Manchester City: Samir Nasri replaces Sergio Aguero, and Joleon Lescott is on for David Silva.
89'
Matija Nastasic is down injured. He looks OK, but City are preparing to make some changes.
87'
That goal puts the Etihad Stadium into party mode. The title might be something of a distant hope at the moment, but this is a morale-boosting win that keeps their faint hopes alive.

GOAL!! Carlos Tevez makes it safe with a rasping shot from the edge of the box! He receives Silva's lay-off and powers the ball into the left corner. Fantastic strike.

Time running out for Chelsea - they have not had the necessary precision in their passing today, but is there a final flourish?
83'
Yaya Toure blazes a shot wide from 25 yards.
82'

Here's Fernando! Torres replaces John Obi Mikel as Benitez takes his final roll of the dice.
80'
Milner crosses from the right, but it's cut out and Moses tries to start a Chelsea break with a pass to Mata... too heavy, yet again.
78'
Chelsea attempt to ping it through City but Oscar's touch is too heavy. He's livened things up, but the accuracy is not there.
77'
John Terry looks very sad on the bench. Very, very sad. You almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
76'
Cole is brought down 40 yards from the City goal as the visitors try to conjure an equaliser.
75'
Crossed from the Chelsea left... the ball bobbles around a little inside the box before Hart claims.
74'
David Luiz brings the ball over halfway and gestures for his team-mates to give him options. Chelsea lacking fluency.
72'
City work the ball deftly around but the final ball to Milner goes out for a goal kick.
