Stamford Bridge, London — The 2024-25 Premier League season is officially under way for the title-holding Manchester City, who kicked off against Chelsea at 20:00 BST under the watch of referee Chris Kavanagh. Both squads emerged to a roar from a capacity crowd, but after the first whistle it was the visitors who took first possession, immediately setting the tempo for their anticipated title defence.

Scoreless through the opening exchanges, the encounter remains finely poised, with City looking to lay down an early marker and Chelsea aiming to derail the champions’ ambitions on home soil. Updates will follow as the action unfolds.

Elsewhere in the evening’s top-flight fixtures, Crystal Palace produced a dramatic comeback to defeat Newcastle United 2-1.
