  • 9' What a moment for Ibrahima Konate! That strike on 9 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 14' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Andrew Robertson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 17' The Senegal Sadio Mane breaks the deadlock on 17 minutes. 0-2!
  • 22' Portugal international Joao Cancelo has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 27' Manchester City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 28' Controversy at the stadium! Gabriel Jesus argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Fabinho on 37 minutes.
  • 42' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pep Guardiola might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 45' Magnificent from Sadio Mane! That is 110 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

  • 61' That is a Yellow card for Liverpool FC. Sadio Mane will be fuming at that decision.
  • 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Diogo Jota suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' Manchester City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
