Manchester City host Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime in what appears to be one of Thomas Tuchel's final chances to launch a Premier League title challenge. 

With City so far ahead, even a loss to second-placed Chelsea would not derail their own title bid, whereas a win would effectively eliminate the west London club from contention. 

To be honest, Pep Guardiola's teams don't let 13-point leads slip away. 

Nonetheless, Chelsea can take heart from their Champions League victory over the champions, and they have recently returned to form after a difficult December. 

Here's everything you need to know about this heavyweight clash.


Date, kick-off time and venue


The Premier League game is set to begin at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday, January 15, 2022. 

Manchester's Etihad Stadium will serve as the venue. 

Where can I watch Manchester City vs. Chelsea on TV? The match will be shown on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate. 

BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the game live via the BT Sport App. 

LIVE STREAMING: Standard Sport's dedicated match blog will provide minute-by-minute updates, and James Robson will provide live updates. 

Team news for Manchester City vs. Chelsea 

Guardiola will explain City's recent Covid issues during his pre-match press conference on Friday, but the strength of their XI in last week's win over Swindon suggests he has plenty of options.


Chelsea, meanwhile, welcomed both Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante back from illness during the Carabao Cup win over Tottenham, and Malang Sarr also impressed. 

Prediction for Manchester City vs. Chelsea 


This is where things get complicated. 

Chelsea have shown they can beat City under Tuchel's leadership, but Guardiola's team is usually so dominant at home. It might have seemed reasonable to predict the champions would romp to victory in December, but Chelsea's recent improvement is noteworthy.
