The Blues take part in Premier League action for the first time in 2026, as we get ready for our trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City…
The Blues currently sit inside the top five of the Premier League table, and we’ll be looking to cut the gap to the Champions League qualification places with a positive result in Manchester.
Our last victory in all competitions over City came in the 2021 Champions League final when we secured our second European Cup with a memorable win over Pep Guardiola’s side in Porto.
Tomorrow’s task will be undertaken by Chelsea Under-21s head coach Calum McFarlane, stepping in to prepare the first-team squad for Sunday’s tussle and determined to help the players show their best qualities.

The Chelsea players will be kitted out in our home strip on Sunday afternoon, with our classic Chelsea blue emboldening the kit alongside a subtle print inspired by the city’s architecture.
Our home colours will be on display in the North West as we go in search of three important points to start 2026.
