Kyle Walker, a substitute, walked out with his hood on - it's not raining but it's a bit nippy. You're supposed to keep your head, neck and feet warm when it's cold - apparently.

Eric Garcia attempted (61) and completed (58) more passes than any other player in the first half.

Man City have failed to score a first-half goal in six of their last eight home Premier League games - having scored five in the opening half against Watford in September, they have since managed just four first-half goals in eight home league matches.

That was rubbish aside from the VAR drama.

Thank goodness for VA...

Yerry Mina gets his head to the ball but it's over the bar.

HT coming up.

The City fans around me are distinctly unimpressed by the announcement there will only be two minutes of added time after those lengthy VAR delays earlier.

Mahrez is faced with less of an easy task, as the ball surprisingly pops up in front of him in the six-yard area - but under pressure from Lucas Digne, he doesn't produce anything of note.

Gabriel Jesus sets up Riyad Mahrez, whose first time side-foot shot from 12 yards is a couple of feet wide of Jordan Pickford's right-hand upright.

Both he, his team-mates, Pep Guardiola, his staff, the stadium staff, the opposition, and their team, the spectators in the ground and those watching around the world know that should have, at least, hit the target.

Seamus Coleman's early shot remains the only touch Everton have had in the City area in the first 40 minutes and his side's only effort at goal, but the Toffees have done a pretty good job of keeping the home side quiet at the other end too.

Carlo Ancelotti has packed the middle of the pitch and there is no way through the middle for City - Benjamin Mendy and his rampaging runs forward down the left remain their best attacking outlet as we approach the break.

It's all a bit beige 2010s music so far - angsty, piano-driven songs that played together are indistinguishable.

Phil Foden goes for glory on the angle - but it's a bit airy, to the displeasure of Gabriel Jesus who was hoping for a cross.

Riyad Mahrez is flagged offside - very legit this time.

BTW - that Gabriel Jesus effort earlier was the latest City have had to wait for their first shot in a home Premier League game since the match against Liverpool in January 2019 (28th minute back then).

It results in Ilkay Gundogan smacking a dipping shot which Jordan Pickford deals with.

Riyad Mahrez wakes the crowd from their slumber with an angled strike that forces Jordan Pickford to produce a good block at his near post.

Corner.

And another!

Gabriel Jesus, who has scored five goals against the Toffees in his past four outings, fires an effort over the bar from the edge of the area.

No pen.

Man City 0-0 Everton

A lot of VARing just now.

Riyad Mahrez runs into the area and is possibly pulled down by Lucas Digne.

He is eventually flagged offside, but he isn't as the replays show.

A lot to take in here.

Smoke is coming out of the VAR machine.
