Oh dear.

Ederson steams off his line to clear the ball, but it lands straight at Wayne Rooney's feet close to the half way line.

Rooney looks up and shoots, but his effort was closer to the Stretford End goal than the one behind Ederson.

Raheem Sterling has a pop from 30 yards out, but no problems for Jordan Pickford, who waves it over his crossbar.

For the first time, Ederson shows superb kicking by picking out Sergio Aguero deep in the Everton have.

The Toffees are on the back foot as the City striker wriggles this way and that.

He eventually passes it on to David Silva, who lays it on for namesake Bernardo Silva, but the Portuguese midfielder's shot bounces off the turf and off target.

City's last two crosses from the right have caused problems...

...to the fans sat in the front row at the other end of the pitch.

Bernardo Silva getting ready for City...

It is the Everton fans making all the noise in the Etihad Stadium.

"Everton, Everton, Everton," they sing.

City not posing much threat in the final third, their side are comfortable at the moment.

Another change for City.

John Stones is being taken off, on comes former Real Madrid man Danilo.

Manchester City are in danger of losing a proud record tonight.

The last time City lost their first home game in a top flight season was against Southampton in August 1989.

They have won their last 10 first home games going back to a 0-0 against Portsmouth in 2006.

In a flash, City come to life.

Kevin de Bruyne finds David Silva, who flicks the ball on for Raheem Sterling in the box.

Sterling steadies himself and shoots across goal, but the effort is blocked.

Confident keeping from Ederson, coming off his line to punch away Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick.

There was no player within two yards of him, so he could probably have caught it.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's first act is to send in a free-kick from the left after Raheem Sterling brought down Leighton Baines.

A change of system for Everton, who have switched from a back five to a back four.

Gaps for City to exploit?

Double change for Everton.

Ashley Williams, holding his back, is being replaced by Davy Klaassen.

Tom Davies is withdrawn for debutant Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Around £70m worth of talent sent on by Ronald Koeman.

Man City 0-1 Everton

Kevin de Bruyne's free-kick is straight into the wall, smashing Morgan Schneiderlin in the ribs.

That has winded the Frenchman.

Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye trips Raheem Sterling 25 yards out and City have a free-kick in a very dangerous position.

Dead centre...

From the evidence so far, Jordan Pickford's distribution is far superior to that of Ederson.

The Everton man finds Wayne Rooney with a flat, long ball field, but the former Manchester United man gives the ball away.

Has David Silva lost his powers since cutting all his hair off?

The Spaniard struck the post from close range when he should have scored in the first half and even mis-placed a pass.

Now he dribbles a low shot wide of Jordan Pickford's goal.

Phil Neville says "Everton cannot afford to sit back" but the Toffees are doing just that at the moment, allowing City to come on to them.

Will the Toffees come unstuck...?

This time Mason Holgate wins a battle with Leroy Sane, clearing the ball for a corner.

Sane, himself, puts the cross into the box, which is punched clear by Jordan Pickford.
