Teams coming out on the pitch now at the CIty of Manchester Stadium. Seems like a cracking atmosphere.
Citeh about to kick us off and I'm glad to see that both sides are wearing their traditional home kits despite being blue on blue.
A frantic, comical start there from Petr Cech and the Chelski defenders.
Citeh and Chelski start the evening in 2nd and 3rd. Citeh would go top again with a win tonight.
Kompany slides in and immediately tries to argue his case for not getting booked. Mike Dean lets him off the hook.
Oh - great cross over from Kolarov and Yaya Toure was inches away from a tap in.
Jose won't be able to accuse Citeh of playing "19th century football" tonight as they're ripping his Chelski side apart.
Oh - Eto'o was a whisker offside there as Hazard threaded the ball through to him.
Oh - Yaya with a sweeping shot that just dipped over the bar.
Chelski very much playing on the counter.
Oh dear - that was a horrible free kick from Sideshow.
Coming to the half-way point of the first half and there are still precious few chances to speak of. Arsenal fans will be happy.
Oh - great break by Chelski, with Willian feeding Ramires who tried to curl Hart. Hart did well and Willian tried the spectacular with the rebound.
GOAL! Ivanovic with a ripper out of nowhere!
0-1!
Some sloppy defending by Citeh there and when the ball came loose the big Serbian hit it like a rocket.
And now he's picked up a yellow card. Busy night for Branco.
That puts Chelski level on points with Citeh in second then.
Coming down to the last few minutes now. I'll be running over to campus at half-time to teach my afternoon class.
Unfortunately, Chelsea hung to sneak a 0-1 away win. I am starting to feel better about picking them to win the title.
