Hello and welcome to Stamford Bridge for live coverage of Chelsea's Premier League showdown with Manchester City this afternoon.
After Liverpool's 2-0 win over Fulham yesterday evening, the pressure is now on the Blues to keep pace in their bid for Champions League qualification. A victory for Liam Rosenior's team would see them go back to within a point of the Reds, though they face a difficult challenge in the form of title-chasing Man City.
Pep Guardiola's side can go within six points of leaders Arsenal, who lost 2-1 to Bournemouth yesterday afternoon, with a victory at Stamford Bridge. Recent history suggests this will be a really difficult one for Chelsea, who have not beaten today's opponents since the Champions League final all the way back in 2021.
It all makes for a fascinating encounter in west London. Bobby Vincent is at Stamford Bridge to bring you live updates of Chelsea versus Manchester City.
