Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League showdown between Chelsea and Man City. Can the home side ease some pressure on boss Frank Lampard with a much-needed win? Or will the Covid-hit Citizens maintain their solid form and get 2021 up and running in style?  Kick off 16:30 GMT.

FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City. A first-half masterclass does the damage for City who provided a statement of intent for the second part of the season. Goals from Gundogan, Foden and KDB did the damage before Hudson-Odoi got a stoppage-time consolation. It was a shocker for Chelsea and Lampard will feel more heat after this one as his team continue their poor recent run.

GOAL! No clean sheet for City as Hudson-Odoi tucks in a cross from the left to snare a consolation for the hosts.

Two minutes added.

Bernardo Silva booked.

Chelsea are pressing for a consolation. City are aiming for a 14th shut-out of the season.

CITY CHANGE: Mahrez on for Foden.

CITY CHANGE: Aguero on for KDB.

Plenty of MOTM contenders for City today, but a certain KDB is this scribe's pick.

As it stands, City will move just four points behind leaders Liverpool having played a game less. Chelsea will be three points further back in eighth spot, but have played two games more than the Citizens and look devoid of confidence following a run of what looks like one win and four defeats in their last six league outings.

De Bruyne lines up a 25 yard free kick from the right but sees it deflect behind. No danger for Mendy.

Chelsea are still plugging away but City's defence have been superb. In fact, the whole team display from the visitors has been excellent.

CHELSEA CHANGE: Havertz on for Kovacic.

Werner has hardly been in the game, but marauds down the left before being held up by Stones. He's not scored in 11 matches for Chelsea....

CITY CHANGE: Gundogan off, Fernandinho on.

Kovacic booked. More frustration showing through for the home side.

Sterling and KDB surge forward on the break again. Sterling takes a pass in his stride and darts into the box, but is stopped by a third defender after threatening to go all the way.

Super goalkeeping from Mendy. He races off his line and smothers at the feet of the stretching De Bruyne after Sterling had charged down the right and centred a low ball towards the Belgian.

CHELSEA CHANGE: Gilmour on for Kante.
