Before Betting On Chelsea vs Man City Parlay Selections
The Todd Boehly era is yet to catch fire at Chelsea, despite the additions of over 40 new players during his short time in charge. There was finally a light at the end of the tunnel at the end of the previous campaign, as Mauricio Pochettino managed to guide the Blues to a respectable sixth-place finish. However, the Blues imploded earlier in the summer, leading to the Argentinean being replaced by Enzo Maresca.
The former Leicester boss’s introduction at Stamford Bridge has been unsettling for Chelsea fans, with the club shipping a lot of goals throughout pre-season. It also remains unclear whether Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Pedro Neto have the quality to play regularly at the highest level.
Man City’s historic 2023-24 season, which saw them win a fourth straight Premier League title, ultimately ended on a low point after losing in the FA Cup final against Man United. However, Pep Guardiola’s charge remains the team to beat in England this term, as they go in search of more history, and a fifth straight top-flight title in England.
City started the season by getting revenge on United last weekend, as they won a dramatic penalty shootout to claim the Community Shield for the first time since 2019. However, City will need to contend on all fronts without the influential Julian Alvarez this term after the striker was sold to Atletico Madrid earlier this week.

Chelsea vs Man City Parlay Picks
City will be without many of their international stars for this opening match, which at least offers the Blues a glimmer of hope of starting the campaign on a high note. However, the fact City are unbeaten in their last nine against Chelsea across all competitions ensures that they remain the standout pick.
Erling Haaland endured a subdued return to action in the Community Shield, meaning that there could be better value elsewhere in the market this weekend. Oscar Bobb could be handed a start after a lively performance last weekend, and he could be chanced to find the back of the net.
