MATCH PREDICTION

Enzo Maresca is taking charge of his first ever Premier League game after leading Leicester City to the Championship title last season. Chelsea are a completely different proposition, though, with their squad seeming extremely muddled and confused after yet another chaotic transfer window. Manchester City are reportedly searching for attacking reinforcements and they are also in a predicament of slowly welcoming players back from their summer holidays after UEFA EURO 2024. They still have the well grooved tactical style of Pep Guardiola that has delivered six Premier League titles in seven seasons and they are expected to win and potentially win quite comfortably on the opening day at Stamford Bridge.
