At 20:30 Beijing time on January 15 (12:30 noon UK local time on January 15), the 22nd round of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Manchester City hosted Chelsea. The starting and substitute lists of both sides are announced before the match.
Manchester City previously won 11 consecutive Premier League games and led the way with a 10-point advantage in the table. Chelsea's last 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool was their fourth draw in their last five Premier League games and they were provisionally placed in second place before the game. In this Premier League battle of King's Hill, Manchester City is looking forward to the arrival of 12 consecutive wins and continues to expand the leading edge. Chelsea, on the other hand, are eager to topple the lead and bite the points to preserve the suspense of the Premier League title.
