No side has beaten Pep Guardiola’s Man City on more occasions in the Premier League than Chelsea, who have five wins since the start of the 2016/17 season.

Chelsea are looking to prevent Manchester City recording a fourth successive victory against the Blues for the first time in their history. Our last win against City was our Champions League success in Porto in May 2021.

Our last league win against Guardiola’s side came earlier the same month at the Etihad (2-1) when Hakim Ziyech and Marcos Alonso scored our goals.
