It feels like an eternity since we last saw any Premier League action. The world's best league returns this weekend with a full schedule, and the pick of the action is this clash on Sunday lunchtime as newly crowned EFL Cup Champions, Manchester City, visit Stamford Bridge to face off against Chelsea. It was announced this midweek that the English Premier League will, once again, receive five UEFA Champions League berths from this season's final positions. It re-incentivizes Chelsea, who, after some patchy form, find themselves as one of two teams likely vying to finish in that fifth spot in the league table. The other - last season's champions, Liverpool. Points on the board are really of the essence this late in the season. There are only seven games to go! Visitors, City, have been in stronger momentum with three wins and two draws in their last five. They're 9 points behind leaders Arsenal, though City has 10 games to go. With the Gunners being unfamiliar with finishing strongly and winning titles, and City being the opposite, the Cityzens are probably the worst team to have breathing down your neck at the top. Like Chelsea, though, City cannot afford to drop any points between now and the end of the season to stand any chance of winning yet another title. This clash is the 182nd competitive meeting between the two contenders. Chelsea won 71 of them, City took the spoils in 68 of them, and 42 finished level. We'll be meeting from 11 am at Hawk & Griffin to see which team can muster the mental focus needed to achieve their targets this season - Join Us!
