In our first Premier League home game of 2026, we welcome the London outfit to Manchester for a 17:30 (UK) kick-off on Sunday 4 January.
After Aston Villa’s 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, Pep Guardiola’s team head into our clash with Chelsea in third.
And our boys in blue will be determined to jump back into second with a win over fifth-place Chelsea and return to winning ways following our 0-0 draw at Sunderland on New Years Day.
A win for the visitors, on the other hand, would close the gap between Chelsea and the top three as the race for Champions League qualification continues.
With lots of important narratives on the line in Sunday’s fixture, our encounter with Chelsea will likely be another thrilling one if previous editions are anything to go by.
With that in mind, Guardiola and his team were hard at work during a chilly Saturday session, putting together the final components ahead of tomorrow’s match-up.
