City are starting to play with a real swagger. Another good passing move ends at Kevin de Bruyne - his shot from 25 yards is parried by Bernd Leno and Kyle Walker was offside as he tried to follow it up.

A huge let-off for Arsenal. Kevin de Bruyne shoots from the edge of the box, Bernd Leno spills it and just about gathers as David Silva tries to go round him and tap it into an empty net.

The next goal is so important. If Arsenal can get Ozil or Ramsey on the ball they could change things but on City's bench, I see Sane warming up and we know how effective he is.

David Silva puts the free-kick into the wall. Arsenal clear but City end up winning the ball back and Silva's cross is out of play for a goal-kick.

Arsenal have gained 12 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, only Leicester have gained more (13) - however they have only gained one point from losing positions in away games.

City have a free-kick as Laurent Koscielny fouls Sergio Aguero.

Not sure your children will care too much about PFA awards in the 2010s to be honest

City had already scored at this stage of the first half. Kevin de Bruyne gets the ball in the box but can't get a shot in.

Manchester City have gone on to win in 27 of their last 28 home Premier League games when they have led at half-time.

Can Arsenal do anything about that? Second half is under way.

At the age of 24 years and 57 days, Raheem Sterling is the seventh youngest player in Premier League history to be involved in 100 goals (59 goals, 41 assists).

Sergio Aguero has been directly involved in 26 goals in his last 15 Premier League home starts (21 goals, five assists).

What a way to give Etihad Stadium a far more relaxed atmosphere for the half-time interval.

A brilliantly constructed goal finished by Sergio Aguero has settled the nerves and put Pep Guardiola's side back in control - but Arsenal have created problems and are not out of this.

Manchester United

Manchester United's Jesse Lingard, speaking to MOTD: "We knew it was going to be tough but we are going to get games like this where we are going to have to grind out matches."

On United's top-four chances: "For us now we take every game as it comes. We work well in the week and when it comes to match-day we're looking to get three points.

On the mood inside the dressing room: "Everyone is enjoying playing football."

Leicester City

Leicester City boss Claude Puel, speaking to MOTD: "I think it's a big shame. In the second half we showed a lot of things with more desire and quality in our play.

"We started the game with a poor performance and without intensity. It was a shame. I think United also didn't start very well but we didn't take our responsibility enough.

"When we push we can hurt them and we can have chances. Too many times we have changed the game because we have conceded early.

"We put them under pressure at the end of the game but it was not enough."

On bringing James Maddison off: "We have some possibility on the bench. Rachid Ghezzal can give the right pass and good assist and can make a difference. We have to find a solution. We have players on the bench who have quality."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, asked about his record of nine wins in 10 games as interim boss: "When you come to Manchester United you don't think you are going into game without a chance of winning.

"We rode our luck a little bit. Everyone has played and everyone has given me a headache."

Here's some reaction from the earlier game.

Richard Gardner: Supporting Arsenal is a real rollercoaster because we have to be at least three goals up to be comfortable.

Michael Reid: I bet you if you done a highlight reel of City's goals this season, 80% of them would be a run down the wing, whip into the box followed by a tap-in. Splitting teams open all season!

Give this post a thumbs-up if you had Sergio Aguero as your fantasy football captain this week.

City lead at the break. Just about.
