Sergio Aguero is almost in on goal but Andrew Robertson does really well to come across and win it on the cover.

At the other end Sadio Mane finds Mo Salah with a backheel, his cross comes to nothing but seconds later he beats Kyle Walker and stabs wide.

Great game so far!

Liverpool are fast starters at Anfield and the stadium is a cauldron of noise as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's low drive makes the breakthrough.

Pep Guardiola is impassive in his technical area - early days but this was a fixture that always had a hint of danger for the previously unbeaten Premier League leaders.

No opposing manager has beaten Pep Guardiola more often than Jurgen Klopp in all competitions (4, level with Jose Mourinho).

I like Emre Can - he seems to control games in the middle of the park. He's had the most touches out of everybody so far, and he's really making it count.

Jay: The Ox proving again that Arsene can no longer put people in their best position.

Amrul: I wonder how Wenger feels after Ox scores in a big game?

Teh: The Ox strikes! Coutin-who?

Burnley and Bristol City both took the lead against Manchester City in the last week. Pep Guardiola's side won't be panicking just yet.

Kevin de Bruyne leads an attack up field but Raheem Sterling strays offside.

Ar Vind: Liverpool are Man City’s last frontier. If they win today, the title is as good as won.

It's brilliant from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Roberto Firmino does well to lay him off, and Oxlade-Chamberlain drives into space and unleashes a shot from range, and Ederson has no chance, it's right in the bottom corner, fantastic finish. What a start for Liverpool!

Good opening from Liverpool - they've had the best chance from Sadio Mane. It doesn't look like either side will be parking the bus today, both sides are looking to use their pacey wide men.

That was more dive than foul, no chance of it being a penalty and ref Andre Marriner gave nothing at all. Loris Karius is back in the side today and he makes a hash of clearing a routine looking backpass.

We're all feeling goals aren't we? I've sat through enough rubbish matches between the big sides in recent years though. Good start at Anfield, nice tempo to the game still.

Raheem Sterling is booed at every touch so far and he's on the floor inside the penalty area after a good ball in to him from Kevin de Bruyne.

Foul? Dive?

Ash: Arguably the hottest two current attacking sides in the Premier League on show. Man City unbeaten with the best defensive record in the league, Liverpool unbeaten at home and have the best defensive record at home. This will either turn out a bore 0-0 draw or a 10-9 win.

Fantastic move from Liverpool, they're patient play in the middle of the park almost paid off. Sadio Mane just couldn't quite bring the ball under control, if he had, he'd have had a great shooting opportunity.

Half chance! Roberto Firmino helps the ball over the top and Sadio Mane is running in free behind John Stones. He can't quite get the ball to settle down and get a shot away though. Mo Salah does shoot, blocked by Stones. But that was almost a very good opening for Liverpool.

It's started at such a fast pace - both sides want to press the ball. Liverpool's front four are flying at Man City's backline, but City are so composed, they're just knocking it about confidently.

The game starts in predictably rapid fashion. Manchester City have all of the early ball but they are being pressed to within an inch of their lives by this hard-working Liverpool front three.

Manchester City turned the sides around by the way so Liverpool are attacking the Kop in this first half.

That minute's applause segued neatly into a refrain of YNWA. Nice.

Away we go!
