Manchester City v Chelsea live stream, Sky Sports, Saturday 8 May, 5.30pm BST
Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions on Saturday if they beat Chelsea in a dress rehearsal of the Champions League final.
Pep Guardiola’s side will be mathematically assured of the title with three games to spare with victory at the Etihad, but the Blues need points to hang on to a top four spot.
Both teams have enjoyed memorable weeks; City beat PSG 2-0 on Tuesday to secure a place in their first-ever Champions League final.
Chelsea then defeated Real Madrid by the same scoreline a day later to set up an all-English affair and continue Thomas Tuchel’s impressive work as Stamford Bridge boss.
Both teams are in good form. City have won five in a row in all competitions, their last defeat coming against Chelsea in the FA Cup on 17 April.
Tuchel’s side are unbeaten in their last six outings in all competitions, conceding just one goal in that time.
The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League standings, three points clear of West Ham below them with four games remaining.
John Stones is suspended for City and Eric Garcia has been ruled out with illness, while Chelsea will be without injured midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Manchester City v Chelsea live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
