The first meeting between City and Chelsea at Hyde Road.

Chelsea were barely two years old when they first visited Hyde Road; a fixture with no weight yet, and a lifetime of it still to come.
Manchester City and Chelsea first faced each other in the First Division during the 1907-08 season. City were playing at Hyde Road, their home since 1887, while Chelsea were still a young club, founded just two years earlier in 1905. Both sides were establishing themselves in the top flight, and the fixture carried little of the weight it would later acquire.
