1245: BRIDGE AND TERRY DID NOT SHAKE HANDS
Terry had his hand out, but Bridge looked in his eyes and walked straight past. DRAMA!

1241: Stand by your beds, the players are in the tunnel... John Terry has a new haircut - shaved at the sides, longer on top. Almost a mohawk, you might say. Seriously, I promise it will be all football after 1245... or maybe 1247.

1239: Don't worry people, in about five minutes, we can stop talking about THE HANDSHAKE (or lack of). The teams are being read out at the Bridge and John Terry's name gets an inevitable roar of approval from the home fans.

1236: There's Boris Becker at Stamford Bridge! He's wearing a Chelsea scarf - but he's a Bayern Munich fan, I'm sure. Tsk, some people will do anything for a posh seat...

From NickMotown on Twitter: "I say you can't go wrong with the classic 'electric buzzer in the palm'..."

From anon via text: "For once my wife wants to watch a 'football' match. I wonder how long she will last in front of the screen after the handshake/non-handshake."

Football League Danny: "A very busy day in the lower leagues, with all the top sides in all the divisions in action. Here are some tidy looking fixtures for you. Leicester (5th) v Nottingham Forest (2nd) in the Championship. Shrewsbury (6th) v Bournemouth (2nd) in League Two. And in League One, Huddersfield (6th) host Leeds (2nd) - that one has just kicked off."

From west-ham4europe on 606: "Would anyone be surprised if they just shook hands and got on with the game?"
Not surprised... disappointed maybe. Today's not about the game is it? (I'm joking)

From weecrickey on Twitter: "What are the odds that JT jokingly wears a fake hand? As Bridge shakes very tightly it falls off... That would lighten the mood."

1227: TEAM NEWS Chelsea v Man City
Chelsea make two changes from the team that lost at Inter Milan, with Hilario replacing the injured Petr Cech and Joe Cole coming in for Salomon Kalou. That means Florent Malouda stays at left-back, with Paulo Ferreira on the bench. Manchester City make three changes from the team that lost to Stoke in the FA Cup, with Nigel De Jong, Carlos Tevez and Adam Johnson replacing Nedum Onuoha, Emmanuel Adebayor and Stephen Ireland.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini: "Wayne must play well, focus on the game. I explained everything to him, and told him don't listen to any words. It's an important game. If we want to finish in the top four, we must win if possible."

1223: That's as may be Keon (see below), but nonetheless, if UK users were to manually refresh their page now, they would be able to see Football Focus, and then they would be able to see THE HANDSHAKE (or lack of) live.

From Keon, Essex, via text: "This is a football match, not an episode of Jeremy Kyle."

From JamieCutteridge on Twitter: "Forget the handshake, the first time they both go in for a tackle will be far more interesting."

From Oli in Manchester, via text: "Re the Terry-Bridge handshake: what are the odds on a 'Gerrard with Chelsea mascot' moment?"

1217: Anyway, no doubt you have something to say about THE HANDSHAKE (or lack of). Personally, I'm hoping for either a Gary Neville v Patrick Vieira-style stare, or alternatively a Mr-Handshake-Man-off-Banzai four-minute shake. I'm on 81111 (UK),+44 7786200666 (World), 606 or Twitter.

1213: Here they are. A smiling Wayne Bridge applauds the away fans as he runs out. I think I might have heard some boos then.

1211: John Terry runs out to warm up and is given a round of applause by the home fans. No sign of Wayne Bridge and his City team-mates...

1208: And I am just being told that they are planning to play a football match after THE HANDSHAKE (or lack of) which is a nice idea. It'll be good to have something to take our minds off the main event. Chelsea could open up a four-point gap at the top if they beat a Manchester City side who've had a shaky couple of weeks, but are boosted by the return of Carlos Tevez today.

1205: Generally (so Wikipedia tells me) it is considered inappropriate, if not outright insulting to the initiator side, to reject a handshake without good reason (such as an injured right hand). Tony Blair and Colonel Gaddafi; Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat; Saddam Hussein and Donald Rumsfeld; Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao. Could John Terry and Wayne Bridge join that list of momentous handshakes today?

1202: TEAMS Chelsea v Man City
Chelsea: Hilario, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Malouda, Ballack, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Joe Cole. Subs: Turnbull, Paulo Ferreira, Kalou, Sturridge, Matic, Alex, Belletti.
Man City: Given, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge, Zabaleta, De Jong, Barry, Bellamy, Tevez, Adam Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Onuoha, Wright-Phillips, Santa Cruz, Sylvinho, Toure, Ibrahim.

1200: Hello there. A warm handshake to you... And you... And you... But not you.
