Manchester City and Chelsea are playing on the English Premier League schedule on Sunday in the late match and the game starts at 11 am ET and is streaming from the NBC Sports Live Extra website and it is from the Etihad Stadium as Jose Mourinho tries to get the Blues their first victory of the season while Raheem Sterling continues his start for Man City.
Man City may be with Yaya Toure in the matchup and he will be off with a groin issue after getting substituted in the first game at West Brom. The team opens up at home and Chelsea will have Thibaut Courtois out with a one match ban and now new signing Asmir Begovic will take over with Petr Cech gone. Oscar is likely going to be out after dealing with an injury in training.
Chelsea won the title last season and they started off with a draw against Swansea and this comes after the great stretch they opened on last year. Chelsea was dealing with a situation after the match with Mourinho's issue with the team medics and they will try and get over that after finishing men down last time out. Mourinho said to the media that he was not worried about the performance of his team in the draw and that there is a long way to go this season.
Chelsea has not lost in their last 27 games on a Sunday according to the BBC and funny enough, the last one came against Man City two years ago. Chelsea has only won once over their last seven matches overall at the Etihad, but Chelsea has not lost against Man City the last four times out, drawing twice and winning twice. Man City comes in having won seven in a row at home and something will have to give on Sunday for the teams.
Chelsea has not lost a match in August since back in 2006 and if they can't pull out the victory, the team will at least try to get the draw and a point. Chelsea has not gone their first two games of the EPL season without at least one win since back in the 90s. Coming up the team has Man City and then West Brom, Crystal Palace, Everton, Arsenal and Newcastle coming up next.
