10' It's still all City at the moment and they're patiently playing out from the back to try and open up some space in behind Chelsea. Cancelo lifts a pass over the top to Jesus, who flicks it on, but there's no one behind him to bring it down.
8' Sterling is crowded off the ball, but he manages to touch it through to Aguero and his shot ends up bouncing off Jesus' back on the edge of the box. It falls for Mendy though and he drills a low shot across goal, but it's always going wide.
6' Ederson plays the ball out to Dias on the right and he takes his time to try and pick out a pass until Ziyech closes him down. The defender ends up backing himself into a corner but just manages to get out of trouble.
4' Christensen completely misses his clearance and Torres runs onto it behind him before driving into the box. The Spaniard hits the shot just before Rudiger gets back, but he fires it high over the crossbar.
2' City are pressing Chelsea high up the field in the opening minutes of the game and are making it difficult for the visitors to get out of their own half. Azpilicueta chooses to go long for Werner but overhits the pass and Ederson sweeps it clear.
1' Werner gets the game underway for Chelsea!
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Victory for City would see them win the Premier League title for the fifth time, with only Manchester United (13) lifting the trophy more since its foundation in 1992.
Thomas Tuchel makes five changes to his side after their win over Real Madrid last time out, bringing in James, Ziyech, Gilmour, Alonso and Pulisic. Jorginho and Havertz drop to the bench, with Mason Mount, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell all being rested.
Pep Guardiola rotates his squad again and makes nine changes to the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, with only Ederson and Dias retaining their places. Aguero, Sterling and Jesus are brought in to lead the line, while De Bruyne is left out of the squad due to not being fully fit.
CHELSEA SUBS: Jorginho, Emerson, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Olivier Giroud, Kai Havertz, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Valentino Livramento, Tammy Abraham, Kurt Zouma.
CHELSEA STARTING XI (3-1-4-2): Edouard Mendy; Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger; N'Golo Kante; Reece James, Hakim Ziyech, Billy Gilmour, Marcos Alonso; Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner.
MANCHESTER CITY SUBS: Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez, Zack Steffen, Eric Garcia, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Kyle Walker.
MANCHESTER CITY STARTING XI (3-3-3-1): Ederson; Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte; Joao Cancelo, Rodrigo, Benjamin Mendy; Ferran Torres, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling; Gabriel Jesus.
This is the first of two meetings between the clubs this month after they both booked a place in the Champions League final earlier this week. And City could wrap up the Premier League title this weekend with a win today. If they draw or lose though, they'll have to hope Manchester United don't better their result tomorrow. City have lost just one of their last seven in all competitions (W6) though that was a defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup final, which was a win that set the Blues on a run of six games unbeaten in all competitions.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester City and Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium!
