It will be Manchester City vs Chelsea F.C. in the late kick-off on Saturday, so ahead of the game we have taken a look at some key stats involving both sides.
Manchester City Vs Chelsea F.C. Stats Ahead Of Saturday’s 5:30pm Premier League Clash
Manchester City will look to quickly move on from their disappointing night in Paris mid-week when they play Chelsea F.C. on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s side surrendered a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to PSG – a result that leaves them in the ‘relegation zone’ of the Champions League with one game to play.
They play a Chelsea side who were once viewed as outside title contenders but have now only won one out of their last six Premier League games.
Enzo Maresca’s side ended a five-game winless run in the top-flight against Wolves last week and will be looking to pile more misery on Manchester City – in what is a huge game in the fight to make the Champions League qualification spots.

Chelsea Aim To End 10-Match Winless Run Against Manchester City
The last time Chelsea beat Manchester City was when Kai Havertz struck the only goal to lead them to Champions League glory in 2021.
A lot has changed since then with Havertz now playing his football for Arsenal, Man City finally got their hands on the Champions League trophy in 2023 – while also adding a further three league titles since then.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last ten games against Chelsea which has seen them win on eight occasions, with two draws.
In that time Chelsea have only scored five goals – four of which came in a 4-4 thriller at Stamford Bridge last season.
