THIS IS INTERESTING
20'
WELL DEFENDED PINNOCK
Srterling feeds Mahrez down the right, and the defender heads behind; again, Brentford get it away, then when the ball comes back, Sterling floating over the top, De Bruyne, trying to cushion back in, is offside.
19'
LAPORTE AND JENSEN WRESTLE
So the ref has a word, then Brentford clear the corner.
18'
STERLING WINS A FREE-KICK DOWN THE LEFT
But again, it's Henry at the back post, conceding the corner.
17'
SPURS LEAD SOUTHAMPTON
Thanks to an own goal.
17'
I'M REALLY ENJOYING CELTIC
Ange Postecoglu is a proper manager.
15'
HENRY IS DOWN
He collided with Mahrez, but is back up and about.
14'
CANCELO INTERVENES
Nipping inside to flip a decent ball to the far post, where Henry does well to leap and head behind, away from Mahrez; the corner comes to nowt and Brentford counter, but Canos makes a mess of things with plenty of men up with him.
12'
NOT MUCH GOING ON HERE
So allow me to report that Christian Romero has just had his first Spurs goal confiscated for offside.
10'
DE BRUYNE WINS A FREE-KICK
He's just settling into the game, and flicks a quick pass out to Sterling, playing his 450th league match tonight; the ensuing cross is intercepted by Ajer.
9'
NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL
But joyful, so not entirely unrelated.
8'
CITY PROBE
They move the ball across the back four, then Cancelo tries a dink for Foden, butit runs through for Raya.

I'VE ALSO GOT EYES ON SPURS v SOTON
Soton have dominated the early stages, and you can follow our blog of the match here:
6'
THIS TIME RAYA GOES LONG
And Ghoddos catches it nicely, moving away from Dias ... then falls over.
6'
A SLOW START FROM BOTH TEAMS
Which will suit Brentford nicely.
4'
POOR CLEARANCE FROM RAYA
He sweeps out to Mahrez, who heads inside ... but Foden is offside.
2'
TERRIBLE NEWS FOR BRENTFORD
Norwich, who might just get out of trouble, have taken the lead against Palace.
1'
IT'S STONES AT RIGHT-BACK
So BT were right and Google were wrong. In attack, meanwhile, it's Foden through the middle with Mahrez right and Sterling left.

OFF WE GO!
Brentford set us away, following the taking of the knee. All black lives matter.

Here come the teams!

They've turned the lights down at the Etihad. It's so atmospheric I'm choking up.
