Alvarez opens the scoring for Man City

Live Man City and Chelsea in round 37 of the 2022-2023 Premier League season taking place at 10:00 p.m. on May 21, at Etihad Stadium.

With Arsenal losing 0-1 to Nottingham Forest, Man City has officially defended the Premier League title with 85 points, 4 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, and has played 2 games less. Therefore, the match between Man City and Chelsea is just a formality for the Etihad Stadium team. Man City still has the FA Cup final against MU and the Champions League final against Inter Milan. With Chelsea in poor form, Man City aims for victory to give to their fans and pay back their past debt to their opponents.

Minute 36: From a favorable cross from his teammate, player Gallagher (Chelsea) rushed in and headed the ball into Man City's post.
