    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Lewis Hall does well to halt Riyad Mahrez's progress on the right.

    It's attack versus defence.

    Chelsea need to get on the front foot.

    Frank Lampard isn't going to be here next season so he has nothing to lose. He should be asking them to go and engage.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Phil Foden is enjoying plenty of time on the ball in midfield, with Chelsea unwilling to engage.

    England boss Gareth Southgate is watching on from the stands today.

    Chelsea are trying to play out from the back but they are not Manchester City and they aren't comfortable.

    That's how Frank Lampard wants them to play but only Thiago Silva looks happy trying to start those moves off.

    Jamie Jennrich: The sooner Lampard is gone the better, his team set ups are severely questionable, also the team look devoid of instructions, what is he doing all week, absolutely ridiculous.

    Koko B Ware: Chelsea were already a mess but Frank has undeniably made them worse, how can your idea on how to organise a defence be to just drop almost all of your attacking players.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    City build patiently, with all 11 of Chelsea's players behind the ball.

    They go back first to spring forward, Phil Foden swivelling in midfield to set his side away.

    Cole Palmer shoots, but it's deflected away from goal.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Frank Lampard is deep in discussion, trying to work out a route into this match.

    It's hard to see one right now with City in this mood.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    City had 70% possession in the first 15 minutes, but it felt like more.

    Chelsea have the ball in defence but they're immediately under pressure and it's never long before City hunt them down and win the ball back.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    That's very late from Kai Havertz, taking out Kalvin Phillips in the centre of the pitch.

    VAR might want to check it. Not a good challenge at all - but it stays a yellow.

    Concern on Frank Lampard's face.

    This is shaping up to be a very long afternoon.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Etihad Stadium

    Manchester City are at it again. Chelsea are very passive so far, almost as if they have no desire to spoil the party. They have certainly entered into the spirit if some of their early work is anything to go by.

    They are at sixes and sevens - and that might be the scoreline if this carries on.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea don't really know what to do here. They're completely second best across the pitch despite all the Manchester City changes.

    Cole Palmer is really enjoying himself on the left flank, but Chelsea manage to scramble his ball into the box clear.

    It's a very good goal but Chelsea are all over the place at the back.

    Once Alvarez gets into that position he just doesn't miss.

    Julian Alvarez

    Julian Alvarez gets the party started at the Etihad!

    Chelsea lose possession and Alvarez loses his man, with his run into the box picked out by Cole Palmer.

    It was a matter of time.

    That Manchester City bench today really is quite ridiculous.

    While I appreciate Grealish cost £100 million, recent business by City has been sharp and clever. Look at Haaland, Alvarez and Akanji. All 3 cost less than £80m.

    Tom, Cheshire.

    City's bench is ridiculous. That team alone would finish in the top 4, with just those 9 players!

    Man City 0-0 Chelsea

    Kyle Walker clatters into Enzo Fernandez to beat the Chelsea midfielder to a loose pass.

    Walker gets the ball first but follows through and it's a nasty one for Fernandez. Play goes on, though.

    The City pressure continues. Conor Gallagher gets in the way of a Riyad Mahrez cross and concedes a corner, following which Phil Foden drills a low left-footed shot wide of goal from distance. Worth a pop.
