Man City vs Chelsea live stream: How to watch Premier League game online

Man City can clinch the Premier League title with a win over a struggling Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. It’s one of the biggest games of the season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Man City are on the verge of winning their third straight Premier League title, and their fifth in six years. After a dramatic title race with Arsenal, Pep Guardolia’s men appear to have come out on top barring a practically unthinkable last-minute collapse. City are eyeing up a historic treble and the Premier League trophy would be the first of three they are hoping to win over the next few weeks. 

The reigning PL champions are currently enjoying a 23-game unbeaten streak across all competitions with their most recent match being a 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final. This victory has secured their route to the CL final in Istanbul where they will face Italian side Inter Milan. 

The game was a clear testament to the strength of this world-class side. Talismanic players Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland were far from at their best and yet Man City still dismantled the Spanish giants with ease. Even with the team's best players having an off-day, Man City boasts so much quality in every single department that it barely matters. They’re a seemingly unstoppable football-match-winning machine. 

With three games left of their Premier League season, and just a single win needed to secure first place, Man City lifting the trophy is really a matter of when not if. Hoping to delay the celebrations until a later date will be Chelsea, who have endured a torrid season and are now mathematically confirmed to be finishing outside of the PL top 10, an unacceptable result for a club of Chelsea’s stature and reputation. 

Under the watch of interim manager and club legend Frank Lampard, Chelsea have been utterly abysmal and the latest humiliation came in the form of a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest. The underfire squad may want to finish the season on a high note, but there’s no doubt that this is far from the vintage Chelsea sides of previous years that would strike fear into the heart of the opposition.

The Man City vs Chelsea live stream will be a chance to watch this remarkable City team at their very best, and you might just get to watch a trophy lift as well. It’s one of the most important Premier League matches of the season and we’ll show you how to watch it online from anywhere down below.

How to watch the Man City vs Chelsea live stream wherever you are

The Man City vs Chelsea live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Paramount Plus or another service and watch the game.
