Which manager will be the happier of the two right now? Ancelotti's game-plan to frustrate the visitors seems to be working, though he won't want his team to invite too much pressure.

Calvert-Lewin wins a free kick with a driving run from deep. Everton have a good situation in a central position 30 yards from goal.
24'
Allan hacks down Gundogan on the far left as the City man was heading back towards his own half. Strange tackle. The City bench were fuming with it. The referee responds by giving Allan a yellow card.

12'
Everton are dropping so deep. The hosts have only ventured forward on a couple of occasions. City are probing but Ancelotti's men are packing the central areas well.
