Chants of 'come on City' ring out around the Etihad as the hosts push forward.

Gael Clichy wins a corner off Sadio Mane and it drops deep to the back post, but Sergio Aguero can't connect as Ragnar Klavan mops up.

Yep.

There we go. Bacary Sagna on for Yaya Toure. Fernandinho into midfield.

Yaya Toure looks shattered. He looks out on his feet.

Liverpool are finding all sorts of gaps in the City defence, Sadio Mane the man in space in the area this time before John Stones pinches the ball off him.

Pep Guardiola looks like he's going to make a change. Bacary Sagna is ready to come on.

I reckon it's Yaya Toure who's coming off - he looks exhausted.

That's the first time Raheem Sterling has had a chance to run at his man and he drives into the box before being crowded out.

But Liverpool break quickly and Philippe Coutinho slips a clever pass through to Roberto Firmino in the box.

Willy Caballero dashes out to block his shot.

City need to get the ball to Sane. He caused Clyne all sorts of trouble in the first half.

Liverpool are looking like the side in control. Is that Champions League clash in midweek catching up with City?

David Silva is the man doing the running as Pep Guardiola's side look to press the Liverpool back four.

David Goodman: That would be given as a foul anywhere else on the pitch. It's a foul in the box too. Penalty

Nii: Yes it was a penalty. We playing association football and not kung-fu fighting.

Jon Evans: Oliver is showing himself up as a ref again. That wasn't a penalty and wrong decisions first half. No Nigel Owens.

That was a free header. Stones should have scored.

Might have even been John Stones with the header, City players were lining up unmarked...

Yaya Toure is caught dallying on the ball this time and Adam Lallana nips in. He looks to put Sadio Mane away, but Gael Clichy recovers.

This game is stretched now.

An attempted back pass for Liverpool then goes straight out for a City corner. Nicolas Otamendi gets to the front post, but his header falls wide.

Manchester City's players were continuing the debate with referee Michael Oliver long after James Milner completed the formalities - Pep Guardiola's side need to be careful not to lose their composure here.

So how do City respond to that?

They're straight back on the attack as Yaya Toure looks to feed a ball through to Raheem Sterling, but that's blocked by Ragnar Klavan.

David Silva, meanwhile, has talked himself into a booking following that penalty.

What was Clichy doing? He switched off and then threw himself into the back of Firmino.

Liverpool go closest early in the second half.

Adam Lallana finds space to the right of the box and his cutback reaches Sadio Mane near the penalty spot.

The Liverpool forward gets a shot off, but John Stones is there to deflect it over for a corner.

Sergio Aguero gets the second half under way.

No changes for either side.
