A forced change for Liverpool as James Milner slowly walks off, seemingly having pulled something, and on comes Nat Phillips.

Ilkay Gundogan, on his left foot, has a good chance running on to Kevin de Bruyne's pull-back but it is a good save with his feet from Caomhin Kelleher.

Nathan Ake then has a go for the hosts from another superb De Bruyne cross, this one from deep. The Dutch defender is free, flings himself at it and again Kelleher makes an excellent save, diving full stretch to his left and getting two hands to it to push it away.

It's a little bit messy at the moment, both sides are giving the ball away easily because the other team are working so hard to win it back.

Rodri is not too happy with Fabio Carvalho, shoving the Liverpool man. Soon after we get our first booking of the night with Stefan Bajcetic bringing down Cole Palmer.

Mohamed Salah runs at the Manchester City defence inside the penalty area but Rodri does enough to just about deal with it. Solid defending.

Decent goalkeeping from a jumping Caomhin Kelleher to deal with a free-kick and he tries to launch a quick counter attack but his long clearance is too long and just ends up in the hands of Stefan Ortega in the opposite goal.

There has just been a real row in front of me after a Liverpool fan in the corporate seats celebrated his side's equaliser.

A couple of City fans side to his left were calling on stewards, fairly bluntly, to get rid of him.

The calls went unheeded, much to the annoyance of the City fan. Now the Liverpool supporters are winding that fan up.

Very loud and aggressive.

Erling Haaland with a diving header from Riyad Mahrez's flick-on, but the Norwegian just can't get a proper final touch.

Mahrez had started the move on the right touchline, cut inside and played it far left for Cole Palmer and the youngster nearly helped create a goal.

They're back in it. Liverpool were brave, they got six players in the box.

They gambled, got themselves into a good area and scored a simple tap-in because they were brave.

Sean McGreal: That’s poor from Darwin Nunez. Should have been able to stay onside.

Liverpool's Darwin Nunez hits a post after being played in by Mohamed Salah, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway as the assistant's flag is up and it's offside.

The fear for Manchester City's rivals heading into the World Cup was that a fully rested Erling Haaland could cause massive damage after the restart.

Ten minutes gone and his seasonal tally is now up to 24 goals.

It's been a difficult start for Liverpool but the truth is Manchester City deserve it.

Patient, patient, patient play. Erling Haaland does so well, he goes out of the eyeline of the defenders and before you know it he's across you.

A perfect centre forward's goal.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had his head in his hands at that Cole Palmer miss.

The youngster just couldn't get his feet sorted out quickly enough to get his shot on target.

Guardiola, meanwhile, is a bit irritated at the way his team are using the ball. Not quickly enough seems to be the suggestion.

So close to the opener for Cole Palmer. The 20-year-old gets on the end of a cross from Erling Haaland, but he can't score. Big, big chance.

Palmer just couldn't sort his feet out in time though, nearly falls over when shooting and it's miles wide. If it had been the other way around with Palmer crossing for Haaland you'd expect it to be 1-0.

It's a game of basketball at the moment. It's been a very good start and a very fast start to the game.
