Raheem Sterling gave City the lead in the 44th minute and Sergio Aguero had the chance to double their lead before half-time but his attempted Panenka penalty misfired and Edouard Mendy made a simple catch.
Chelsea,who also made changes to the side that beat Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final,drew level through a low drive from Hakim Ziyech in the 63rd minute.
They then stunned City when Marcos Alonso’s scuffed shot floated past Ederson.
It left City on 80 points with three games left,13 ahead of Manchester United who have five to play. They could still secure the title this weekend if United lose at Aston Villa overnight on Sunday (AEST).

United have three games coming up in five days,and even if they win all three City would win the title by beating Newcastle United on Friday.
As well as delaying City’s title lap of honour and putting down a psychological marker for the Champions League final,Thomas Tuchel’s side took a massive leap towards securing a top-four finish as they moved into third spot above Leicester City.
