Summary
So long title race...
Matt Davies-Adams has Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin alongside him to look back on the 1-0 defeat by Manchester City at the Etihad which leaves Thomas Tuchel's side 3rd in the Premier League table and 13 points behind Pep Guardiola's side.
There's an examination of the ongoing attacking issues, team selection dilemmas and whether they're now looking over their shoulder in the top four race.
The Blues must bounce back immediately as they travel to Brighton on Tuesday night...
We look ahead to that game and round up the other Blues news - including the departure of Lewis Baker after 17 years at the club.
