Man City are currently on an 11-game win streak and come into Saturday clash on the back of an impressive midweek performance showing against Copenhagen in the Champions League. That said, The Citizens have only won one game against the 'big six' Premier League teams this season, and when City visited Stamford Bridge in November, it ended in a 4-4 draw. This time, Kevin De Bruyne is back and in rampant form – will he be the deciding factor in the title race? 

Chelsea’s season has been wholly underwhelming, and with fan unrest growing Mauricio Pochettino‘s job is looking vulnerable. Fortunately for the Chelsea boss, Connor Gallagher rescued three points against his former team, Crystal Palace, on Monday. A win against second place City could put Blues fans back in the pink. 

Man City vs Chelsea is the pick of this weekend’s Premier League matches, so don’t miss it. Plus, make sure you don’t tune into all the EPL action by checking out our full how to watch Premier League live streams hub.

How to watch the Man City vs Chelsea live stream wherever you are

The Man City vs Chelsea live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
