Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City's match against Everton at Eastlands.

Full time and City win 3-1 to move second for the time being, as Everton's run is ended.

Howard makes himself big to deny Nasri a late strike.

Both sides going through the motions now. This match was over 22 minutes ago.

Four minutes added time being played.

Another booking, this time for Fernandinho. Not that bad a tackle, a tiny bit late on Coleman. Moss seems arbitrary in his decision making.

Naismith booked for a cynical tug on Toure.

Nasri tries a floated ball wide for Negredo but just too heavy for him and out for a goal kick.

Barkley combines with Naismith, now Coleman on the right, McCarthy crosses but Lescott heads clear.

Zabaleta with a fine low cross that should have been touched in but no-one got there!

EVERTON SUB: Lukaku is replaced by Kone.

Nasri feeds Negredo, who smashes it on goal but Howard parries! Great save! Milner sends Negredo through again though but the Spaniard is offside this time!

Kone is warming up for Everton. He's barely featured since joining from Wigan, with Lukaku the star man and Jelavic still seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.

Coleman is the latest player to enter the book.

CITY SUB: Nasri replaces Aguero.

Free-kick Everton on the left, which Deulofeu will take... Swung into the danger zone, Barkley nods it across goal and Lukaku forces it towards goal but easy for Hart.

Zabaleta is booked after a late slide on Baines.

McCarthy with a super tackle on Negredo after the Spain striker worked his way into the box.

Silva is finally booked, under the totting up procedure one assumes as that last foul wasn't as bad as earlier offences.

City have lost six points from winning positions this season. Will it happen again?

A bit on Aguero's scoring streak at the Etihad - though that was not his (ignore the error on the livescore).
