How to watch Man City vs Chelsea: The Premier League clubs are entering the Carabao Cup and City vs Chelsea is the plum tie. Here’s the best way to watch on TV and online or listen for free.
The big boys have joined the EFL Cup at the third-round stage and the draw has sprung up an all-Premier League clash to savour. Last year’s beaten finalists Chelsea travel to Premier League Champions Manchester City.
Chelsea are in a little early-season turmoil. The new American owners have sacked a Champions League winning manager, appointed a highly-rated young English manager, suffered some major defeats and the natives are getting restless.
However, what better way to get back on track than a win over a major rival to secure progress to the next round of the EFL Cup. We’re not how strong the teams Graham Potter and his City counterpart Pep Guardiola will select, making tonight’s battle all-the-more intriguing.
Both sides only have two games left before the World Cup break and have a few injury worries. For City, some relief comes through the return of England midfielder Kalvin Phillips. Whether Guardiola will risk Erling Harland won’t be known until an hour before kick-off.
Here’s how to watch Man City vs Chelsea on the best TV, best smartphone or best laptop you have in the house.
