Champions League Final, Man City vs. Chelsea: Date, kick-off time, how to watch – CNET [CNET]

We’re days away from the biggest match in club football: The Champions League final. And this year it’s Man City vs. Chelsea in an all-English clash for all the marbles.  

Who will win? Based on current form, it’s hard to pick against Man City. In their last outing they ripped Everton to shreds in a 5-0 drubbing. But anything can happen in football and, since sacking Lampard and bringing in Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea have looked and played like a different team — a much better team. 

And here’s a crazy statistic: Chelsea have beaten Man City on the last four occasions. 

This should be a cracker of a final.
