BBC Sport at the City Ground

A chant of 'Neco, Neco' has just rung round the City Ground.

That was an awful looking collision and, quite rightly, the medical staff are taking all the time they need to treat the Nottingham Forest player.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tries a bicycle-kick but basically air-kicks it. He hasn't scored since three in a row in October.

Seconds after that Brighton chance, there is an almighty scramble in the visitors' six-yard box and Jason Steele bravely dives on the ball with Forest's Neco Williams challenging.

Williams comes off worse and it looks like a serious injury for the Wales international.

Fingers crossed it isn't. Worrying scenes as there is a long delay.

This game and the title race is firmly weighted in City's favour now.

Kevin de Bruyne's fine finish and VAR's intervention to rightly award John Stones' header means they are two points behind the Gunners as it stands with two games in hand.

The Gunners have to dig deep and find something special if they are to wrestle back the initiative.

I thought it was offside the first time I saw it but I didn't that yellow boot dangling out.

It's a great header from John Stones and Aaron Ramsdale, who has done everything possible in this game, can't keep it out this time.

It's kicking off now!

Both sets of players are in a big shoving, pushing group. The incident that sparks it is a Ben White shove on Ruben Dias, a little kick from the Arsenal defender and then what looks to be a flicked out boot from the City man.

Both players gets booked. VAR has a look to see if Dias' flick deserves more. It decides not.

N'Golo Kante gathers a loose ball in the box and hammers a shot just wide. Chelsea on the front foot.

Could have been two for Brighton. Should have been two.

A quick counter from the visitors sees Facundo Buonanotte tee up Kaoru Mitoma, who opens up his body and aims for inside the far post.

Not enough conviction or curl.

The second half is under way at the old Olympic Stadium too.

Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen clatters Trevoh Chalobah a couple of seconds after kick-off and gets booked.

Under way in the second half.

Man City 1-0 Arsenal

Has Ben White's boot played John Stones onside? This is going to be close...

Chelsea bring on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for only his second appearance since February. Mykhailo Mudryk is also coming on.

Conor Gallagher and own goalscorer Cesar Azpilicueta are off.

City have the ball in the net again, but the flag is up for offside.

John Stones moved a fraction too early to meet a chipped free-kick into the box. It's a fine header but it won't count.

Or will it?

The home fans are really getting behind their team.

They know how important a victory tonight could be.

They have stayed behind Forest all season and there is no sign of that changing now.

It feels like Arsenal are on the ropes. It feels like they are taking punch after punch. City will be hoping they don't rue these missed chances.

Bukayo Saka delivers the Arsenal corner but Ederson is there to punch away.
