There's a goal in this, got to be. Vincent Kompany stops James Wilson with a cruncher and Gael Clichy slices the corner away. Angel Di Maria hits the first man again with his second set-piece. Not good enough...

There are FIVE MINUTES added on as Yaya Toure heads over the top. Yaya Toure, target man now...

Another penalty appeal as Luke Shaw tackles Pablo Zabaleta. Corner...

See you later! Wonderful touch from Yaya Toure as he leaves Paddy McNair clutching at air, a Cruyff-style turn that was just too good!

Toure then gets a shot away and it's inches wide...

Louis Strong:, external Manchester United probably fancy a bit of a 'Fergie-time' equaliser or even a winner! City seem to be back foot despite the extra man...

Paddy McNair lumps it down the middle, Vincent Kompany heads away. City fans now the nervous ones...

Not another injury?! Wayne Rooney gets cramp after a clash with Joe Hart, it was an accidental collision and Rooney is ok after a rub of the sponge. Can Rooney and co steal a point? It looked utterly unthinkable around the 70-minute mark...

United win a corner and Marouane Fellaini, a human wrecking ball, holds off Vincent Kompany well but heads over the top. He is the most awkward athlete I think I've ever seen, but at times he sure is effective...

MOTD's Guy Mowbray at Etihad Stadium

"Manuel Pellegrini does have more than one way to play. In these circumstances it can't all be about all-out attack for the rest of the game."

Shut up shop. Put the shutters down, sweep up under the tables and cash up the till. That's City's plan as Fernandinho comes on for Sergio Aguero.

If he could bring James Milner back on, Manuel Pellegrini probably would do...

Samuel Ball:, external If ever you need a reminder how bad a footballer Marouane Fellaini is, take a look at that attempt of a header! (see 77 mins) Awful!

Enamul Hoque:, external Cranking it up... Come on United!

Adam Byrne:, external Come on City - finish them off. Put the Red Devils to the sword.

James Wilson scored four goals against City in August - in the Manchester Senior Cup. Can he get one on a grander stage?

Willssssooonnnnn! Time for the youngster as James Wilson replaces Robin van Persie up front for United - yes that's right. Wilson for RvP.

Louis van Gaal is not afraid of a big change. Remember Tim Krul at the World Cup?

"I was just starting to think Wayne Rooney had gone quiet and then he came out with an unbelievable run - it was the Rooney of old! There might have been a penalty claim there too as Jesus Navas came across. Great play from United though. I am really starting to think they could get something out of this game.

"Michel Carrick is using the ball so well and all of a sudden there is some belief starting to grow in this United side."

MOTD's Guy Mowbray at Etihad Stadium

"Hope is back in Manchester United's system. They are still in this. City have had two huge warnings in a very short space of time.

"Manchester United are getting stronger at the end of a game again. You can't see at the moment that City have an extra man."

Pablo Zabaleta and Fernando both go into the book in quick succession as United continue to pour forwards - is there an equaliser for the men in red?

And Marouane Fellaini then heads wide when well placed! Off his shoulder in fact, a horrible effort. But where has this come from? A great spell of pressure from the visitors, who looked cooked just 10 minutes or so ago.

What a save! There is almost a second goal but it's at the other end! Brilliant run from Wayne Rooney, like Gazza in his pomp, right through the middle including a nutmeg on Vincent Kompany.

He goes down - another penalty appeal for the list - and Angel Di Maria fires in the loose ball. It looks in, but Joe Hart makes a big one-handed stop...

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Etihad Stadium

"Manchester City are well in control now and United need their array of attackers to somehow ease the pressure on their revamped defence but they have struggled to impose themselves.

"Having finally got themselves on top, City will be desperate to close this out to maintain the pressure on leaders Chelsea. This game has had plenty of sub-plots today - is there one last twist?"

Post! Yaya Toure with a peach of a through ball, toying with the United defence like a cat with a bird, to pick out Jesus Navas. He's in behind Luke Shaw, who does well to put him under pressure and the Spaniard canes his shot against the outside of the post.

A second goal is needed to rubberstamp this win for the hosts and it should be coming soon at this rate...
