FULL TIME. A 0-0 draw but the story is the abuse Benitez suffered at the hands of Chelsea fans. They are fourth, City second.

Luiz barges Balotelli to the ground but strangely enough it is the striker who is booked.

Chance for City! Nastasic gets a firm header to a corner from the right but Cech watches it all the way and clasps the ball to his chest.
90+1'
Two added minutes.
90'
Time running out for either side if they want to win this. Not a bad result in isolation for Chelsea, but the real story is the terrible reception Benitez got at the start of the game.

A late chance for Torres but again he is muscled off the ball. The striker looks downcast after another chance escapes him.

A late change as Mario Balotelli comes on for Aguero.
85'
Ridiculous. Hart touches over a shot from Cole but there is no corner. He didn't just get a finger to it either. Terrible decision and Cole is furious.
84'
Luiz attacks a corner but City clear behind for another. The ball comes in once more but again Chelsea can't get the necessary connection.
83'
The last four Premier League meetings between these two sides have ended as home wins.
81'
Moses leads a breakaway but the ball into the centre is poor from the substitute.
80'
Milner hammers in a low cross from the right but Cech blocks at his near post. City putting Chelsea under some pressure at the moment though they are vulnerable to the counter.

Chelsea make a change as Oriol Romeu comes on for Mikel in midfield.
78'
Poor from Tevez as he pulls down a cross to the left of the box but his shot is poor, screwing into the stands.

Kolarov goes into the book for a foul on Moses, though he appeared to get a decent chunk of the ball, even if he came in from behind.
76'
Aguero connects with Silva's corner at the far post but can't pick out a City shirt when he tries to hook the ball square.
75'
Nothing comes from the corner, but now City have another through Milner...
74'
Danger from Tevez as he collects the ball on the byline on the right and spins to fire in a wicked cross that Cech touches round his post in a moment of panic.
