34'

This could get very messy for United.

33'

GOAL! Man Utd 0-2 Man City (Mahrez 33) Riyad Mahrez makes it two! Bernardo Silva picked up a loose ball just past the halfway line and played a delicious through pass to Mahrez, who danced round the outrushing de Gea to score. City have been majestic.

32'

When a United corner is half cleared, Pereira curls in a wicked ball from the right that bounces across the six-yard line. Lindelof hooks it back into the middle and City clear.

30'

City are making United pay for having the nerve to win at the Etihad. The last 20 minutes have been painfully one-sided.

27'

Greenwood and Rashford have swapped positions, with Rashford now up front.

26'

Greenwood moves to the left and plays a good pass infield to find Lingard. He gives it away. After a decent start, United are struggling.

24'

Sterling almost makes it 2-0! Walker played a one-two with De Bruyne and picked out Sterling in the area. His first shot was blocked by Wan-Bissaka, and Jones threw himself in the way of Sterling's follow-up.

22'

21'

It's all City now. Mahrez goes on a dangerous slalom and hits a low shot that is blocked by a United defender.

19'

Feel the enthusiasm.

18'

Although it was a spectacular goal, United's defending was pretty poor. They allowed Bernardo Silva to move onto his left foot, completely unchallenged, and then to shoot from 20 yards.

17'

GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Man City (B Silva) Bernardo Silva gives City the lead with a stunning goal! He moved infield from the right, away from Fred, and drove a spectacular shot across goal that beat de Gea and flew in off the underside of the bar. Great goal!

15'

City have had 57 per cent of the possession so far. It feels like more, to be honest.

15'

14'

The game has started as expected, with lots of City possession and United looking dangerous on the break. It's been good to watch.

11'

A neat header from Greenwood finds Rashford, who wins a corner off Fernandinho. Nothing comes of it.

Now a half chance for City. Mahrez plays a good pass to find Sterling on the left side of the box. He comes inside Wan-Bissaka, looking for the shot, but is crowded out.

A superb counter-attack from United. Fred and Greenwood combine to find Rashford, who dances round Otamendi on the right of the area and slides a cross towards James in the six-yard box. Fernandinho, superbly positioned, gets there first and clears the danger.

Bernardo Silva wins the first corner of the match. It's headed away by Brandon Williams at the near post.

A low cross from James causes a bit of panic in the City area, with Fernandinho eventually lumping the ball clear.
