The much-anticipated 24-25 season of the Premier League has kicked off. In the first round, a strong dialogue was staged. Chelsea, who spent a lot of money to strengthen this summer and welcomed the new coach Maresca, will face the defending champion Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Although the results of the two teams were very different last season, Chelsea is not afraid of Manchester City at all in the double blue meeting. The home and away matches of the league are evenly matched, which also makes the opening game of the new season of the two teams more suspenseful and interesting! In this game, Chelsea continued to be troubled by the stubborn problem of weak strikers, and the new Premier League rules made them miss penalties, while Manchester City relied on goals from Haaland and Kovacic to win the first Premier League victory of the new season 2-0!

Chelsea, who played at home in this campaign, adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation. Sanchez gained the trust of Maresca and started as the goalkeeper. Cucurella, Colville, Fofana and Gusto were in the backcourt, Lavia and Caicedo were the double defensive midfielders, Enzo Fernandez, Nkunku and Palmer were lined up in the midfield, and Jackson was the lone striker at the front.

Manchester City, who was on an away expedition, continued to use Guardiola's favorite 3-2-4-1 system. Ederson continued to be the team's last line of defense. Akanji, Dias and Gvardiol formed a back three in front of him. Lewis and Kovacic partnered as double defensive midfielders. Doku, Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne and Savinha sat in the midfield, and the Norwegian magic Haaland was the only one forward.
