Manchester City began their 2024/25 Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea, with goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic. Pundit Chris Sutton believes that City’s dominant performance against Chelsea signals trouble for other top sides like Arsenal and Liverpool who are hoping to challenge for the title this season. Despite not dominating possession or shots on goal against Chelsea, City earned a team rating of 7.33/10 compared to Chelsea’s 6.74/10, showing a strong overall performance that pleased manager Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola praised Rico Lewis for his performance against Chelsea and will be looking to maintain the team’s high levels consistently throughout the season.
