The Premier League giants' pre-season friendlies continue with Manchester City meeting Chelsea. Manchester City have lost their previous three pre-season games, losing to Celtic, AC Milan and Barcelona. This game against Chelsea will be followed by Manchester City's Community Shield clash with Manchester United. Chelsea have won one, drawn one and lost one of their first three friendlies, beating the Americas 3-0 in their last game. The biggest attraction of this game is the return of Enzo, who forms a front-court attacking group with Mykhailo Mudryk, as well as new signings Hall and Nkunku. On Manchester City's side, Haaland burst forward, but the vast majority of the squad behind him was not the main force of last season.

At half-time, Manchester City temporarily led 2-0; Yibian fought again, Manchester City still controlled the advantage on the field, although it was not the full main lineup, but the overall cooperation was still smooth, and the offensive promotion was very orderly.
