Chelsea will be looking to make a bright start to the new campaign when they come up against reigning champions Man City in South London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"before-betting-on-chelsea-vs-man-city\">Before Betting on Chelsea vs Man City <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A new era gets underway at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the season, as Enzo Maresca takes charge of the Blues for the first time in a competitive fixture. Chelsea ended the previous season in excellent form under Mauricio Pochettino, and there was huge surprise when it was announced that the parties had agreed to part ways earlier in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There doesn&#8217;t appear to have been a straightforward change in direction for the Blues, as they have endured a poor run of results during pre-season. Chelsea have lost three of their last four, and have conceded ten goals across that period. The high-line that Maresca is hoping to play with is causing confusion, and it could be a likely concern against City on the opening weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man City will be chasing more history in the Premier League this term, as they have their sights set on winning a fifth straight title. Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side will be the front-runners to achieve that feat, and it has been business as usual for the club throughout the summer, despite the financial rule breaches that are still hanging over their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City are yet to make any moves in the summer window, but that could change before this opening match of the campaign following the departure of Julian Alvarez. City are unbeaten in their last nine matches against the Blues across all competitions, which includes victories on seven occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chelsea-vs-man-city-offshore-odds-picks\">Chelsea vs Man City Offshore Odds &amp; Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Match Result<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Chelsea<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+285<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draw<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+302<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Man City<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-118<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tough opening-day assignment for Maresca&#8217;s Chelsea, and we struggle to see them getting the better of City.
