Fernandinho with a Fernandinho foul on halfway, tripping Billy Sharp as he threatens to start a counter. Why do people get in such a twist about those sort of fouls? Part of the game.

Sharp then gets some space on the right, puts in a good low ball but it's well cut out before City counter and win a corner. Goos lively game.

Nothing of note happening at Goodison just yet. It looks cold though.

Aymeric Laporte will be breathing hard now. There's only been a few minutes gone but he'll already be thinking 'can I have that second wind please?'.

Zred: Pep Guardiola is a nightmare for fantasy managers! Just picked Sergio Aguero and captained him but Guardiola drops him!

Tackle! Jack O'Connell comes through the back of Raheem Sterling and takes man and ball. Leaves the England man in a heap. Brilliant challenge.

Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall on BBC Sussex: "A win tonight is key. It would take Albion 8 points clear with more winnable games to come.

"Then it would be a big ask for the Cherries who've won just 1 in 12 to get too many more wins. We must take our chances in the final 3rd."

Gerard Deulofeu can't connect with the header properly as the ball comes in from the right. Pepe Reina gathers it in and Villa immediately go up the other end.

The cut-back doesn't beat the first defender.

Manchester City will change between five and three at the back depending on whether they have the ball or not. They'll be comfortable either way will City.

Aaron Mooy slips it left to Bernardo but he skews his shot way wide of the left post. Decent chance that!

Bright start from the Saints in their pressure-washer yellow away kit. Michael Obafemi almost gets a turn and shot away but he runs out of grass.

Early pressing from Bournemouth high up the pitch. Brighton escape to win a throw-in but the Cherries shortly have possession in the middle.

Good energy this!

Looks like City have gone for a back three with Fernandinho, Laporte and Otamendi all in there. Matching up with the Blades.

Pepe Reina is making his home debut for Villa. During his time as a Liverpool player, the away stadium he kept the most Premier League clean sheets at was Villa Park (5).

Nice stat.

Under way!

Man City have made 74 changes to their starting XI in the Premier League this season - a league-high total. Seven changes tonight is their most for a Premier League game this term.

Fresh or rusty?

Here we go then. Six matches. Lots of goals please.

Sheffield United have been absolutely fantastic this season They've shown is the quality is good in the Championship and you can surprise the big boys. They might do it again tonight if they go about it the way they can. If everyone in red and white plays to their top ability, they'll give City a game tonight.

A few of the Watford players have come out this week to say what a great manager Nigel Pearson is.

Watford's previous bosses were coaches and he is a manager, which is what they needed.

Troy Deeney coming back obviously makes a big difference for them but they are not a bad team and were almost in a false position, whether that be through bad coaching, bad luck or injuries.

Now, I personally think they will be fine, finishing nice and safe.

If it's still as foggy as that picture you sent earlier Al, good luck being able to see any footie!

One of those nights where the mascots, all 10 of them, need a good warm-up on the touchlines. Just watch out for the water sprinklers, kids!

Sometimes a tight press box, as it is at Everton, has its pluses. Packed in like penguins.

Aaron: Manchester City are simply, at this point, trying to play spoiler to Liverpool's title records, not Liverpool's title bid. Laporte's return to shore up a leaky defence is too little, too late, you have to feel. The damage has been done.

Adam Oldroyd: Guardiola drops Aguero after scoring 5 goals in 2 games. Overprotective or canny management?
