Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of Manchester City v Chelsea from the Etihad Stadium!

PENALTY CHELSEA!! He brings down Ba as the Chelsea man takes the ball past him!

Hazard goes for goal from the edge of the box. Fires towards the bottom-left corner but Hart is equal to it.

Silva exchanges passes with Yaya Toure down the left and crosses for Aguero, who attempts an overhead kick but sends the ball well wide.

Clichy delivers a pacy cross from the left... Rodwell attacks the ball but Mikel clears at the near post.

Second half under way! No personnel changes from either manager.

That's half-time, and Manchester City are being held to a goalless draw by Chelsea.

Ramires tries to dribble into the Chelsea box but he is ably dispossessed by Nastasic.

Two minutes of added time to be played before half-time.

The masked Ba takes on Milner down the Chelsea left, and the City man gets the better of him, winning a foul in the process. The City fans, who feel recent decisions have gone against them, erupt into ironic cheers.

Another booking - this time to Pablo Zabaleta for persistent fouling, Didn't look to bad to me, but there you go. Decent opportunity for Chelsea.

Rodwell hits a shot from long range, Cech tips it over! Cracking strike from the midfielder, though it might have been going over anyway.

Kolo Toure brings Mata down, and the Chelsea number 10 stays down injured. It's an unnecessary challenge and Toure is booked.

ZABALETA!! Hits a dropping ball on the volley - it's a powerful effort, bravely headed clear. Great strike.

The ball pings around the Chelsea box but City cannot force it goalwards.

The move breaks down and Marriner retrospectively books Ramires for the challenge. Toure is still limping - looks like he got a knock on the knee.

Yaya Toure rolls in an exaggerated fashion after being brought down but ref Andre Marriner plays advantage.

There is something of a lack of urgency now from both sides. Odd, since there is so much to be gained from winning this match.

Chelsea repel another City corner... the home side are solid but lack a certain cutting edge. Certainly room for the introduction of Tevez or Dzeko later on.

A chance for Rodwell as he tries to get on the end of a pacy Silva cross... headed clear.

An interesting half-hour - City well on top early, but Chelsea have grown into this game.

Jack Rodwell in the book - seemed a little harsh. He's axctually having a decent game, though.
