Chelsea vs Manchester city team news
Over the transfer window, Chelsea and Manchester city have been busy with each team looking to make reinforcements and strengthen their team ahead of the new football season.
Chelsea parted ways with former coach, Mauricio Pochettino, with former Leicester boss, Enzo Maresca taking over the helm of managerial affairs.
Enzo Maresca spoke ahead of the match against Manchester city saying; ” He is uncertain about his lineup to face Manchester City”.
Truly, selection problem at Chelsea would be any manager’s headache as the team currently has 42 first team players.
Chelsea also made new and notable signings with the introduction of Pedro Neto from Wolves, Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham, Omari Kellyman, the 18 year old from Villa, Marc Giui, the young prospect from Barcelona, Kieman Dewsbury Hall who rejoins his former Leicester city boss, Renato Veiga, and goalkeeper, Filin Jorgensen.
There were also few exits with Conor Gallagher leaving for Atletico Madrid, and several players going on loan deals.
Manchester City also transferred in Savinho from Girona with Kalvin Phillips and Jaoo Cancelo returning from their loan deals, while Julian Alvarez left for Atletico Madrid on a 5 year deal.
However, the transfer window is far from over as we expect more business from the two teams notably from Chelsea as the blues are vying a move for Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea is without Captain Reece James, who is currently nursing a hamstring injury and is also suspended for this game after his red card against Brighton toward the end of last season.
Nicolas Jackson came off the bench in the 1:1 draw with Inter at Stamford Bridge last weekend following an ankle issue that prevented him from playing in the USA.
