The champions against the newcomers. Manchester City begin the defence of their status as the absolute kings of the Premier League after having won the last five editions of the Premier League by visiting Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca. After marvelling at Leicester, which he brought back to the elite of English football, the Italian takes charge of a Chelsea with a surplus of players and still to be defined. In the preseason they have only managed one victory in six games (D2, L3), so they will have to look for that push on the pitch. A difficult task, considering that they have two draws and seven defeats since the blues won the 2020-21 Champions League final against Guardiola and his team. The Santpedor coach, who awaits the resolution of the possible financial sanction to the skyblues next month, loses Rodri due to injury.
