39'
Good defending by Otamendi. He's blown away by the pace of Rashford on a break down the right, but recovers to make a vital tackle as the young forward attempted to drive into the box.
38'
The resulting corner falls for Kolarov again but this time his effort rises high over the bar from 35 yards.
37'
Kolarov exchanges a one-two with De Bruyne and wastes little time letting fly with a rasping low drive that De Gea pushes past his near post.
36'
Aguero spins his man once more and gets a cross in from the right of the box that is well defended by Bailly. United creaking a bit at the back.
35'
City dominant now. They are bossing possession and looking the more likely.
34'
Wonderful feet from Aguero as he leads three a merry dance on the edge of the box before flashing a shot over the top.
33'
SAVE! Aguero takes aim from 25 yards but sees his curving shot well held by De Gea.
32'
So much for fiery derbies...
31'
Aguer spins well and frees De Bruyne. The Belgian charges into the United half but overhits his pass looking for the marauding Sane.
30'
Aguero frustrated once more as he can't quite reach Kolarov's wonderfully whipped cross frm the left.

27'
Brilliant defensive reach from Carrick after De Bruyne's delightful back-heel flick almost made it through to Sane.

25'
Henrikh Mkhitaryan sees a 10-yard shot well blocked by Bravo after the keeper had bizarrely flapped a deflected cross into the midfielder's path.
24'
23'
Sane surges beyond two and into the left of the area. He looks set to pull the trigger but is halted in his tracks by a great sliding challenge from Bailly.
21'
Indeed.
20'
Rashford's pace causing City problems when United counter. Otamendi gets across and is forced to concede a corner, but the resulting kick comes to nothing.
19'
DID YOU KNOW? Mourinho has failed to win any of his last four Premier League games against Manchester City (D2 L2) – this after winning six successive top-flight encounters with the Citizens between December 2005 and February 2014.
18'
Play halted briefly. A new ball is required! And on we go...
17'
De Bruyne arcs a devilish free kick in from the right that fizzes through the corridor of uncertainty, but no City players react to get on the end of it.
