Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stamford Bridge!
5' Jack Grealish is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chelsea FC tonight.
10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Tuchel might look to freshen things up shortly.
15' 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 N'Golo Kante suffering a number of foals already.
20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Azpilicueta is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Chelsea FC.
25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chelsea FC that had 418 games and scored 675 goals.
29' Chelsea FC ring the changes. Reece James has done his job and it is now time for Thiago Silva to step up.
34' It is a cagey affair so far. Chelsea FC in their trying to find a way past Manchester City FC's compact .
39' Joao Cancelo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
44' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
49' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
53' What a moment for Gabriel Jesus! That strike on 53 puts his side firmly in control.
58' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
60' Another substitution for Chelsea FC to replace N'Golo Kante by Kai Havertz on 60 minute.
65' Manchester City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
70' Kevin De Bruyne has been relatively quiet despite scoring 84 goals in his last 452 appearances.
75' Chelsea FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
76' Time for substitution for Chelsea FC. Jorginho is replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
77' Marcos Alonso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
78' Andreas Christensen is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
81' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 81 minute. Kevin De Bruyne leaves to be changed by Riyad Mahrez.
84' Chelsea FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 84.
87' Fernandinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Phil Foden on 87 minute.
90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ruben Dias.
Chelsea FC will have plenty to reflect on. Manchester City FC were simply the better side today.
