The new Premier League season heats-up with a blockbuster fixture on Match Day 1, as former champions Chelsea host defending champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, August 18.

Chelsea enter the match at the end of a rather underwhelming preseason campaign, having won just one of their six friendlies.

Pep Guardiola's team did not have an impressive preseason either, with three consecutive losses to start with. However, City did beat Chelsea 4-2 in their last friendly, before beating Manchester United on penalties to win the FA Community Shield.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Chelsea vs. Man City lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Pedro Neto, who joined from Wolves for £54 million, is aiming to make his debut, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, a former standout under Maresca at Leicester, is also set for his first competitive appearance.

Reece James is sidelined with a four-match suspension carried over from last season and a hamstring injury that could keep him out until September. Conor Gallagher, who captained in James' absence last year, is training with the Under-21s amid a potential move to Atletico Madrid.

Nicolas Jackson returned from ankle issues in pre-season against Inter Milan, and Axel Disasi was back on the bench with Wesley Fofana making his first appearance in over a year.

Chelsea predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Sanchez (GK) — Gusto, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella — Fernandez, Caicedo — Neto, Palmer, Mudryk — Jackson.

Injured: Reece James

Suspended: Reece James

Phil Foden, John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Rodri missed last weekend's Community Shield victory due to an extended break following their participation in the Euro 2024 final. They returned to training this week, leaving Mateo Kovacic likely to start in midfield against Chelsea, and Rico Lewis could remain at right-back if Walker isn’t ready.

City will be without Oscar Bobb, who fractured his fibula in training and is expected to be sidelined for up to four months. Bernardo Silva, who scored in the Community Shield, is expected to start, with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland also set to feature. Savinho may replace Bobb on the right wing.

Man City predicted XI (4-1-4-1 right to left): Ederson (GK) — Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol — Kovacic — Savinho, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Doku — Haaland.

Injured: Oscar Bobb, Rodri, Jack Grealish (doubt)
