MANCHESTER CITY 3-0 LIVERPOOL

45 min: GOAL! WOW! What a blitzing this is turning out to be.

A deft one-two from Foden and De Bruyne and the young Englishman clips it beyond Alisson for three.

Who are the champions?

MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 LIVERPOOL

44 min: Looks like we are drifting towards half-time here as Liverpool appear to be feeling the effects of their weekend hangover.

You can’t blame them. They started fast, but it does look like those jagerbombs might be catching up to them right about now.

City playing it around with ease as we head into added time.

MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 LIVERPOOL

41 min: The zip has gone out of this game since that second goal. It’s as if we’ve had one of those dreadful drinks breaks. Let’s just take a second to appreciate how bad an idea they are.

Yes, nothing is going on on the pitch…

Proving a point. City may have been well beaten in the title race, but they are showing how good they can be here.

MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 LIVERPOOL

38 min: It is no reflection of how the game as gone - it’s been a relatively even, very open one so far. But City have been clinical and Liverpool have looked lethargic going backwards.

MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 LIVERPOOL

35 min: GOAL! Manchester City double their lead and it seemed pretty easy for them to do so.

Jesus finds Foden on the edge of the area and the 20-year-old slides in his English teammate on the left-hand side. Sterling turns inside and strikes low under Alisson for 2-0.

MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL

32 min: Pretty sure Kevin De Bruyne is the only midfielder in this game. It’s a mental pinball-style tussle.

Oh and here’s Ederson coming out into the middle of the pitch! VAR had a look to see if he handled outside the box when winning a challenge against Salah but it comes to nothing.

MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL

30 min: Mane is found by Van Dijk and he beats Garcia all ends up to win a free-kick on the near touchline.

The incoming ball is overhit and we’re as you were.

MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL

28 min: City are looking like they really fancy this now.

De Bruyne feeds a quite incomprehensible ball through about four Liverpool players for Jesus, but the City striker can’t find the finish as he slices wide.

He’s a player, that Kevin.

MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL

The best player on the pitch so far has given the home side the lead.
