Where will Manchester City – Chelsea be played?
It is Manchester City which receives the Chelsea Blues in its lair. The game will therefore be played on the side of the Etihad Stadium. An enclosure that will, without a doubt, receive its players as it should. Because yes, Erling Haaland and his partners are officially Premier League champions since the setback conceded by Arsenal this Saturday at Nottingham Forest (1-0). THE Sky Blues are on their way to an incredible treble: Champions League final against Inter and FA Cup final against Manchester United.
Who will referee the game?
It will be the illustrious Michael Oliver who will hold the whistle during this XXL shock. A shock on paper since Chelsea points to a sad and dismal 12th position in the standings. It will also be the pass of three for Michael Oliver, he who has already refereed Pep Guardiola’s men in the last two matches confirming the Premier League title for City.
What channel will it be broadcast on?

Pre-match statements
“The hardest part is yet to come. Tennis players who play at Wimbledon say the hardest part is serving for the win. The Premier League is the most important competition, as it takes place over ten or eleven months, every week. There are a lot of emotions. »
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola at a pre-match press conference
“I have a lot of respect for Erling Haaland as a player. He’s a player I tried to bring to Chelsea the first time I was here, and I was really keen to bring him. Obviously it couldn’t be done, but his level at that time was also very clear. So respect to him, I like to see players of this level, I like to see players with this personality and this hunger to play in order to be the best, which he has proven. »

What are the probable compositions of this Manchester City – Chelsea?
According to the latest trends, Pep Guardiola should bet on a particularly attacking starting lineup. Ryad Mahrez should notably find a starting place on the front of the attack. He will be accompanied by Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne. Enough to make sparks against a most feverish Chelsea team. Frank Lampard will align his team in 3 – 4 – 3. Note the probable tenure of the tricolors Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile in defense. The two young centrals will be supervised by the experienced Thiago Silva. Up front, Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix and Noni Madueke will have the difficult task of bending Manchester City’s rearguard.
Le XI probable de Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Dias, Aké – Rodri, Stones – Greelish, De Bruyne, Gündogan, Mahrez – Haaland
Chelsea’s probable XI: Kepa – Fofana, Thiago Silva, Badiashile – Loftus-Cheek, Enzo Fernandez, Kovacic, Hall – Madueke, Sterling, Felix
