    Man City 1-0 Cardiff

    Gabriel Jesus is close to another tap-in and then Joe Bennett is booked for tripping Danilo. City could be three up already, and Leroy Sane has lined up a free-kick...

    Nothing much to report yet from Stamford Bridge. Sarri ball at its best.

    It's their third chance in three or four minutes. Kevin de Bruyne doesn't even look at the target he just flashes it towards goal and it ends up in the top corner. He knows exactly what he is doing and it's an exceptional finish from that angle.

    Pepe: I thought Cardiff were still wearing training bibs. By the way they started seems they were still in training mode!

    Jim: All very good and wonderful apart from the the glory song? All the best Spurs, hope Palace beat you, love a Gooner.

    Fluke or fine finish?! I think that's a bit of luck but it's been coming since kick-off! Kevin de Bruyne is played into the area on the left hand side, he looks to flash over a cross - I think - and it turns into a shot, flying into the roof of the net. Consider the floodgates ajar.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 19:50 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    Man City 0-0 Cardiff

    This could be a cricket score, Manchester City are all over the visitors. Riyad Mahrez hits a low shot which is deflected and Neil Etheridge makes a very strong save low to his right and Leroy Sane can't get there to turn it home.

    Who will score the first goal inside this arena? It's nearly Jeffrey Schlupp, who bursts though and batters a shot over. That is not in the script.

    No early fireworks at the Bridge just yet. Chelsea could move into the top four tonight.

    Fabulous start by Man City. It's a brilliant ball slid across the six yard box but Gabriel Jesus couldn't quite make it.

    Son dances into the area and wins a first corner for Tottenham. He whips up the crowd, not that they really need any extra encouragement. Dele Alli is then close to putting a header in.

    How they start today is critical. If they get it right and win, this is the launchpad to collect the points they need to secure a top four finish.

    Man City 0-0 Cardiff

    Away we go in the Premier League - and City nearly score after about 10 seconds but Gabriel Jesus can't quite reach Kevin de Bruyne's low cross!

    It is quietly emotional, especially if you have been involved in the club and its history. The farewell at the old White Hart Lane was special but this event is better. This is the start of something new.

    Manchester City are paying tribute to their legendary and long-serving former club secretary and Life President Bernard Halford tonight.

    Halford, who passed away last week at the age of 77, spent almost half a century at the club.

    He is on the front of tonight's programme and manager Pep Guardiola pays tribute to him in his programme notes, saying: "People like Bernard are the lifeblood of any business. He was someone who devoted his whole life to Manchester City."

    There will be a crowd surfer flag released in the East Stand as the players walk out, the players will wear black armbands and there will be a minute's applause in Halford's memory before kick-off.
