Chelsea vs. Manchester City: A Rivalry Like No Other


The Chelsea and Manchester City rivalry is one of the biggest in the English Premier League. This match-up always promises excitement, with both teams fighting for victory every time they face each other. In this article, we will take a look at why these two sides battle it out when they meet on the pitch. 



History of the Match-Up: 

The first meeting between Chelsea and Man City was back in 1908 during their early days as amateur clubs before either team turned professional. Over 100 years later, much has changed but the intensity of their clashes remain unchanged to date. They have met over 110 times since then with Chelsea winning 41 encounters compared to Man City's 44 victories (25 draws). This speaks volumes about how thrilling this fixture can be whenever these teams play against each other!  


Notable Fixtures Between Teams: 

Some notable fixtures include Man City's dramatic win after coming back from 0-2 down against ‘The Blues’ to get all three points; or when Man C edged past Chelsea 4-3 in 2015 thanks to Sergio Aguero's last gasp winner which earned him legendary status amongst MCFC supporters worldwide! Then there was also that memorable penalty shootout lossstreak suffered by The Citizens earlier last year which had them knocked out yet again courtesy of Jorginho's spot kick conversion rate leading up until 2021/22 season commencements – marvelous stuff indeed from those wearing Blue should never go unnoticed or underestimated whatsoever... regardless of who they are playing against!
