Manchester City are favourites to claim a stunning fifth successive Premier League crown and they get their title defence underway today with a trip to Stamford Bridge.
While City have been the picture of stability under Pep Guardiola, Chelsea have been the kings of chaos since American Todd Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich in the boardroom.
There seems to have been a revolving door in the dressing room and Boehly is already on to his sixth manager, with Enzo Maresca taking over from Mauricio Pochettino in the summer.
Maresca would have wanted a kinder opening fixture than a visit from the champions but Chelsea did cause Manchester City problems last season and Guardiola's side were lucky to avoid defeat in last week's Community Shield.
