Moises Caicedo needs a while to get back on his feet, which provides both managers with a little opportunity for a team talk.

Erling Haaland’s been quiet so far but the Norwegian always seems to pop up at the right time.

His cross is rather overpowered though and the chance comes to nothing for City.

It’s a bit more end-to-end now, but you’d still have to say that Pep Guardiola will be the happier manager after the opening 20 minutes.

Manchester City threaten again but Chelsea counter well and João Pedro goes on his own, before slipping inside the box as he got his shot off.

They didn’t like that…

It’s played short and Chelsea work it back as far as Robert Sanchez, much to the discontent of their fans at Wembley.

Now it’s Chelsea’s turn to push forward and they do well on the right with Malo Gusto’s cross towards the back post… but it’s nodded behind for a corner!

Robert Sanchez does well to claim a long ball over the top for Omar Marmoush.

Reporter’s view

It’s a matter of give it to Jeremy Doku or Antoine Semenyo and see what they can do.

That appears to be the strategy for Manchester City at the moment, who have utterly dictated proceedings so far with 72% of the possession. A very steady first quarter of an hour.

Wesley Fofana puts the ball out for a corner after Nico O’Reilly kickstarts a promising bit of play on the left.It’s played short before being whipped in to the far post, where Rodri’s header is dealt with.

📝 8′ 15:10

Antoine Semenyo’s poor free-kick from range gives Cole Palmer a chance to break forward on the counter-attack, but he’s quickly brought to a halt.

TEAMS ARE OUT

Pep Guardiola and Callum McFarlane lead their teams out onto the Wembley turf as Prince William exchanges handshakes with the two teams.

Kickoff is IMMINENT!

📝 14:51

The noise in the “cathedral of football” as Pep Guardiola refers to it is only growing as the light show commences.

Under 10 minutes to go until the biggest game in Chelsea’s season, and certainly one of the biggest for Manchester City.

The Bradford AFC Choir and marching band make their way into the centre circle and begin their pre-match performance.

We’ve also had a rendition of ‘Blue Moon’, met with a chorus (get it…) of boos from the Chelsea supporters to my left.

Not long now!
