The Premier League returns this weekend following the final international break of the season and Emirates FA Cup Quarter-Final action, as City head to the capital to take on Liam Rosenior's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Last time out in the Premier League
City took on relegation threatened West Ham at the London Stadium last month as they looked to keep up the pressure on leaders Arsenal in the title race.
Captain, Bernardo Silva gave the visitors the lead in the 31st minute, after a cross-come-shot from the left ended up chipping the ball over Mads Hermansen who was left dumbfounded.
Frustratingly from a City perspective, their lead was short lived just four minutes later, as a Jarrod Bowen pinpoint corner was headed home by defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.
The Cityzens had a staggering twenty-four shots on goal, compared to West Ham's one as they lost ground on the title race and gave initiative back to the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Chelsea also found themselves on the road as they experienced the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time, and were sent crashing to a 3-0 defeat thanks to a brace from Beto and a Iliman Ndiaye strike.
City have the edge over Sunday opponents in recent memory
The 1-1 draw at the Etihad back in January when Enzo Fernandez's stoppage-time equaliser cancelled out Tijjani Reijnders's 42nd-minute opener meant that City haven't lost against Chelsea in their last twelve encounters in all competitions, a run stretching back almost five years.
Historical dominance over Chelsea
You'll have to go back to the 2021 Champions League final in Porto since City last tasted defeat to the West London club as Kai Havertz's 42nd-minute winner sealed the Blues second Champions League trophy.
Stamford Bridge has been a place where City have thrived in recent years, winning four out of their last five visits there.
It's been nearly six years since the Cityzens has left Stamford Bridge empty handed, following a 2-1 defeat back in June, 2020 then-manager Frank Lampard's Chelsea.
Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 36th minute for the hosts with a right footed effort to give City work to do at the break. Kevin De Bruyne scored ten minutes after the restart from a free-kick to earn his 10th goal of the season and put the visitors back on level terms, but in the 78th minute the hosts were awarded a penalty kick, after Fernandinho was judged to handle the ball in the box, and Willian made no mistake from twelve yards to earn Chelsea the three points.
Can City keep their extraordinary run against Chelsea going on Sunday or will the hosts further dent City's title hopes and help their bitter rivals Arsenal steamroll to the Premier League title?
