Chelsea kick off the Premier League TV schedule for the weekend with an intriguing clash against Manchester City live on BT Sport.

The Blues sit atop the table with 13 points – level with Liverpool and Manchester United just below them – and will be determined to open up a gap at the summit.

Thomas Tuchel has proven his men can mix it with the top teams in the world since becoming boss earlier in 2021, now he must sustain the Blues’ early pressure to mount a credible title surge.

City have started the season in decent fashion without demonstrating a ruthless level of consistency in their play so far.

Pep Guardiola’s men were held to a 0-0 draw by Southampton last weekend despite already defeating Norwich and Arsenal 5-0 apiece in 2021/22.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Man City

Chelsea have shown they have all the ingredients required to win a Premier League title, they have the recipe for success, it’s now down to them to prove they have the patience and stamina across a full season.

Showdowns like this one against Man City are very useful to assess where they are as a team. Expect Tuchel to adopt a safety-first approach against the reigning champions.

City have either been explosive or muted so far this term with no solid middle ground. Guardiola will be looking to strike a balance against Chelsea and would probably take a point here.

Our prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Man City (11/2 at bet365).
