Tottenham's best effort of the first half. Some good work by Erik Lamela sees the ball fed to Harry Kane - he has to dig the ball out from under his feet on the edge of the box but still gets a shot away, which brings a diving save from Willy Caballero.

A decent spell of passing and possession by Spurs ends when Jan Vertonghen puts the ball out of play. They are getting Christian Eriksen on the ball more and more - but City are holding firm at the moment.

City threaten again, with Fernando's cross-shot forcing Hugo Lloris into action. Spurs are still trying to get back on level terms but their finishing remains, erm, unconvincing - Erik Lamela is their latest player to fail to find the target after blasting over from a Ben Davies cross.

Rabin: De Bruyne scored that goal, but its all about power and pace by Yaya.

Oladayo: Kevin De Bruyne - Money well spent so far.

Kevin Boissinot: Awful pass from Walker to allow City to break. Dreadful from Spurs.

That missed chance came at a bad time for Harry Kane. It's now been 12 hours since he scored his last competitive goal for Spurs.  

A decent chance for Tottenham, this, following Nicolas Otamendi's mistake. Harry Kane has the ball in a dangerous position, and he has support too, but elects to go for goal himself... and sees his shot from the edge of the box fly well wide. A waste - and there will be no end to his drought with finishing like that.

Here's that City goal in graphical form. What it doesn't show you is that there was a hint of offside about Kevin de Bruyne when he collected Yaya Toure's pass. Replays show the Belgian's toe was offside, at the very least, but the linesman did not flag.

This game has livened up since that goal... quite a bit too.

Tottenham look to hit back and Christian Eriksen finds Son Heung-min on the left of the area, and he forces a low save from Willy Caballero at his near post.

Then City come forward again with Raheem Sterling forcing Hugo Lloris into a sprawling stop.

Here's another example of how City are getting more men forward, albeit to little attacking effect so far. As BBC Radio 5 live's Jason Roberts has spotted, Man City right-back Bacary Sagna is playing high up the pitch.

In terms of possession, this game is still dead even at 50% each but most of the play is taking part in the Tottenham half, as you can see from this graphic showing the average position of touches by players from both sides.

City defender Nicolas Otamendi has had the measure of Son Heung-min so far, and makes another timely challenge here. Spurs have a corner, taken by Erik Lamela, but City clear.

"Manchester City right-back Bacary Sagna is in such an advanced position and Tottenham's Christian Eriksen is remaining honest and tracking back, which is why we are not seeing the Spurs midfielder on the ball as much."

As discussed, Sergio Aguero has a superb record against Spurs. He is out of luck this time, though, seeing his curling shot from 25 yards pushed away by Hugo Lloris.

Exactly 50% possession apiece so far, and both sides struggling to create chances. City have had the most recent attacks - with Yaya Toure's snap-shot rolling wide and Fernando's effort charged down by Eric Dier - but they are not exactly knocking on the door.

"Sergio Aguero has a ridiculous scoring record against Tottenham and it is interesting to see the intensity of the Spurs defenders when he gets the ball. But Tottenham need to be careful about their closing down in midfield and up front."

As for Spurs? Well Harry Kane has not had a shot yet, never mind a goal, but he is looking lively, beating Martin Demichelis very easily before being crowded out inside the area. The home side kept up a decent spell of pressure and Erik Lamela had their first effort at goal, but it was deflected wide.

The first shot of the game comes in the ninth minute, and City are behind it. Kevin De Bruyne lets fly from 25 yards out but his dipping effort bounces wide.
