20:56 GMT - That'll do it for tonight! Thank you for joining us.
20:16 GMT - Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane said it was the 'stuff of dreams' to go up against Pep Guardiola on the side of the pitch.
"For me personally, it was amazing, stuff you dream about," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Pep Guardiola, Premier League game, amazing.
"He's one of the best managers that has ever done it, that seemed to be the narrative of the game, and I don't think it should have been. It should be about the players and how well they performed.
"It shouldn't be about me, it should be about the quality performance those lads put on with everything that has gone on.
"I'm really proud of the performance, even if that goal didn't come, I thought the character the lads showed, especially in the second half... I would've been so happy regardless.
"It's even better, we got the equaliser I thought we deserved."
20:00 GMT - Chelsea captain Reece James said he and his teammates were determined to move on, following the departure of ex-manager Enzo Maresca.
"We had to accept what we were on earlier in the week and put it behind us," he told Sky Sports.
"We came here with a gameplan. In the first half, we made a slight error for their goal. But we grew into the game in the second half, and we knew a chance would come and (Enzo Fernandez) took the chance when it came."
James also credited interim coach Calum McFarlane and his staff for stepping into unfamiliar roles, highlighting the challenge of taking charge for the first time away at Manchester City.
"Credit to the staff that stepped up. They haven't been in this role before. To come to Manchester City away as your first first-team game is difficult.
"We had to adapt fast. We came out in the second half with a slightly different plan, and as the game went on, we grew more into it."
19:32 GMT - FULL-TIME:
Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea - match report here

17:52 GMT - Frustrated Liverpool goalscorer Florian Wirtz said he'd happily trade his goal for a victory, following their 2-2 draw at Fulham.
"Not satisfied at all," he told Sky Sports. "We need points, and we wanted three points today. We know there's no easy game in this league.
"The intensity we brought on the pitch in the second half was much better. We didn't press them well in the first half, but the second half was much better."
The German said he did not celebrate his goal as he was certain VAR was going to rule it out.
"I was sure it was offside so I didn't even celebrate," he said. "I was happy that I scored, but I'd rather take the three points.
"Again, we are in a difficult situation because we drew two times. It's not what we want; we want more. We have to get better, but it's still a process."
