    Man City 1-0 Swansea

    Manchester City come forward again. Raheem Sterling is given space on the right side of the box - Swansea can't afford to do that - and he slides the ball across the face of goal. Gabriel Jesus looks certain to poke it but a sliding challenge puts it out for a corner, from which Yaya Toure mis-hits his shot and skews wide.

    Simon Goodall: City will just keep attacking and attacking. Goal difference is going to be vital. Should be cracking viewing this.

    Johnny Magrinho: Jesús' off the ball movement is fantastic. He's a machine. Not hard to see how his enthusiasm has seemingly galvanised City

    Wayne Routledge is in nosebleed territory. He gets the ball midway inside the Manchester City half but has no support and gets crowded out by City players.

    Man City 1-0 Swansea

    Yaya Toure pings a free kick towards the top left corner but Lukasz Fabianski pulls off a wonderful diving save to palm it away. 

    Swansea will be happy to have got halfway through this half just one goal down.

    Sorry, I'm just getting slightly distracted by an almighty scrap in the Huddersfield-Leeds game. Huddersfield have just scored in the last minute to lead 2-1 and a big scuffle ensued with both teams' managers getting sent off. Drama.

    David Silva once again slices right through the Swansea defence before whipping in a cross for Gabriel Jesus. This time, Leroy Fer is well placed to hook clear.

    Just look at that. Every Manchester City player is either in Swansea's half or on the halfway line.

    Swansea, by contrast, have just one player in City's half.

    Gabriel Jesus could have had a hat-trick by now. He's been sensational. 

    He's not afraid to get the ball to his feet. He's been in the right place at the right time

    Swansea resemble a rabbit in the headlights. City have dominated them.

    What's Gabriel Jesus' price in Fantasy Football? Expect a clamour to get him into teams. He looks the real deal.

    Manchester City want this game wrapped up nice and early. There's no  let up as they pursue a second.

    It's funny how some clubs get better results at certain grounds compared to others.

    Since they got promoted in 2011, Swansea have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United twice away from home in all competitions. In addition, they have recorded one win at Chelsea.

    But at the Etihad Stadium? Played 5, lost 5, scored 2 conceded 13.

    Jake Crolla: Fernandinho slotting into right back when Man City don't have the ball. Solid.

    Pablo Wanchope: Classic Pep, messing with a winning side. Hoping Ferna is RB, otherwise, reckon same outcome to the other home draws this year.

    GOAL - Man City 1-0 Swanseapublished at 11 mins

    Gabriel Jesus

    What a start for Manchester City!

    David Silva makes it with some great persistence, wriggling his way into the box from the left before crossing for Raheem Sterling. The ball is just behind the forward but Gabriel Jesus charges in to smash home.

    The first of many at the Etihad for him?

    Man City 0-0 Swansea

    Big penalty shout for Manchester City. 

    Alfie Mawson is all over Gabriel Jesus in the area and eventually the Manchester City forward tumbles to the floor. Referee Mike Dean has the perfect view of it and... no penalty.

    Is it four at the back for Manchester City? Fernandinho seems to be playing right-back. Interesting with Pablo Zabaleta on the bench. 

    "Come on City!" chant the home crowd. They want an early goal.

    Now Gabriel Jesus gets his first chance to show what he can do as he brings down Leroy Sane's cross but is too quick to pull the trigger and lashes well over.

    That front five of Manchester City's are going to give Swansea's defence all sorts of headaches. Immediately they are swarming all over the visitors' back line and combine to create the game's first chance as Raheem Sterling plays a one-two with David Silva to put Sterling clear, but he can't keep the ball in play.
