27 mins: Chance! The game at the Etihad is positively sedate in comparison to the action at Anfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold has a shot blocked from the edge of the box but the rebound comes back to him. He sends it back to Jordan Henderson who flicks it over to the back post. Andy Robertson meets it on the volley and fires his effort over the crossbar!

24 mins: Equaliser! This is world-class from Thiago. Ibrahima Konate carries the ball through midfield and passes it up to Thiago Alcantara. Before the ball arrives he has a look and spots Conor Coady stepping up in an attempt to play Sadio Mane offside. Thiago backheels the ball round the corner and gets it to Mane and the flag stays down. Mane dribbles into the box and slots it past Jose Sa to bring Liverpool back on level terms.

23 mins: Aston Villa have been pretty solid off the ball but when they regain possession they’re finding it really difficult to play out. Man City win a corner that Robin Olsen plucks out of the air.

21 mins: There’s a stoppage at Anfield as Pedro Neto has gone down off the ball. It looks like he’s aggrivated his old injury and Bruno Lage knows he can’t play on.

Hwang Hee-chan is quickly stripped and Wolves make the substitution.

18 mins: Chance! It’s almost 2-0 to Wolves after Ruben Neves threads the ball over to Pedro Neto who’s made a decent run in behind Trent Alexander-Arnold. He carries the ball into the left side of the box and passes it through the legs of Joel Matip. Leander Dendoncker makes his way in behind the centre-back and whips his first-time shot wide of the near post!

16 mins: City win a corner kick that is curled into the six-yard box where Robin Olsen confidently punches it away. Bernardo Silva attempts to feed it back into the box but Emiliano Buendia closes the ball down well before feeding it across to John McGinn who runs it clear and kick starts an Aston Villa counter attack.

13 mins: Liverpool are really stepping it up. Trent Alexander-Arnold fires a cross in from the right and the ball bounces up striking Conor Coady on the hand. There’s an appeal for handball as Willy Boly scuffs his clearance to Naby Keita. Keita shoots but Coady deflects it behind for a corner.

Liverpool aren’t awarded a penalty and the corner ball is swung into the middle. Joel Matip wins the header and nods it into the ground where it bounces up kindly to be claimed by Jose Sa.

11 mins: The game at the Etihad Stadium has paused after Calum Chambers belted the ball into Lucas Digne’s face. He went down and knocked his head on the ground and needs a bit of treatment.

9 mins: Chance! How have Liverpool not scored? Joel Matip brings the ball into midfield and dinks it over to Luis Diaz who makes a fine run between the lines. Diaz may have been offside but the flag stays down and he taps the ball into the box. He gets to it before Jose Sa and knocks it away from the goalkeeper. Sa collides with the forward and both players go down. Liverpool want a penalty but don’t get the decision. Why did Diaz not shoot earlier?

5 mins: Chance! Manchester City will be aware of the opening goal at Anfield but that won’t affect how they play. They’ve started quickly as Joao Cancelo drives the ball down the left wing before cutting inside of Matty Cash. He shifts the ball onto his right foot and shoots from just inside the box but Calum Chambers puts in the block to deny him.
