Chelsea lost their last home match in the Premier League, with Newcastle United beating them 1-0 before the March international break.
Donnarumma, though, has claimed that going to Stamford Bridge is always tough in a warning to his teammates.
In an interview that has been shared by City’s official club website, the goalkeeper said: “It’s always going to be a complicated game [at Chelsea]. It will be a difficult game because going there to play is never easy.”
The last time City travelled to the Bridge, they beat Chelsea 2-0. That was Enzo Maresca’s first league game in charge of the Blues, and they actually managed to put in a good performance despite the final scoreline.
Romeo Lavia was excellent against City that day and could make a positive impact again if given the opportunity on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea’s home record this season
In the past, Stamford Bridge has been a fortress. Right now, though, Donnarumma really does not need to be too fearful.
As per WhoScored, Chelsea are only 12th in the Premier League table for home form. From the 15 games that the Club World Cup winners have played so far, they have won just six matches. In total, Chelsea have amassed 23 points at home.
Their away form has been better. The Conference League holders are actually second in the Premier League table with 25 points. Away from home, they have won seven games, drawn four and lost five.
One of those draws came against City at the Etihad. Based on the above, maybe it would be better if they were playing there instead.
