Chelsea vs Man City

Manchester City cut the gap at the top of the Premier League to five points with victory over Chelsea.

The duo would link up brilliantly as Grealish found Mahrez at the back post to tap home. The ex-Aston Villa man was up to his familiar tricks before the match at Stamford Bridge but this time with Mahrez. That was proven on Thursday night when, in the opening stages, Sterling was forced off with a perceived hamstring injury. A delighted 22-year-old flashed them a smile and a wave in recognition. City were much brighter in the second half and were unlucky not to take the lead when Nathan Ake's header struck the post. Graham Potter's side had the better of the first half.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admitted that he is surprised by Manchester United's position in the Premier League table, with the Reds just four ...

That is a good signal, and it is good to have that feeling. "Don’t get too far ahead it is January not even half a season. [United](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) currently sit fourth in the top-flight, but are level on points with third-placed Newcastle United with a game in hand. While United have been tipped as surprise title contenders, Ten Hag was keen to play that idea down after the win over Bournemouth. Ten Hag's men are four points behind [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) in second and nine adrift of leaders Arsenal. [Erik ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag)'s side endured a nightmare start to the season - losing to Brighton and Brentford respectively - but have been impressive in recent months and are now inside the top four.

There was plenty going on and off the pitch at Stamford Bridge as Manchester City came away 1-0 victors thanks to Riyad Mahrez's goal against Chelsea.

With more time to work with Potter than most during the World Cup, Aubameyang may have believed he could persuade the Chelsea head coach he was worthy of a start. He gave everything for the team and was fatiguing a little bit. Potter has a group of players who come close to making a very impressive lineup and finds his options for the first team more limited than he would like. Silva and Koulibaly brought plenty of intensity to the meeting and it was present even ahead of the game. Srna has also been [pictured in restaurant with former Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-chelsea-mykhaylo-mudryk-transfer-25906702) and Eduardo Silva. The 20-year-old was once again in attendance, albeit seated elsewhere for the visit of Man City. Chelsea are said to be interested in making a move for Mykhaylo Mudryk, should Arsenal not be successful in their attempts. The Frenchman was sat next to co-owner and intermin-sporting director Todd Boehly. Silva firmly gestured to enforce his points as the team lined up, with Koulibaly equally emphasising his points. Following his performance against Nottingham Forest it would have been a surprise for many to see Kalidou Koulibaly make the cut against Manchester City. That goal was enough to separate the teams with Chelsea unable to breach Ederson's goal as they pushed for an equaliser late on. Man City found their quality in the second period and piled on pressure as

We welcome Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 8 January in the FA Cup third round, with the match kicking off at 16:30 (UK).

Chelsea travel to Manchester City this for the second of two meetings in four days between the clubs after City claimed a 1-0 Premier League win on Thursday ...

There was a lot to like. We took a step forward today.” Of the 173 games to date there have been 63 City wins, 71 for Chelsea and 39 draws. Chelsea's first win came in the return fixture on 04 Apr 1908, a 3-0 victory. We have three less points to play for. Because after Everton I was asked why I didn’t make a substitution until 81 minutes.

Kai Havertz adorned the matchday programme for Chelsea's Premier League clash with Manchester City on Thursday and it was a reminder of his famous winner in ...

Liverpool have not had the best recent record against Wolves in recent FA Cup meetings, and they will be only too aware that it takes one moment to knock a team out. Welcome to the FA Cup third round where the biggest of giant-killings can happen. The Toffees are in a spiral and Friday's FA Cup trip to Manchester United will not provide the board with welcome respite. Indeed, Wolves have eliminated Liverpool in five of their seven FA Cup ties, including two under Jurgen Klopp - doing so again in the 2018/19 season. He has reinvented himself at St James' Park and earned the adoration of the fans with the speed of the club's transformation. The FA Cup visit of League Two Stevenage could just be the perfect opportunity. He has not started a game since the 2-0 loss to Newcastle in May. And that makes Chelsea's task of trying to break their losing run against City in the FA Cup this Sunday all the more difficult. Perhaps Havertz can come up with a special moment to stun Man City once more, as he did in that Champions League final... They will have to keep Erling Haaland quiet again and bring their youthful energy and intensity in midfield once more - but Potter can't magic up a more clinical attack and that looks to be where Chelsea's progress could come unstuck again. A lot has changed since that night - and this week's defeat means Chelsea have now lost four on the spin to City without scoring since that final. Mason Mount had missed the fixture entirely after picking up a knock in training and while there is hope he could be back in time for the weekend, Graham Potter's options look limited in comparison with what Pep Guardiola can call upon.
