The second half begins.

Can Leeds do themselves and Liverpool a big favour?

As things stand it's

1. Man City - 83 pts
2. Liverpool - 82 pts

City have won 19 of the last 20 Premier League matches they led at half-time.

The exception was the 2-2 home draw against Liverpool earlier this month.

Rhys: Leeds fans booing Tierney makes zero sense. If Tierney was doing his job properly Leeds would be worse off. Dallas injured himself with a needless lunge because Tierney was letting them get away with it.

Leeds are winless in their last 26 home Premier League games when behind at half-time (D6 L20) since a 4-3 win over Liverpool in November 2000.

City have won all eight Premier League away games when ahead at half-time this season.

More from Ray Lewington, speaking to Sky Sports: "I must admit you saw the fear factor that exists at this place, I don't know why because the crowd were terrific - it is a consequence of losing so many games that with the finish line in sight we kept getting deeper and deeper.

"Confidence was low when we got here, they were down the bottom and had not won for a long time, you could see it - we tried to get them better organised and they have done better in games, but we have missed some chances that you can't do in the Premier League and let in some sloppy goals, it is not a recipe to do well.

"They are devastated and we are basically playing for our pride now."

Boos for the officials as the half-time whistle goes.

So far, so good for City - albeit they're not very comfortable.

City have a free-kick for that Stuart Dallas foul on Jack Grealish. It's played into the box and Raheem Sterling has a shot blocked.

Standing ovation for Stuart Dallas as he's carried off on a stretcher. Daniel James replaces him.

They're taking a fair while to get him ready for the stretcher. "One Stuart Dallas" chant the home fans.

It's Daniel James who is going to come on.

The stretcher is on. Stuart Dallas' day is surely over. A second key injury for Leeds today including before kick-off.

Jack Grealish is up but Stuart Dallas looks in real pain. He's holding his leg and has a lot of worried team-mates around.

Jack Grealish and Stuart Dallas go in for a 50-50. Grealish gets the ball first and they both get clattered.

Long spell of City possession. They could do with a second to make things more comfortable.

Four minutes added on because of the head injuries.

Stuart Dallas thinks he's in down the right for Leeds, but he's penalised for the shove on Ilkay Gundogan that let him through.

Leeds escape big time. Luke Ayling tries to play his way out of defence but mis-kicks it to Gabriel Jesus. He finds Raheem Sterling, whose shot is blocked. There's pinball and Leeds eventually clear.

City are going to have to tighten up. They're leaving so many spaces and Raphinha is finding the room. Every time Leeds come forward it looks like something might happen.
