CITIZENS v PENSIONERS-ALL THE NINES

Just watched Chelsea undo Manchester City in an FA Cup Semi-Final 2021 and it's a bit of a shock to the Citizens and supporters who expected to do the "Quadruple" this season. Covid strikes again?

The first time the two clubs met was in 1907 (7th Dec) in a Division 1 game which ended 2-2. Overall the two have this record: Chelsea won 69  Drawn 39 City won 59.

  

Mostly they have met in Division One or Premier League.                         

They met each other in the Second Division between 1926-28.                          

They had a run in Div 2 1983-4 and again in 1988-9 and since September 1992 they have come across one another in the Premier League.

There was also a UEFA Cup Winners' Two Legged Cup tie in 1971 (home Chelsea won 1-0: away Chelsea won 0-1). 

There have been flirtations in the Full Members Cup 1986 Chelsea 5-4 MCity, created after the Heysel Disaster when English clubs were banned from European football competitions. AND and in the Simod Cup 1987 MCity 0-2 Chelsea (a similar created cup competition sponsored by Simod, an Italian Sportsware company. AND....... the Football League Cup 1984 Chelsea 4 v 1 MCity and in 1993 MCity 1 v 0 Chelsea.

And finally in the Community Shield 2012 Chelsea 2 v 3 MCity and again in 2018 Chelsea 0-2 MCity.
