LONDON : Predicting what to expect from Manchester City as the new Premier League season kicks off is simple but figuring out the jigsaw puzzle that is their opening opponents Chelsea has left fans and pundits scratching their heads.

The list of players signed since owners Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly took charge of Chelsea in the middle of 2022 now stands at around 40 with a total spend of some 1.3 billion euros . "It is a complete guess but I am going to be wild and say Chelsea will sneak in, in fourth place," former Chelsea player and now BBC pundit Pat Nevin told the BBC."If you take last season as a whole, it could be anything again this time."
The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 4-4 draw in November. Chelsea's next game was a 4-1 loss at Newcastle United - results that summed up their unpredictability. While United will be targeting the top four, Arsenal are widely expected to be City's main threat again, having pushed them close in 2022-23 and even closer last season.
