Good morning and welcome to LIVE coverage of Manchester City v Everton from the Etihad Stadium. We get underway at 12.45pm.

Fellaini tries to send Cahill racing clear, but Lescott is watching that ball all the way as he heads out. City continue to see 11 dark blue shirts in front of them.

Yaya Toure is booked for a second time this season for a late, sliding tackle on Coleman. Can have no complaints about that one.

Have been very few chances in this one, but that is testament to Everton's organisation. Rodwell continues to shadow Silva whenever he picks the ball up.

Osman is another man booked for a late tackle on Richards. Howard Webb not holding back with these yellow cards. Three bookings now.

Silva catches Jagielka with a late tackle and Everton can get some respite as they knock the ball long into the home half of the field.

Everton have clearly come to do a job on City. Sit in, frustrate and hit on the break. That seems to be the policy. So far, so good as Aguero is muscled off the ball.

So Everton now with two men booked. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the match as City get matters back under way.

Neville and Silva involved in a bit of a tussle. Neville clipped Aguero's heels. All a bit weak. Aguero goes down like he is shot and Neville is booked. Poor decision by the referee.

Cahill and Lescott in a race for the ball, but that is easy for Hart as he comes out to collect it.

Mancini out on the touchline doing plenty of pointing with his arms. Looks like he is waiting for a bus. Always looks a very relaxed figure.

David Silva has created more scoring chances from open play (18) than any other player in the top flight. That is the reason why Rodwell is marking him so tightly.

Nasri with this free-kick. Dzeko wins the header, but can't direct it goalwards as Fellaini thumps it long.

Rodwell catches Silva with a late one, and he is going to be booked for that one. Perhaps a bit harsh, but a tougher task now to keep the Spaniard quiet.

Yaya Toure needing a spot of treatment. Getting some strapping to a knee as play continues before Toure returns to the action.

Stunning play from Aguero at the edge of the box. Shows great feet, but the shot is a bit too high as he prods it over the bar. Let-off for Everton.

Everton keeping matters very, very tight. Not willing to give an inch so far. Neville sweeping up seconds after being caught in possession. First error from the visiting captain.

Fellaini making sure Clichy is aware of his presence. Tries to win a header, but is penalised for a bit of pushing there. City back on the ball.

Coleman asking questions of Clichy, but he makes a timely tackle before Kompany hammers away Fellaini's header into the box.

Rodwell has definitely been handed a man marking role on Silva. Richards tries to pick out Aguero, but the ball flies through to Howard.

City so, so comfortable at the back as Toure shows a bit of class to flick the ball back to Kompany and he just nudges it wide to Lescott.

Rodwell seems to be tracking Silva all over the park. Obviously trying to keep him quiet as the one-two with Silva and Nasri breaks down.
