Chelsea 0-0 Man City LIVE SCORE: Reece James STARTS in big Blues boost against Haaland and Co – Premier League updates

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

16: Not too sure why the Manchester City fans are signing “Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that.” Short memories perhaps.

City have themselves a free-kick around 30 yards from goal. It’s played short before Rodri threads it through to Julian Alvarez, whose slammed effort is blocked behind for a corner by Cucurella.

Gvardiol heads tamely straight at Sanchez.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

13: Chelsea goal up some pressure before breaking upfield. Reece James releases Cole Palmer down the right but he opts for the shot and it’s blocked.

Just the ten hours of play since Chelsea scored a goal against Manchester City. Ouch.

10: Ok, ten minutes gone and I think we’ve got a game on our hands here, folks.

Chelsea certainly aren’t wilting or allowing the visitors to dictate things. The line is high and the press is full of conviction – Poch will be happy enough. Just have to sustain this for 80 minutes now…

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

7: Nice link up between Sterling and Cucurella to win a corner down the left channel fo Chelsea, but it’s rather wasted as Ederson claims it with a minimum of fuss.

City win a corner of their own shortly after. Referee Anthony Taylor has to halt the delivery to have a word with Moisés Caicedo, who is only looking at Erling Haaland and not the ball. Again, poor corner.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

6: Manchester City average 63% possession, and Chelsea average 61% possession in the Premier League this season — the two highest in the division.

Nicolas Jackson looks to release Raheem Sterling with a smart flick but Kyle Walker’s wise to it. Cole Palmer then tracks back to prevent Bernardo Silva from winning a corner.

3: Good move from Chelsea to get things going. Reece James ploughs down the right channel to receive the ball from Enzo Fernandes but his efforts is blocked.

Nice positive start.
