    At this moment in time Spurs are looking like lambs to the slaughter. They haven't put two passes togeether.

    It was a great block from Eric Dier but it was so easy for City to get in from a throw.

    The touch. The turn. The speed.

    Simply delightful football from Phil Foden, who earns his side a free-kick. Spurs can't handle him.

    Kevin de Bruyne will have a chance to whip in the set-piece from the right... but it's cleared.

    Sounds of anxiety and frustration coming from the Spurs fans already as Manchester City take ominous control in these early stages at Wembley.

    Spurs can hardly get on the ball as City pin them back.

    This is relentless from City.

    It's bodies on the line stuff as Eric Dier throws himself in front of a shot to prevent a near-certain goal, but the ball just keeps on coming back.

    Raheem Sterling then tries to control a Riyad Mahrez cross, but his heavy touch sends the ball out for a goal-kick.

    Phil Foden is getting better and better and better. Gareth Southgate must be delighted with the form he is in. He is absolutely full of confidence.

    Spurs cannot get out, they are penned in.

    City force a corner but Spurs do just enough to get rid.

    Surely Tottenham can't continue like this for long.

    It's clear something has got to change, as Kevin de Bruyne just runs out of pitch as he chases a throughball.

    Man City 0-0 Tottenham

    Plenty of discussions going on among the Spurs players, and Ryan Mason is barking instructions from the edge of his technical area.

    It's all City so far - and their fans behind the Spurs goal are really enjoying themselves so far.

    Nitsuh: Would have been much more watchable with Mourinho at the helm, as no matter what you say he's a big miss purely for entertainment.

    Ben: Fans in the stadium. It's just so beautiful

    Robin: If Sterling plays that first time to Foden its 1-0. 4 mins in and I'm already frustrated with Raheem

    Out of possession Manchester City are set up as a 4-4-2 with Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden as the strikers.

    Raheem Sterling, possible the shortest player in the Spurs penalty area, heads just over from a cross.

    Tottenham are living very dangerously.

    Lovely work by Joao Cancelo on the left to beat his man.

    He feeds in Raheem Sterling, who is able to find his way into the penalty area, but Phil Foden sends his cut-back just wide.

    The pressure is building on the Spurs goal...

    Fingers crossed that is the case, Darren.

    Here come City again, this time down the right hand side, but Kyle Walker is unable to pick out the run of Riyad Mahrez.

    Chants of 'Ryan Mason, he's one of our own' can be heard around Wembley.

    His side haven't seen much of the ball yet and they're almost caught out by the speed of Raheem Sterling - but Serge Aurier recovers well to deny the England forward.

    Perfect conditions at Wembley, and the 8,000 in the stands are making themselves heard in the early stages.

    Kevin de Bruyne appears to have taken up the false nine role for City, who are knocking the ball around nicely.

    Pep is saying "I want to win this trophy."

    He's not thinking about the Champions League. Harry Kane being fit for Spurs means the opportunity is there. The players in the tunnel standing next to him will think they have a real chance.

    Manchester City can exploit Tottenham's backline, that's been a problem all season, Jose couldn't fix it.

    There's no surprise that the Spurs fans are chanting 'Levy out' - they were horrified with the thought of the Super League. These owners have been called out, they should have been called out.
