A few of you are asking why they are so many inflatable bananas in the crowd tonight. Well, they have a place in Manchester CIty folklore, and former player Imre Varadi in particular.

Shohidur Rahman: Everton better go through tonight. As a United fan I can't have a Liverpool vs City final.
Mark Taylor: From Man U fans everywhere. Come on you Toffees. Things are bad enough at the moment without City getting to the final

The manner in which Everton's Gerard Deulofeu took the City defence to the cleaners in that early foot race will surely have been noted by manager Roberto Martinez.
Deulofeu can be inconsistent but is hugely gifted - and has the pace to make life very difficult.
Man City 0-0 Everton (Agg: 1-2)
City with a strong spell of possession, patiently working for an opening. Yaya Toure then goes for the big ball over the top and it almost frees Raheem Sterling but Joel Robles is able to sweep up.

"That was a magnificent run from Gerard Deulofeu. He should have played it to Ross Barkley or Romelu Lukaku though."
Man City 0-0 Everton (Agg: 1-2)
Entertaining and open game so far. Both sides look vulnerable in defence, it's the Premier League way. Should mean goals.
Raheem Sterling is playing right up front alongside Sergio Aguero.

John Stones plays a slightly dicey pass across his own penalty area and Phil Jagielka has to stretch to get there. But then Everton counter, Gerard Deulofeu gets clear down the right and absolutely sears past Martin Demichelis, brilliant wing play.
Get your head up and find a man! He can't though - corner.

"Yaya Toure is in a defensive midfield role. Raheem Sterling is supporting Sergio Aguero in attack."
Man City 0-0 Everton (Agg: 1-2)
My three at the back, Leighton Baines in midfield theory for Everton is utter nonsense. John Stones is at right-back in a back four.
City have lined up with Yaya Toure in a deep role and Raheem Sterling up front.

Plenty of fireworks in the build-up to kick-off, and let's hope we have some out on the pitch now. Here we go!

"I think Yaya Toure wouldn't be here under Pep Guardiola. I see him as a different sort of 10 to David Silva. Silva is the best 10 in the league, just ahead of Arsenal's Mesut Ozil. Next season, Guardiola will probably go for the youthful fluidity of three behind Sergio Aguero."

Here they come, fireworks welcome the sides out on to the Etihad pitch, City led by Yaya Toure.
Robbie Savage says on 5 live that if Pep Guardiola is in charge of City next season he expects Yaya to move on. That would be the end of an era...

Here we go then, the players are lining up in the tunnel at a filling Etihad.
The Everton fans are in magnificent voice...

Courtney Brown: I am annoyed at Hart being dropped/rested. We need our best keeper in such a crucial game. That said, @MCFC, external to win 3-1
Joel Ike Ikechi: Left to me I really want an all Merseyside final, so I'm backing Everton to win tonight.
'Significant pressure'
Image source, Getty ImagesThe near universal viewpoint of all of my fellow Evertonian friends and family is that Martinez has the most gifted Everton side since the 80s, yet we are underperforming significantly. The atmosphere at Goodison against Swansea shows the significant pressure he is now under.

Gerard Deulofeu put in some absolutely brilliant crosses for Everton during the closing stages of their defeat to Swansea the other day, and he was visibly annoyed that nobody had smashed them in.
Is he the best 'old-fashioned' winger in England?

Mark Savile: Never usually want to see Everton win but would rather face them in the final
Kris Jefferson: Hart been the savior of Man City many a time this season, Everton to win with Barkley/Lukaku/Deulofeu against that City back 5
So the Liverpool Echo reporter says that John Stones "plays like a man twice his age". Not really what you want in a centre half - he would be 42!
