    Can West Ham get a set-piece or throw men forward and get an equaliser? They have got an opportunity to come away with an unlikely point if they really believe it.

    I think the only man more animated than Pep Guardiola is Slaven Bilic. 

    West Ham have a corner. Lanzini delivers but it is headed away at the near post.

    Richard: Clear elbow from Aguero goes unpunished. How surprising. Mike Dean appears to be the only ref willing to make big calls.

    Paul Iummis: So I trust that the FA will be inviting Aguero to spend 3 games observing City from the touchline for that elbow

    Colin: Time for City to plan for three games without Aguero.

    We could well hear more about that Aguero elbow, especially if it wasn't spotted by any official, which surely must be the case. David Silva tries to find the Argentina striker on the edge of the box but his ball is too hard.

    Eddie: Elbow in Reid's face by Aguero...retrospective action coming up depending on whether the media show the replays

    Seth Gogo Egoeh:  How did Aguero escape red card for elbowing an opponent? The inconsistency in officiating is becoming unbecoming.  

    Si Banstead: Aguero better hope the linesman or fourth official saw that or he deffo wont play in the derby.

    Winston Reid can't continue. He is replaced by Jonathan Calleri - a forward. That dictates a switch to a back four.

    I think Sergio Aguero is quite fortunate. It looks like Aguero swung his arm and it caught Winston Reid in the face. It's been missed but the question is will it be looked at after the game? It's hard to say if it's intentional.

    Sergio, you lucky boy. Aguero has lashed out with an elbow on Winston Reid. He clocked him in the throat as well. Clearly the ref didn't see that or it would surely have been ta ra lad.

    Samir Nasri is going to get some minutes on the pitch. Guardiola wasn't very complimentary about his fitness at the start of the season. He looks like he's done some work to fix that. He still has an interesting hair colour, though. Nolito departs.

    West Ham spurn a good opportunity to break as Mark Noble plays a blinder to pass to where he thinks Manuel Lanzini has run. Unfortunately for the Hammers, Lanzini had stopped running.

    A few City players looking a bit frustrated now, in stark contrast to the first half when they were all rainbows and kittens.

    You can just see the belief in West Ham in this second half. You sense they feel they can get an equaliser and Michail Antonio is causing problems.

    West Ham have upped the tempo. They have been better and the changes Slaven Bilic has made have helped. It's a completely different game.

    Sergio Aguero is seeing more of the ball this half. He breaks down the left and sends over a low cross that deflects towards goal off Sam Byram but is saved by Adrian. Just 20 minutes to go. Game in the balance.

    Kheis Daar: Joe hart must have celebrated silently to Antonio's bullet header  

    Francis Edwards: Why don't you people get it? Hart isn't playing because he is not in Pep's plans. Bravo will be number one. Hart is average!

    City are starting to look a bit ragged at times. They try to play the ball across the back but make a hash of it and almost gift West Ham a chance to break on goal.

    The zip has gone out of City's play. They aren't moving it as sharp. 

    Since John Stones has gone off, Nicolas Otamendi or Aleksandar Kolarov aren't stepping into midfield and they haven't got that extra man.

    Oh, almost 3-1. Kevin de Bruyne finds Sergio Aguero on the edge of the box and the Argentina striker buys himself a yard before firing in to the side netting. There is the danger for West Ham. All about risk v reward now.

    Off goes Enner Valencia and on comes Manuel Lanzini. Suddenly, West Ham are on top. They win a corner, which briefly causes panic in the box before Noble floats an attempted cross wide.

    The away fans are the ones making the noise now.

    Tom Mason: That's what happens when you put a guy in goal who can kick instead of a guy who can play in goal, Pep

    Richard Parfitt: Very polite of Caballero to duck out of the way for West Ham there. If only City had a better keeper.

    Carl Newton: Caballero is worse than Hart with his feet & watched/flapped at that cross.

    John Stones looks to have picked up an eye injury. He departs to be replaced by Aleksandar Kolarov.

    It was fantastic wing play. The ball was stood up to the back post. A fantastic ball by Arthur Masuaka. 

    Gael Clichy didn't even know Michail Antonio was there. Caballero was rooted and he puts it into the open net. 

    It's all very well looking good going forward but first and foremost full-backs have to defend. Clichy didn't jump. Great goal for West Ham.
