GOOD EVENING Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between leaders Manchester City and Tottenham at Etihad Stadium. Kick off 17.30 GMT.

City surge down the right and Spurs creak once more. It's cut back into the path of Sterling but Emerson is across to make a big, big block.

The Germany star made no mistake with a rising shot following Lloris' error.

City have now scored 99 goals in 38 competitive matches in 2021-22. Will that 100th come today? Spurs will do well to keep them at bay with another half still to come.

It seems only the referee didn't see the heavy deflection that changed the direction of Cancelo's 20-yard shot and diverted it just wide of Lloris' right-hand post.

Spurs will be happy with the respite as City turn the screw looking for a second before half time.

That was Gundogan's fifth PL goal of the season but Lloris won't want to see it again!

Lloris can't hang on to Sterling's whipped cross from the left and Gundogan bangs the loose ball into the back of the net.

Foden skips free down the right and clips a ball towards Sterling. The forward aims to find space for a shot before trying to tee up Cancelo just beyond him. However, the visitors get bodies in the way and the full back can't test Lloris with his blocked shot.

The Lilywhites are aiming to claim their first league double over the reigning top-flight champions since 1986-87, when they beat Liverpool 1-0 home and away.

Once more Kane spins free in a deep role and looks to send Son marauding beyond City's high line. This time it doesn't pay off but the hosts have to be careful as Conte's men can sense joy there.

Sterling wreaks havoc on the left and when the ball drops for Gundogan in the area he's unfortunate to sees a cute effort clip the far post and fly wide.

City keep the pressure on and Cancelo whistles a shot from distance just wide of target.

Once again City threaten down the left. Cancelo plays a delightful one-two with Sterling but is caught offside as he takes the return pass and tries to steer beyond Lloris.

It's a super save from the Spurs stopper, who didn't know the flag was raised.

The City full back tip toes in from the left, bamboozles a defender and curls an 18-yard shot just wide of the far post.

The Portuguese playmaker tries to guide a volley through a crowded penalty area but doesn't get the connection he wants and drags it well wide of Lloris' right-hand post.

City have probed patiently but have so far lacked the imagination you associate with them to cause the visitors major concern.

At the other end, Kane rakes a cross-field pass to release Emerson Royal down the right but his deep cross lacks quality.
