat Everton 2-0, and were 3-1 winners away to FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Chelsea’s season has been well below par, and pressure is mounting on manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues are tenth in the table, 13 points below Tottenham in fourth, and a clear 20 points behind City.
They did beat Crystal Palace 3-1 away from home in their last game, but lost 4-2 at home by Wolves on 4 February.
City Have Dominated This Fixture In Recent Years
Since Chelsea triumphed in the 2021 Champions League final, City have been rampant in this fixture.
They beat Chelsea six times in a row before their draw earlier this season. In that time, City scored ten and conceded zero.
When the two played out that thrilling draw in November, many suggested it would be the game of the season.
But going off of their head-to-head record, it seems unlikely we will see another performance like that from Chelsea this weekend.
A Draw Seems Very Unlikely
Although they did finish level last time, the records show this is a rare phenomenon. The match was the pair’s first draw in the Premier League since January 2015, a run of 16 games without a draw.
There have only been five draws between the two sides this century. In that time, City have won 24 times, with Chelsea winning on 26 occasions.
