City's players still talking to the referee. They felt Clichy got a touch on the ball. Replays show he might have had a case... Silva booked as part of the protests.

PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL. City are caught out as Can floats a diagonal pass to Firmino. He's free in the box, but is caught by Clichy's desperate boot. Clichy booked, Milner to take...

Is Mane Liverpool's biggest threat? He has had a hand in four goals in his last three Premier League appearances against the Citizens (three goals, one assist), including a hat-trick for Southampton in May 2016.

End of 1st Half

45+2'

HT: Man City 0-0 Liverpool. A lively first 45 comes to an end. City bossed it early on and have had the best openings with Sterling and Fernandinho somehow failing to tuck home from close range. Liverpool grew as it wore on with Mane, Lallana and Firmino threatening.

City will wonder how they didn't score a few minutes ago. Somehow Sterling missed from three yards. Milner challenged him. Did he catch the winger? Should City have had a penalty?

44'

Matip booked for a tackle on Aguero from behind.

A good spell for the visitors. City are under pressure from a series of set pieces, but Stones eventually slams the door shut.

Great save! Caballero pulls off a smart save to deny Lallana's strike from range.

Liverpool looking to make the most of the reprieve...

De Bruyne cuts through Liverpool's defence with a lovely ball to Silva on the left of the area. The Spaniard drills a low ball into the middle that Sterling somehow misses. It falls for Fernandinho at the far post, who inexplicably stabs into the side netting on the stretch.

It's been more about graft than guile so far.

For all of the talk about how this would be a match of all out attack, we've yet to have one shot on target!

Matip rises to meet Milner's right-wing free kick but can't guide his header on target at the back post.
