    Four additional minutes. Brendan Galloway, back on the pitch after treatment, falls to the ground with no-one around him. His afternoon has ended.

    Brendan Galloway is off the pitch for no more than a minute and Everton move up a gear as half-time approaches.

    A fantastic run by Ross Barkley is ended by a cynical foul from Eliaquim Mangala 25 yards out.

    It's a deserved yellow card for the City defender. Barkley picks himself up, takes aim...and sends the free-kick high and wide.

    "If I were Roberto Martinez, next week I'd be working on staying with the runners, staying with the one-twos. Man City are getting through every time."

    There's a lengthy hold-up as teenage defender Brendan Galloway receives treatment. Everton are temporarily down to 10 men.

  6. Everton 0-0 Man Citypublished at 37 mins

    John Stones has done a decent containing job on Sergio Aguero but the Everton defender concedes a dangerous free-kick after stepping across the Argentine.

    The set-piece comes to nothing. 

    City were 1-0 ahead against Chelsea at this stage in their last game. They're finding this a bit tougher.

    The chances keep on coming.

    This time Phil Jagielka leaps high above the City defence and his dipping header lands on the roof of Joe Hart's net.

    On Raheem Sterling's start at Man City: "I think he's done OK. The team's scored six goals. He should have scored at West Brom, but he's done OK. It's early days. The price tag is not his fault, that's what you have to pay this day and age. I want to see more goals and assists."

    "Very good game so far. Everton's fans were getting slightly frustrated at the lack of threat despite lots of possession but the last few minutes have offered some hope. 

    "John Stones has been immaculate so far but Manchester City carry a constant threat of menace through the magic of David Silva and Sergio Aguero."

    This is a decent game. Manchester City respond to Seamus Coleman's effort by storming up field, Raheem Sterling letting fly from 20 yards and forcing Tim Howard to turn the ball behind.

    Like Newcastle United at Manchester United on Saturday, Everton have weathered an early storm and now look dangerous.

    Seamus Coleman cuts in from the wing, passes Raheem Sterling before fizzing a low shot just wide of the post.

    It's enough to get Everton's fans out of their seats. Encouraging for the hosts.

    "Lukaku needs crosses into that box. There's no point hitting crosses from straight areas. They need width and to get behind Man City and to get balls into the box from there."

    The rain continues to fall and play has become bogged down in midfield. Romelu Lukaku has managed to find the net but the Everton player is a yard or so offside.

    Joe Hart is forced into his first serious save as Ross Barkley unleashes from 20 yards. It's comfortable for the City keeper but Everton have settled after City's frantic start and are starting to assert themselves.

    So close...

    City are hungry for goals and Raheem Sterling narrowly fails to divert David Silva's ball across the Toffees box into the net.

    No one is more relieved than Arouna Kone who had the ball whipped off his feet by Jesus Navas in the build-up.

    "Everton striker Romelu Lukaku gave Manchester City's Eliaquim Mangala a fearful going over in this game here last season and the defender was given a reminder of the Belgian's power when he shrugged him aside to win a footrace for the ball. 

    "Lukaku was unplayable when scoring twice in Everton's 3-0 win at Southampton last weekend and manager Roberto Martinez will hope for more of the same."

    Everton transfer target Ramiro Funes Mori is getting his first taste of the Goodison Park atmosphere.

    The defender is in the crowd with a Toffees scarf wrapped around neck. He is expected to complete a £6m move from River Plate in the next few days.

    Another chance for Manchester City. Another save by the legs of Tim Howard.

    This time Jesus Navas and David Silva combine before a cut-back for Sergio Aguero whose low shot from inside the area cannons off the Everton keeper.
