Chelsea vs. Man City live stream will see the away side begin their campaign for a record fifth straight Premier League title. Can new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca ruin the former boss's day, and can you watch from anywhere with a VPN?

Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Pedro Neto are among the new Chelsea signings, with more expected before the transfer window closes at the end of August. Unfortunately, the preseason preparations have not borne much fruit. Chelsea's only win came against Club America in Mexico, and they lost 4-2 to their Sunday opponents in the United States earlier this month. Can they avoid making the same mistake this weekend?

On Manchester's blue side, Brazilian winger Sabinho comes to the Etihad. The 20-year-old was acquired from Girona, part of the City Football Group, but this does not necessarily mean the end of summer business. Julian Alvarez moved to Atletico Madrid, and a hefty transfer fee, estimated at 75 million euros, gave Pep Guardiola the freedom to go shopping. Nevertheless, even without reinforcements, Man City has a squad more than capable of challenging for the title in the 2024/25 season.

The team looks as follows:

Chelsea XI: Sanchez (GK), Gast, Fofana, Colwill, Kuclera, Rabia, Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Nkunku, Jackson

Man City XI: Ederson (GK), Luiz, Akanji, Diaz, Guardiola, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Doc, Sabinho, Haaland. This match is sure to be the biggest game of the opening weekend. Plus, make sure you don't miss any EPL action with our Premier League live streaming guide.
