Thanks for your company - stick with us for Leicester-Spurs, which is coming right up. Ta-ra.

That's a brilliant win for Chelsea, who hung on in the first half, took the chance they created, and were excellent in the second. They move third, while City stay second with Liverpool top.

City work it forward and my picture cuts out but returns in time for me to see Jesus bend one that Kepa dives high to shove away.

Chelsea knock it about and the crowd cheer each pass, administering a firm dose of own medicine.

McManaman gives man of the match to Luiz just ahead of Azpilicueta - amazingly, given his award to Matic just the other night, I agree with him in both aspects. He'll be thrilled when someone tells him!
90'
There'll be four added minutes.

City win a corner and go short, Barkley and Luiz throwing themselves at it when the ball comes into the box. Sterling then picks it up and has a shot booked before a further clearance falls to Fernandinho, who cuts across a volley very nicely, sending a shot steaming wide.

Literally 10 minutes later, Guardiola is still bitching at the fourth official.

How unexciting this game has been tells you how well Chelsea have played.

Lovely from Azpilicueta, who takes a ball from Pedro and flicks it back to him. The cross is decent too, picking out Barkley, who gets up well but heads wide.

Solemnity incarnate.

Final City change: Foden gets his big chance, sent on to replace Mahrez.

The ground is alive again as City move the ball along the back four. They don't look like a side about to launch a stirring comeback, it must be said.
80'
On the touchline, Guardiola is bitching that it wasn't a corner, but it was - the shot deflected of Mahrez's studs.
80'
That was Chelsea's first corner of the match, and Luiz's first goal of the season. They've been good second half - solid in defence and likely in attack.

GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Manchester City (David Luiz) Luiz comes into the box late, wanders towards the six-yard box, and when Pedro crosses flat, an arch of the back and a shake of the locks gets a fine flick over Ederson and into the corner! The champions are going to lose for the first time since April!

Loftus-Cheek and Barkley work the ball between them allowing Barkley to shoot low - a deflection takes it behind...

Loftus-Cheek replaces Willian, who's done a lot of nothing.
