Man City vs Chelsea was already an intriguing fixture, but the Blues’ New Year sacking of Enzo Maresca has made it even more compelling.
Following his unusual post-match comments aimed at the board after the Everton game, it felt as though the Italian’s position as head coach was hanging by a thread. That tension came to a head in Tuesday’s 2–2 draw with Bournemouth, capping off a month of poor results, and just two days later he was relieved of his duties.
Chelsea must now quickly turn their attention to their next assignment, and few tests are tougher than a trip to the Etihad to face Man City. Under-21s coach Callum McFarlane is expected to take charge on an interim basis, while Moisés Caicedo will miss the match due to an accumulation of bookings.
For Man City, the objective will be to capitalise on Chelsea’s turmoil while keeping pace with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s side were held to a 0–0 draw by Sunderland on Thursday and now sit four points behind the Gunners. Victory is not only expected but essential, and the likely return of Jérémy Doku to the starting XI should provide fresh impetus.
