Watch Chelsea vs Man City live streaming as the Blues host the rejuvenated Citizens on April 16, 2016 hoping to get back on their feet after a chastening defeat last weekend.
The last time both Manchester City and Chelsea finished out of the Premier League’s top three, Peter Schmeichel was enjoying a Premier League victory lap across town with his former club’s derby rivals and John Terry was a month away from his senior debut with England.
erry, who debuted with England in June 2003, is said to be targeting a May 2 return from Achilles and hamstring injuries. Chelsea finished fourth a month before that debut and second in 2003-04 before Jose Mourinho took over for 2004-05 and guided the Blues to their first top-flight title in 50 years.
Mourinho is now long gone from his second stint in west London, and it was his 2014 castoff Kevin De Bruyne who made this week’s headlines in English football. The Belgium international, who played sparingly for Mourinho in 2013-14 before moving to Wolfsburg and eventually City on a club-record deal prior to last season, scored in the 76th minute of Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League win over fellow nouveau spenders Paris Saint-Germain for his fourth goal in his last five matches in all competitions.
It sent City (17-6-9) through to their first semifinal on a 3-2 aggregate – the most significant benchmark for the club since ending their own title drought back in 2011-12, which was David Silva’s second year with the club.
