    Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Manchester City are going two points clear at the top of the table after a beautifully crafted goal.

    Yaya Toure provides the assist with a clever pass which opens up the home defence and Samir Nasri dnks the ball over Tim Howard.

    Can Gerard Deulofeu make a difference for Everton? He's on for the final few minutes for Tom Cleverley.

    "My worry for City would be if Aguero gets injured, will Wilfried Bony be the ideal replacement?"

    So close for Everton...

    A fine header by Gareth Barry is heading towards the back of the City net but Vincent Kompany is there to hack it clear and deny his former team-mate.

    Moments earlier Joe Hart failed to claim a corner causing panic in the visitors defence. 

    Everton are not finished.

    "You have to wonder where the goal is going to come from for Everton. Ross Barkley is being crowded out, Man City have dominated winning set-pieces. If you take Romelu Lukaku out of the team - who's going to get the goals?"

    Everton 0-1 Man City

    Jeers ring round Goodison Park as Raheem Sterling is replaced by Samir Nasri.

    Sterling looks towards where his team's travelling fans are seated and claps. 

    A decent shift by the former Liverpool man.

    Everton have just over 15 minutes to rescue this. To be honest, they have looked a little flat since falling behind,

    City have the momentum and are keeping the hosts penned inside their own half.

    Manchester City's goal had been coming but poor from Everton's point of view to see a goalkeeper to Tim Howard's experience beaten so easily at his near post.

    Here's how Man City worked that goal, with Raheem Sterling starting the move in his own half and then providing the final pass for Aleksandar Kolarov to score.

    Good stat from our friends at Opta regarding Raheem Sterling.

    The former Liverpool man has ended a run of 12 league games without an assist, since getting two against Manchester City in March.

    Everton need to do something. Steven Naismith on for the tiring Arouna Kone.

  18. Everton 0-1 Man Citypublished at 63 mins

    Another chance for Manchester City.

    Jesus Navas surges into the Everton area. Sergio Aguero, unmarked and eight yards out, is screaming for the ball.

    Navas goes for glory and Tim Howard makes the save to keep Everton in the game.

    "I think Tim Howard anticipated a ball across the box, he's gone too soon and it's in at the near post. I think he has to stand up there and it could go down as a goalkeeping error."
