"If he wants to be in the same conversation as the Vardys and the Kanes of this world, those are the kind of chances that Berahino needs to be burying."

West Brom full-back Craig Dawson puts in a dreamy cross that the best wingers in the world would have been proud of, right across the six-yard box. Saido Berahino stretches for it at the far post but can't connect.

The Baggies make a change - 16-year-old Jonathan Leko replaces goalscorer Stephane Sessegnon.

In a flash, City create a decent chance for Sergio Aguero. A quick free-kick by Yaya Toure sends the striker clear and Ben Foster has to make a good save with his legs to deny him a second goal of the evening.

Another big chance missed by Saido Berahino!

He looked a mile offside, but there was no flag against the West Brom forward. He took a touch and side-footed wide from eight yards.

Will Albion live to rue those misses? City perplexed at the assistant referee...

"There's still a chance there for West Brom. They've got to make sure their heads don't go down. They have to show character now."

Wow. A big, big chance for West Brom.

Saido Berahino plays a one-two with James Chester and beats the offside trap, but side-foots wide past Joe Hart's far post.

On another day, Berahino buries that and it's 2-2. City survive for now.

As things stand, Manchester City are going four points clear in the fourth and final Champions League spot.

However, Manchester United face Tottenham tomorrow and could close that gap again.

There's still time for a twist at the Etihad yet, though...

West Brom striker Saido Berahino does brilliantly to rob Eliaquim Mangala of possession near the corner flag and sets up a Baggies attack, which is quickly thwarted by an offside flag.

Make no mistake, Albion could snatch something from this game - more than just a point, as well.

Are Kevin de Bruyne and Yaya Toure the men to end Manchester City's malaise in this match? On they come for Wilfried Bony and Fabian Delph.

"It's a clumsy challenge from Mangala and nine times out of 10, they get given."

Another penalty appeal waved away by Mike Jones, this time it's the West Brom players left unhappy.

Eliaquim Mangala jumped clumsily into Sandro's back and the midfielder fell to the ground. Referee Jones was unmoved.

Pablo Zabaleta sums up Manchester City's day so far by slipping over as he attempts to control a short pass on the home side's right touchline.

Sergio Aguero has been holding and rubbing the side of his head for a few moments now, following an off-the-ball tussle with James Chester. One to keep an eye on, that...

Finally, a spark of life from the home side. Sergio Aguero finds a yard of space and fires in a shot from 30 yards, which Baggies goalkeeper Ben Foster tips behind for a corner.

Mike Stewart: Lots of guff about 'great' managers like Guardiola. If he can win the CL without spending millions, then he will be a 'great'.

Paul Strong: Why does Pellegrini persist with Bony? Maybe such stubbornness is why he is being replaced in the summer!

Juergen Bird: No KDB, no City. Why does Pellegrini 'rest' players for the CL? It's disrespectful to opposing teams, and provides bad results.

Man City have Yaya Toure, Kevin de Bruyne, Fernandinho and Kelechi Iheanacho on their bench if they wish to change things...

The second half is following the same pattern as the first, really. Manchester City have the ball - a lot - but seem to be short on ideas when they get to within 30 yards of the West Brom goal.

Manchester City goalscorer Sergio Aguero gets a painful kick on the toe from Jonny Evans and limps away.

He's back to his feet quickly, and no suggestion of any malice from the Albion defender.

Will, Stockport: City's av. attendance in PL this season is 53,900. The stadium holds 54,600. The ground is therefore 99% full on average. Out of interest this is the 3rd highest attendance in England and 8th in all of Europe this season. I can see how that must make Colin's blood boil.

Mary Begson: Colin - Barca had an average of 20,000 empty seats last season #justsayin  

GS: As a non attending ST holder one of those empty seats is mine. I spent the afternoon with my kids and played a game of squash instead. You need some perspective on life if you're getting that worked up over empty seats.
