Good afternoon everyone. Based on the scoreline at the Amex Stadium with one minute to play, just four teams are battling for the honour of being the best of the rest behind Manchester City and for three spots in the top four. But if City win today, there will be five points and daylight between Chelsea and fourth-placed Spurs. Antonio Conte's Blues, though, are the last team to win at the Etihad.

Highlights

90+4\

PEEEEP PEEEEEP PEEEEEP! Full time: Man City 1-0 Chelsea.

Man City move a step closer to the title with another three points, while Chelsea's are beaten after their most negative performance in memory.

90+3'

Oooh, Chelsea are not too far away from a remarkable smash and grab as Marcos Alonso volleys wide from 25 yards. Ederson was extended there.

90+2'

Conte gives MOTM David Silva a chance to milk the applause as Phil Foden comes on in stoppage time. About a minute to play...

90'

Four minutes of stoppage time. Is there a sting in the tail?

89'

Finally, Morata on for Hazard. Chelsea's record signing has 50 seconds plus stoppage time to make a difference.

86'

Another City change as Danilo replaces Zinchenko, who has been impressive aside from a rash first-half challenge on Moses which earned him a booking.

84'

A first home game in eight without a goal comes to an end for Sergio Aguero, who is replaced by Gabriel Jesus. They haven't seen the Brazilian here in 2018 and he is greeted with a huge cheer.

It's been a frustrating afternoon for Aguero, who is still waiting for a 200th City goal.

81'

Morata was stripped and ready to come on but has put his coat back on and sat down. Bizarre. It's Ederson Palmeri on for Pedro instead.

80'

Chelsea have a corner! But they fail to clear the first man.

78'

City outnumber Chelsea but Kevin de Bruyne's pass to Aguero is over-hit and he is forced wide. For all City's possession, it's been a slightly frustrating afternoon for the Argentine, who remains stranded on 199 City goals.

78'

With 12 minutes of normal time remaining, Antonio Conte finally makes that change. Giroud on for Willian.

74'

Rudiger loses possession but gets back to hack the ball clear under pressure from Aguero. City still pressing for that second goal.

69'

On the rare occasions that Chelsea have counter-attacked since half-time, their final ball hasn't been anywhere near good enough. Earlier, Willian squandered possession in a 4v2 and now Pedro's pass has too much for Hazard at the end of a promising run from the Spaniard.

17.25

65'

It's a little more end to end suddenly but it's City getting their shots off. Kevin de Bruyne fires well over from 25 yards.

17.20

61'

When will Conte call for Morata or Giroud? One or both of the big strikers seems increasingly important as Courtois sends another long punt towards absolutely no-one.

58'

Rudiger is the first player in the book. One foul too many for the Chelsea man.

57'

Two openings in as many minutes for David Silva, who forces a save from Courtois with a rising shot and then finishes a lovely move with a low shot that is well blocked for a corner. City ramping up the pressure since that Moses chance.

53'

Nearly the live blogger's curse there as Chelsea fashion their best chance of the match through Eden Hazard and Fabregas. The Spaniard's ball finds Moses in open space on the right edge of the penalty box and he bursts forward but shanks his shot wide. At last, some hope for the dark blues.
