What to Know
Chelsea and Manchester City are even-steven against one another since December of 2016 (5-5), but likely not for long. They are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 7:30 a.m. ET on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Both clubs have allowed few goals on average (Chelsea 0.2, Man City 0.2), so any goals scored will be well earned.
Chelsea got themselves on the board against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, but Tottenham never followed suit. Chelsea took down Spurs 3-0. The score was all tied up at the break nothing to nothing, but Chelsea was the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, Man City and Southampton ended up with a point apiece after a 0-0 draw.
Chelsea and Man City split their matches last season, with Man City claiming a 3-1 victory and Chelsea retaliating with a 2-1 win of their own. Check back on CBSSports.com for updates on how things play out this time around.
