Manchester City
After a trophyless season and rumours hinting that Pellegrini’s time at Etihad Stadium was over, Manchester City opened the season in a great way, by making a convincing performance and securing a well earned victory against West Brom, once again meaning that the players still trust on Manuel Pellegrini.

Chelsea
It’s a different story for Chelsea as they did not start well their road on defending the Premier League title.The Blues draw 2-2 against Swansea last week where their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois were sent off on the second half. But despite that , the most talked topic after the match was Mourinho’s criticism over Eva Carneiro , which have been sacked this week from Chelsea’s medical staff.
Despite being considered as underdogs for this match, Jose Mourinho remains confidient that his side will return with 3 points on London.The Portuguese have a very positive record against Manuel Pellegrini as he has won 7 matches and lost only 3.
