Welcome to LIVE coverage of Manchester City v Newcastle from the Etihad!

Aleksandar Mitrovic's last four league goals are headers, including his last three for Anderlecht.

A superbly timed tackle by Mangala to win the ball from Mitrovic as he advanced towards the City area. Had to get that one spot on, and did.

Fernandinho slams a volley at goal from 22 yards out, but just wide of the target. Certainly the right idea with Krul diving to his right.

Anita could easily have gone for that one. De Bruyne with a superb free-kick seconds later, but it is deflected wide of goal with Fernando trying to get on the end of it.

Zabaleta is on the deck, and in a spot ot trouble after a late challenge by Anita, who is going to be booked for that one.

Fernandinho feeds Aguero, who slams a shot inches wide of Krul's left hand post. The Newcastle goalkeeper got his angles spot on there.

Steve McClaren has his tactics board out here. Obviously concerned about something or other, but his team continue to look good as De Bruyne is relieved of the ball.

Kolarov with the pass to Sterling, but he hesitates before Newcastle swallow up the loose ball. After such a rocky opening, the visiting side look very much the likelier side on the break.

Mitrović is really troubling that City defence, and the visiting fans appear to be appreciating his efforts so far this afternoon.

Solid piece of defending by Janmaat as he ensures Sterling can't go past him before earning a free-kick for his team.

Janmatt back on his feet and back on the pitch after a spot of treatment to the delight of the visiting fans. City fortunate to only trail by one as they pick up possession in the centre of the pitch.

Moussa Sissoko providing both chances for Newcastle, who should really be two goals clear at this point.

Hart this time rescues City with a fine diving block from the Mitrovic shot. Excellent stuff from Hart in the home goal.

Glorious chance for Mitrovic to add a second goal, but he nods over the bar from 10 yards with City all over the shop at the back. Real chance not taken.

Mitrovic nets for Newcastle, but Janmaat was well offside with Perez also offside.

Otamendi drives the ball at goal from distance, but straight into the head of Coloccini, who never knew much about that.

Newcastle just falling back deep, and Perez does exceptionally well to earn a foul in holding off Fernando. Krul can knock it long from deep.

Mitrovic caught offside as the visiting side attempt to add to this 1-0 lead against a home side who look slightly shaken by falling behind.

Newcastle end a run of five PL matches without a goal against Manchester City, stretching back to 15 December 2012 when Demba Ba found the net in a 3-1 home defeat. Aleksandar Mitrovic scores his first Premier League goal.
