Live Stream: Watch Chelsea vs Manchester City live online

Chelsea host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge this weekend and the Premier League champions will be hoping to exact some revenge for their defeat at Etihad earlier this season.

Since the arrival of Guus Hiddink, the Londoners have improved a lot and have lost just one game in the League. Despite quite a few draws, Chelsea’s improvement is evident and they will look to finish the season as high as possible.

Meanwhile, Manchester City seem to have recovered from their slump and are back to winning ways. Kevin De Bruyne’s return has been a major factor in City’s recent upturn in form.

The Manchester outfit reached the Semi-finals of the Champions League yesterday and will be full of confidence heading into this game.

Pellegrini’s side need a win here to keep their place in top four and Chelsea will be desperate to dent their Champions League hopes for next season.
