Chelsea v Manchester City Odds: Erling Haaland 5/1 to score two or more goals

Enzo Maresca's reign as Chelsea manager will begin with a visit from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have made a raft of new signings in the off-season as they bid to improve on a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last term, whilst Man City head into this match below full strength with a number of key players only recently returning to training following their Euros exertions.

Rodri, Phil Foden and Kyle Walker are not expected to start in London which may give the home side confidence they can get a positive result to start the Maresca era in style.

Chelsea v Man City Odds

(Odds will display when market is available).

Both Chelsea and Man City will line up with a plethora of attacking talent in what should be an entertaining affair at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are buoyed by the availability of Christopher Nkunku after the Frenchman endured an injury-ravaged first campaign at the club, with the ex-RB Leipzig forward priced at 15/2 to break the deadlock against Man City.

In spite of the absence of key figures such as midfield lynchpin Rodri, Man City should still have enough quality in their ranks to come away with three points against a new-look Chelsea side, with the Citizens given odds of 21/10 to be leading the match at both half-time and full-time.

Benefiting from a full pre-season having not participated in the Euros over the summer, Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland could play a crucial role in City's opening Premier League match and is priced at 5/1 to score two or more goals.
