Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Manchester City FC kicks off things out of here…

- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 452 games and scored 1056 goals.
- 20' Chelsea FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Manchester City FC backline.

- 38' Marcos Alonso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Oleksandr Zinchenko suffering a number of foals already.

- 67' Pedro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
