Loftus Road, London
Queens Park Rangers 0-0 Manchester City
A drab, windy and wet affair in West London ended scoreless as Manchester City dropped two valuable points away from home.
Harry Redknapp's side were compact and stubborn but carried no threat in attack, while City struggled to fashion much in terms of a clear-cut chance for anyone to stick away.
When David Silva and co. did conjure something, they found Julio Cesar in inspired form yet again. Frustrating night in the capital for the Citizens.
FULL TIME! QPR 0-0 MANCHESTER CITY
Thanks for joining us here on B/R for the game—sorry it wasn't a cracker!
Stay tuned for match reaction from myself.
90+3'—Mancini looks worried, and so he should be. QPR one minute from picking up an all-important point, City one minute from dropping two more.
Sub!
Remy off, Zamora on.
89'—City piling forward in search of a winner but QPR standing strong. A counter is led by Taarabt, who takes on two players but fires wide!
86'—Both sides desperate now. Sinclair on, Milner off.
City want three, QPR desperate for just a share.
84'—Another chance for City!
Dzeko again on the left, finds Silva and his shot is blocked!

83'—SAVE!
Another superb save from Cesar!
Dzeko comes in off the left, whips the ball in and Silva fires wide!
78'—QPR take around two minutes to take a free kick in a dangerous area, complain about the wall's encroachment and then, eventually, Granero fires it miles over.
76'—Looking at that penalty incident again, Remy looked like he dived. No yellow card though.

Penalty shout!
Remy goes down in the box, the crowd are on their feet, nothing given.
72'—Huge chance for City!
A diagonal ball finds Silva steaming into the box and his clever backward header finds Aguero free in the box.
The Argentine fires miles over on the volley. It's a tough chance, but he couldn't have caught it worse.
69'—Cesar saves well from Silva as he skips inside the box and fires in a shot from an acute angle. All City at the moment, but can they breach this defence?

66'—GREAT CHANCE!
Milner shapes to shoot but plays a ball into Dzeko, who's found a yard of space in the box, but it's too strong and the Bosnian can't reach it on the stretch.
64'—City have a big man up front in Dzeko now and Lescott looks to use his height by zipping a ball straight into him.
The knock down is quite poor, but that's the avenue the Bosnian opens for this side in use. Can he crack this defence?
62'—Remy goes close on the break as he latches onto a through-ball and fires over.
Patience from City, patience from QPR. One goal settles this game.

City sub!
Mancini got my text.
Dzeko on, Nasri off.

Yellow card!
Granero enters the book for tugging back Silva. Bit soft.
55'—More pressure from City as they try to work a cute opening. It feels like this QPR defence will bend but not break unless Mancini throws a Bosnian at them...
52'—City are starting to piece things together again and they're playing some incisive passes to strech this QPR defence.
Good start from the home side stifled.

49'—Even stevens so far and Adel Taarabt has the first chance, firing in from range. It's saved.
45'—We're off again!
HALF TIME! 0-0
43'—Another chance!
Nasri makes himself some space after Tevez miscontrols it but fires wide at the near post.

42'—WHAT A SAVE!
Barry nicks the ball, plays a one-two with Tevez and his left-footed, first-time effort is curling into the far corner but for an acrobatic intervention by Julio Cesar!
Yellow card!
M'bia goes into the book for a trip on Clichy.
