Chelsea vs Manchester City LIVE updates Antonio Conte has discussed Alvaro Morata's hamstring injury. When you lose this type of player it is not simple," he said.
"When you play three massive games in only seven games you must consider this, it can happen a muscular problem, but I do not think it is serious.
Alvaro stopped before it became a serious injury. Kevin De Bruyne: I think it was a tactical game and disciplined game from both sides. We had more chances, not too many but a little bit more.
We played tactically a great game, Its a nice win because its difficult to win here. It ends a very nice month for us.
its only the beginning but its good to maintain the winning streak. We want to win as many as possible.
We wan to lose as less game as possible because the feeling when you win is better. We have two games with the national team and then come back and continue. Fabian Delph: The win is huge.
We knew coming into the game it was our toughest of the season but we had a game plan and we stuck to it. The plan was to stick with them on the counter.
I lost Willian a few times but I think we did the job to a tee. That performance there was for one of our teammates, Benjamin Mendy.
He left us a message before the game and we knew we had to do it for him. If youre watching, thats for you big man. It sends out a massive message. We needed to come out on top today.
Theres a togetherness in the team and you could see that on the pitch today.. Reaction: Stay with us for all the reaction after Chelsea's tepid 1-0 defeat to a dominant City.

It looks like he's hurt himself. Chelsea come forward and force a corner as Walker heads clear. Courtois wants to come up but it's taken quickly. Kante then barges into Stones for the foul.
Chelsea 0-1 City 90: Yellow. Otamendi goes straight through Willian to get the ball. A free-kick for Chelsea in a dangerous area. Fabregas whips in, Christiansen is there to meet it but he heads over.
Chelsea 0-1 City 88: City are still pushing for a second here. Chelsea have run out of ideas.
They're struggling to get out of their own half when in possession. Ederson meets a hopeful lump forward from Fabregas before Batshuayi can get to it.
Batshuayi will rightly complain he's had no service whatsoever since coming on. Chelsea 0-1 City 85: BLOCK! Rudiger gets a head on Jesus' shot after covering Courtois' goal line.
Chelsea 0-1 City 84: City break three times through the Blues midfield but on each occasion mess up the final ball. Chelsea's defence has been pretty resilient today but they haven't been helped by a near-absent midfield at times.
Sane is off, with Gundogan on. Chelsea 0-1 City 79: Azpilicueta gets in behind the City defence and tries to squad his cross - but Ederson gets there before Batshuayi.
City are straight down the other end but Cahill blocks Sterling's shot. Chelsea 0-1 City 75: CRUNCH! Otamendi and Willian go up for a header and the City defender appears to lodge an elbow in his opponent's cheek.
Willian goes down in a heap but there's no whistle from the referee. There's not much protest from the Chelsea fans either. Indifferent, you might say. Chelsea 0-1 City 72: The visitors are seeking a second here.
Silva is enjoying so much room in the middle of the park, heading forward at every opportunity. Batshuayi and Pedro enter the field. Hazard and Bakayoko off. Chelsea need a spark in the rain here.
Chelsea 0-1 City 67: GOAL! De Bruyne breaks the deadlock! The Belgian gets the ball off Jesus and hits it after taking a touch to the left of Courtois. The goalkeeper is nowhere near it.

That was a let-off. Chelsea 0-0 City 62: Yellow card for Fernandinho and Willian has a free-kick in a dangerous area. He smartly plays left to Hazard, who is free on his own. The Belgian shoots but Ederson saves.
Chelsea 0-0 City 54: Raheem Sterling is unmarked at the far edge of the area from a corner. He controls off his chest and lines up a left-footed volley. It flies into the stands. Poor.
Chelsea 0-0 City 46: We're back underway at Stamford Bridge. The fans have been pretty quiet so far - maybe an indication of how City have commanded possession.
No changes from either side. Chelsea 0-0 City HT: Glenn Hoddle reckons Morata was carrying his hamstring injury into today's game.
"The reaction from the bench was that they knew he was going into the game with a bit of a fatigued hamstring, Hoddle said on BT Sport.
It's obviously tightened up and they can't take a risk. Chelsea 0-0 City HT: It's not been a bad game to be fair but there's very little splitting these two sides. Courtois has been the busier goalkeeper, saving off Fernandinho.
A bg worry for Chelsea though is Morata's injury. It looks like a hamstring problem.
Willian replaced the striker - a bit of a slap in the face for Batshuayi, who actually scored the winner for Chelsea against Atletico Madrid in midweek and is the like-for-like swap.
Chelsea 0-0 City 44: SAVE! Courtois keeps Chelsea in it before half time. Fernandinho comes steaming in for a diving header but the goalkeeper is equal to it. Two mins in the half for Chelsea to hold on.

From the resulting corner Rudiger and Stones go up for a header and it's the City star who goes down. He hits the ground and is in pain.
The physios looking at his wrist. Stones goes off the field for treatment. Chelsea 0-0 City 12: CLOSE! What a mess at the back for Chelsea. Courtois passes out from a goal kick but it's immediately played back to him.
Jesus closes down the goalkeeper and gets in the way of his clearance… but the ball goes out for a goal kick. Relief for the goalkeeper.
Chelsea 0-0 City 10: City are enjoying plenty of the ball here. They're camped just inside the Chelsea half but can't really get any further forward. Bakayoko goes down under a strong Otamendi challenge but it was a clean one.
Chelsea 0-0 City 5: CLOSE! Morata's glancing header from Kante's cross sails over. That was a neat opening attack from the Blues.
At the other end Courtois saves a De Bruyne free-kick with ease. Chelsea 0-0 City 1: We're underway at Stamford Bridge! City in their (lovely) plum away kit.
The visitors controlling possession in the opening stages. Pep Guardiola on Sergio Aguero: I think days off are to be happy. I want the players to be happy. I think the players have to rest mentally and physically.
They can enjoy their lives. I want my players to have fun. If they decide to go there, they decide to go there.
It is okay for me. Antonio Conte on Eden Hazard and team selection: If he was able to play one game like the last game against Atletico Madrid it means hes ready now to play with continuity.
For us, hes an important player. Last season he had an important season, he played very well, he performed as a top player.
Im very happy for him. It will not be easy to make [selection] decisions tomorrow, because, in my eyes, there is the last performance against Atletico Madrid.
Every single player performed very well in this game. But I have to check the physical condition for every single player and then to make the best decision..
Last time out Eden Hazard was Chelsea's saviour the last time these sides met back in April. The Belgian scored either side of Sergio Aguero's strike to earn a 2-1 win at the Bridge.
Aguero has scored five of City's last seven Premier League goals at Chelsea. But he misses the game.
Chelsea vs Manchester City teams So, Eden Hazard is in the Chelsea XI and will be seen as the go-to man heading forward. Conte has dropped Moses, with Azpilicueta moving to right wing-back.
Rudiger and Christiansen are in the centre-back positions alongside captain Cahill. Guardiola, meanwhile, brings Sane into the side to replace the injured Aguero.
It looks as though Delph will play left-back following Mendy's knee injury. Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Cahill, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Hazard, Morata.
Subs: Caballero, Pedro, Moses, Kenedy, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuyai. Man City: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Delph, De Bruyne, D. Silva, Sane, Sterling, Jesus. Subs: Bravo, Danilo, Gundogan, Mangala, Bernardo Silva, Zinchenko, Toure.
