Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Manchester City FC kicks off things out of here…
5' Manuel Ugarte, a Uruguay , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' Morocco international Noussair Mazraoui has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
14' Manchester United FC make a change. Mason Mount trudges off to be replaced by Kobbie Mainoo on 14 minutes.
19' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Manchester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
24' Lisandro Martinez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 164 appearances.
29' It looks surprising Manchester United FC does not make any changes. Ilkay Gundogan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
34' 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 Bernardo Silva suffering a number of foals already.
36' A goal from the Croatia international Josko Gvardiol! He fires home on 36 to make it 1-0!
40' It’s a booking for Manchester United FC player. Rasmus Hojlund gets a card.
45' Manchester United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
50' named a 4-1-4-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
55' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester City FC and Manchester United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
65' A quiet spell here at Etihad Stadium. Manchester United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
68' Manchester City FC make a change. Kevin De Bruyne trudges off to be replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 68 minutes.
73' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
77' Fresh legs for Manchester City FC! Jack Grealish comes on to replace Jeremy Doku.
78' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Rasmus Hojlund exits the field as Joshua Zirkzee enters on 78.
79' Leny Yoro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matthijs de Ligt at the 79 minute mark.
84' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ruben Amorim might look to freshen things up shortly.
88' Bruno Fernandes has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 88 minutes.
89' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 89 minute. Ilkay Gundogan leaves to be changed by Savio.
90' What a moment for Amad Diallo! That strike on 90 puts his side firmly in control.
