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

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

Frank Lampard takes it, has a shot, and boots the ball comically into the crowd. Why haven't they given him a new contact?

Another free-kick for Chelsea - nearly 40 yards out but David Luiz looks like he fancies a shot....

Chelsea free-kick on the left, just inside City territory... really poor delivery again from Mata, headed clear.

Cahill is well forward inside the City box... Chelsea lose it and the ball is worked forward on the break... and it ends up back with the away team. Scrappy.

Ramires crosses from the right... headed away, but nice for Chelsea to get the ball forward.

Infostrada with a depressing stat: Roberto Mancini has drawn both of the two previous PL matches against teams managed by Rafael Benitez 0-0.

Man City continue to apply pressure, with Clichy well forward down the left, now. The home side well on top. Chelsea yet to register an attempt on goal.

Rodwell thumps into Ramires - he gets the ball, but it's the sort of lunging tackle that will always result in a free-kick these days.

Great chance for City as Ivanovic gets caught... Silva to Aguero, who takes it past Cech but runs the ball out for a goal kick! Should have just had a shot.

Not much Chelsea marking at the corner, and Chelsea are lucky Nastasic headed the ball into the ground.

Good save Cech! Nastasic meets the corner with a downward header that bounces up and Cech beats it away two-fisted!

Another City corner on the right, Silva to deliver an inswinger...

Aguero feels Ivanovic roughed him up as the pair jumped for a header... looked like an OK challenge to me.

Aguero stays down injured by Chelsea play on... a few jeers ring out, but they've every right to carry on. And Aguero is duly back on his feet before long.

The visitors have not got a real foothold in this game. But City yet to properly test Cech.

City continue to dominate as Milner clips in a cross from the right... headed away.

City win a corner on the left, Mata to take... poor delivery, easily headed clear at the near post.

Clichy intercepts in midfield and starts a City move... Silva plays a neat ball to Milner whose cross is headed clear.

Silva makes a driving run inside from the left but is eventually muscled off the ball as he gets to the edge of the Chelsea box.

A stat from Infostrada: 'City have no wins in their last three PL matches. They last went four without victory between September and November 2009, when they were on a run of seven consecutive PL draws under Mark Hughes.'
