    Fabian Delph hoofs the ball up in the air. Kyle Walker takes it into the corner.

    And that is that!

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Man City clear, and then N'Golo Kante fouls his marker. All with City now. And they will a change. Slowly.

    Right-back Danilo is coming on for brilliant match-winner Kevin de Bruyne.

    Willian jinks into space on the edge, feeds Cesar Azpilicueta whose cross is put behind. Corner.

    Pedro is offside. Not a great one. He should have had a look along the line.

    THREE minutes of added time to play...

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Nicolas Otamendi goes right through Willian, poor challenge, gets himself a yellow card. And gives away a dangerous free-kick...

    Cesc Fabregas delivers, Andreas Christensen connects, but his header is always rising high up towards the lights and the rain.

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Willian gives the ball away. Lets it run with a heavy touch. Antonio Rudiger has to lever Gabriel Jesus out to deny the Brazilian space to cross when the Chelsea team want to be making City work down the other end.

    Ederson roars out of his goal to coolly collect another long ball under pressure.

    TWO minutes to play...

    Marcos Alonso heads behind for a corner. It's not looking like miraculous comeback time, to be honest. City have been so good.

    Richard: #CFC trying to play through the #MCFC press. That's never going to work. Need to go over it. Morata going off hurts that plan.

  12. CLOSE!published at 85 mins

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Chelsea just cannot get the ball back. They are running out of time to find what would be an undeserved leveller.

    City sweep forward again. Raheem Sterling picks out Gabriel Jesus with a peach of a pass, Jesus, Gareth Bale-like, connects with a fierce volley that he makes look so easy, but Antonio Rudiger diverts away from goal, on the line, just about keeping his side in it.

    Five to go....

    Leroy Sane is trundling off now, he'll be replaced by Ilkay Gundogan. Again, not a bad option from the bench...

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Marcos Alonso is beaten to another cross-field pass by Kyle Walker, the sweat streaming down his brow.

    City can break now, Leroy Sane running out of gas slightly as Antonio Rudiger recovers to poke home to his keeper.

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Everything is quick now. Antonio Conte's movements on the sidelines dictate it must be this way. But Manchester City will not be hurried, they ease Chelsea out of possession and are very happy to see out as much of the remaining nine minutes by sharing the ball among themselves. Conte shouts for more, more, more.

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Great claim from Ederson to snatch Cesar Azpilicueta's ball across goal when the Spaniard perhaps had more time to pick his destination.

    Then, there are huge shouts from the home side that the keeper left his area as he got rid of the ball on the throw. We'll have to have a look at that one later...

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Cesc Fabregas and Willan and Michy Batshuayi combine with some brilliant one-touch passing - the first time we've seen that in blue all evening.

    Marcos Alonso drives into the box and Pedro looks to flick back to a runner with a cheeky heel, but there's no-one on the same wavelength.

    Chelsea's best move of the game, with just under 10 minutes to play...

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Time is running out for Chelsea. Fifteen to play as Cesar Azpilicueta drills a cross into the near stick, Nicolas Otamendi is there again with an acrobatic clearance.

    David Silva comes off for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva is on in his place. A like-for-like. Talk about strength in depth.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    That is a brilliant interception from N'Golo Kante to cut out David Silva's silky low pass in the box, with Raheem Sterling's ankles already whirling through the air in anticipation.

    Here come the Chelsea changes. Pedro is coming on, and Eden Hazard - poor today - is coming off.

    Michy Batshuayi takes Tiemoue Bakayoko's place. A striker for a midfielder now. But should Batshuayi have come on for Alvaro Morata earlier?

  20. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Chelsea 0-1 Man City

    Michy Batshuayi is getting ready to come for Chelsea. They need a big turnaround from what we have seen from them so far this evening.
