If this had been the only game yesterday, I'd say the BBC could actually have cancelled Match of the Day.

This was travelling at some rate of knots.

Allan Saint-Maximin shifts the ball onto his right peg and lashes a rising drive just over.

Would have broken the net if it went in.

Adama Traore replaces Daniel Podence for Wolves.

Chelsea's best chance of the game. Their only chance of the game. Marcos Alonso plays a through to Christian Pulisic, who glides past a defender but his shot is denied by Jose Sa's arm.

Ederson hasn't had much to do today and pulls out a superb stop, flinging out a strong left hand to push Callum Wilson's thumping header over the crossbar.

Fantasy Football managers breathe a sigh of relief as City preserve a clean sheet.

Mason Mount finds N'Golo Kante in the box. Is this the moment? Nope. Romain Saiss blocks the Chelsea midfielder's shot.

Jeff Hendrick on for Miguel Almiron with 10 minutes left.

Newcastle fans are chanting, "we're richer than you" to the Manchester City ones.

That'll help when they're down in the Championship next season.

Wolves try a break but they don't have the pace up front. Speaking of that, Adama Traore is waarming up.

This game is petering away.

City have happy with what they have got, Newcastle are happy not to be conceding any more.

Reece James whips in a free-kick and Mason Mount's half-volley is blocked.

They win a corner but there's an offside after Mount plays a one-two from it. Free out.

A final City change.

Riyad Mahrez is replaced by teenager Cole Palmer.

Conor Coady puts Reece James' cross behind before Christian Pulisic can pounce.

Steve Cook: 1st time I've watched Man City live this season and you have to say they have been brilliant. I know its Newcastle but even so.

Zahi: Longstaff deserves some game time. If nothing else at least for the way he’s sporting that moustache.

Tottenham have not played in two weeks and Antonio Conte has named a completely different midfield on their return, with Dele Alli starting his first Premier League game since the Italian's arrival.

Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Winks also start. Emerson Royal returns following illness, while Ryan Sessegnon starts at left wing-back with Sergio Reguilon deemed fit enough for the bench.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Royal, Sessegnon, Winks, Alli, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

Tyler Morton is the surprise starter for Liverpool, who make three changes to the side that beat Newcastle in midweek. He is joined in midfield by James Milner and Naby Keita.

Jordan Henderson and Thiago drop out of the squad completely, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is named on the bench.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Matip, Robertson, Milner, Morton, Keita, Salah, Jota, Mane.

There hasn't been a single shot in the second half.

Chelsea have only had three shots all game, all blocked.

I want to cry, this is so bad.

Chelsea win their first corner of the second half. Can somebody do something? Not really. Jose Sa punches it well away.

Manchester City have scored 105 goals in the Premier League in 2021; their most in a single calendar year while playing in the top-flight (previously 104 in 1929).

Game management from Pep Guardiola.

Off comes Ruben Dias with England international John Stones taking his place.

Not a bad sub to bring on.

Jose Sa catches Reece James' cross. I let out an audible sigh as I think about how dull this game is.
