    Chelsea

    So it is pretty much as you were at the top of the table. Both Chelsea and Manchester City are a point better off, but the gap remains five points. All very much still to play for.

    "Every player had to be at the top of his game, and most were right the way through both sides. It was a great Premier League game. Unfortunately it hasn't provided us with a definite result.

    "If Chelsea had won they would have been home and hosed in terms of the title. But a good performance from City, who have plenty of points left to target this season. The longer City keep on Chelsea's shirttails, the better as far as neutrals enjoying the remainder of the season.

    "A draw was, overall, a fair result."

    "This time Frank Lampard could not provide a late dramatic twist. A good game, not a great game, and not in the end I think a decisive outcome for the title race."

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on for only his second-ever Chelsea appearance as he replaces Oscar for the final few seconds. Can he make a late impact?

    "Jose Mourinho's decision to take off striker Loic Remy and send on defender Gary Cahill is a pretty clear reflection that Chelsea will now happily take this draw."

    "Manchester City are now really forcing the issue, and full marks to them. As this game draws to a close only one team is looking for the winner, and it isn't Chelsea."

    Another change for Manchester City, with striker Edin Dzeko coming on. Is Manuel Pellegrini boosting his firepower? No, it is fresh legs in attack as Dzeko replaces Sergio Aguero.

    Willian is slowly making his way off the pitch. He has an injury and can't continue so on comes Didier Drogba for the last 10 minutes. A Chelsea hero to grab the winner? But will it be Drogba or will it be Lampard?

    James Milner has dropped deeper, alongside Fernandinho. Frank Lampard has taken up an advanced role, behind Sergio Aguero. A fair number of Manchester City's chances have been pot shots from outside the area. Perfect, you would think, for Lampard.

    "Frank Lampard is on to a reception that is more applause than jeers - and a somewhat heated discussion breaks out among a small group of Chelsea fans with one supporter shouting at a dissenter: 'You've got a short memory.'"

    Frank Lampard does indeed come on, an unusual sight for the home fans as he trots onto the pitch in the light blue colour of Manchester City. A few boos, but not too many. Fernando is the man to make way.
