Gundogan shoves Kante in the back to prevent a Chelsea counter-attack and picks up a yellow card. That's an easy decision for the referee.
89'
Sterling and Mahrez have switched flanks in the closing stages of the game, perhaps looking to stretch the pitch as the match draws to a close.
87'
Mahrez slips a wonderful ball in behind for Foden, but the midfielder - with plenty of time to pick his man out - rushes his cross and smashes it against a defender!
82'
Batshuayi is played into the box well but loses his footing as he gives chase to the pass and the chance is lost.
78'
Foden attempts a placed, first-time effort from the left, but can only steer his shot wide of the near post.
77'
Gabriel Jesus enters the game and replaces S. Agüero.
A third City substitution has to be made, with Aguero forced to limp off - following in the footsteps of Rodri and Silva. Jesus takes his place up front.
76'
Aguero is hardly moving and looks to be struggling with an injury. He's going to have to be replaced.
74'
M. Mount enters the game and replaces Jorginho.
The second change sees Mount come on for Jorginho as Lampard throws on an attacking midfielder.
73'
M. Batshuayi enters the game and replaces T. Abraham.
Lampard uses his remaining two changes at once as he chases the game, replacing Abraham with Batshuayi up front in the first switch.
Minute
Description
72'
Foden picks up the ball outside the box and looks to place one in the bottom-left corner, but it's tame and Kepa collects easily.
70'
James curls in a great ball from the right, but it's just a yard ahead of Abraham and the striker can't get his head on it!
68'
Willian smashes a shot miles over from inside the box after the ball fell kindly for him. What a waste of a good opportunity.
67'
P. Foden enters the game and replaces David Silva.
Silva is down and appears to be suffering with cramp. He's replaced in midfield by Foden in a second enforced change for Guardiola.
63'
City are seeing a lot more of the ball now and are starving Chelsea of possession. They're playing with purpose and precision.
61'
Jorginho gets yellow.
Jorginho cuts across De Bruyne and fells him as he's charging forward, earning himself a yellow card.
59'
R. James enters the game and replaces Emerson.
Lampard's first change is to replace Emerson with James, meaning Azpilicueta comes across to left-back.
57'
BLOCK! Mahrez is played into space by Gundogan and drives at the defence before unleashing a strike on the edge of the box, but it's charged down!
55'
SAVE! De Bruyne drifts down the right and into the box but, rather than passing it inside, he curls towards the top corner and Kepa is forced to make a fingertip save to send it behind!
52'
İ. Gündoğan enters the game and replaces Rodri.
That change is now made and Rodri trudges off to be replaced by Gundogan at the base of midfield.
51'
Rodri appears to be struggling a little and isn't moving freely. It looks like he may have to be replaced.
48'
City are working the ball around methodically at the moment, patiently waiting for an opening to appear.
46'
We're back under way for the second half!
45' +3
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 2-1 CHELSEA
45' +1
A great chance for City is wasted as the ball is worked to Silva on the left side of the box and he tries to find Sterling, but the winger thinks he's offside and leaves it to run behind!
44'
OVER! Cancelo makes a poor decision after being played in on the right, firing over the bar instead of crossing into the box.
37'
R. Mahrez has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by Rodri.
Rodri claims an assist, but his team-mate had plenty to do when he received the ball with two defenders for company on the right flank.
GOAL!! WHAT A GOAL FROM MAHREZ!! The winger picks the ball up on the right and ghosts past two defenders before curling into the bottom-left corner through Tomori's legs! It's 2-1 to City now!
35'
Willian takes far too many touches as Chelsea break at speed, eventually playing into Emerson on the left, whose cross is well overhit. Kante somehow retrieves it, but can't captialise.
31'
City look to have been buoyed by that goal and are passing around better than they were before. They needed that to settle them down.
29'
K. De Bruyne has scored a goal for Manchester City!
GOAL!! CITY ARE LEVEL!! A deflection falls kindly for De Bruyne and his low strike takes nicks off of both Zouma and Tomori, diverting it away from Kepa and into the back of the net! It's 1-1!
26'
Chelsea are playing past the City press well at the moment and look the more confident, cohesive side.
21'
N. Kanté has scored a goal for Chelsea! Assist by M. Kovačić.
GOAL!! KANTE GIVES CHELSEA THE LEAD! A long ball over the top causes City all sorts of problems and the midfielder then deftly rolls the ball past the onrushing Ederson and into the net! It's 1-0 to Chelsea!
Kovacic launched the ball forward well for Kante to chase and City's defence just weren't organised.
17'
City aren't controlling the game wih their usual quality and have given the ball away with a few loose passes in midfield so far, allowing Chelsea to break with pace.
14'
Chelsea earn a corner off Stones as they pour men forward themselves. City haven't got much height with which to defend set-pieces.
10'
Chelsea are enjoying a spell of possession themselves and are snapping into challenges off the ball well. They're growing into this game.
6'
A City counter-attack is wasted as Aguero takes a little too long to find De Bruyne on the right, and the Belgian declines to shoot despite the angle opening up for him on his left. City looking dangerous in attack.
3'
City are just working the ball around patiently in the opening stages of this one, probing for openings and settling into their rhythm.

We're under way at the Etihad Stadium!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to high-flying Liverpool last time out and leapfrog Chelsea into third with a home win tonight. The Blues, meanwhile, have been in good form, but face their toughest test since they hosted Liverpool in September.
Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, David Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling
Manchester City substitutes: Angelino, Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus, Nicolas Otamendi, Phil Foden, Claudio Bravo, Ilkay Gundogan
Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, Emerson; N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic
Chelsea substitutes: Andreas Christensen, Olivier Giroud, Reece James, Michy Batshuayi, Pedro, Mason Mount, Willy Caballero
It's been an entertaining, end-to-end game so far as both sides have looked dangerous in attack and nervous in defence. There should be plenty more goals in this one if it carries on like this.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
City host Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League next before a trip to Newcastle in the Premier League. Chelsea, meanwhile, face Valencia away from home in midweek before a visit from West Ham.
