20'
Mahrez's resulting free kick is blocked to the edge of the area for Delph, who thunders a 25-yard drive just over the top.
19'
Mahrez skips beyond Digne on the right, but is upended by the full back as he looked to surge into the right side of the area.
The Everton defender is the first man in the book as a result.

Everton causes problems down the left once more, but this time the cross is just too deep for Coleman, who had arrived late at the back stick.
15'
Digne robs Walker inside his own penalty area and hangs a lovely ball to the far post for Richarlison, who somehow contrives to blaze it over on the volley.
13'
AWAY-DAY BLUES: Everton's only win in eight league matches on the road since May came at Leicester City in October. The Merseysiders have managed just 14 points from 17 away games over the past year.

10'
City are constantly probing, but finding it tough to find a way through this well organised Everton rearguard so far.
9'
PEP vs. MARCO: Silva has been beaten in all three PL matches versus Man City as a manager. Indeed, Guardiola knows the winning formula against the Portuguese having recorded five wins from five competitive encounters by an aggregate score of 19-2!
7'
Sane marauds free down the left. He has Jesus in the middle and is one-on-one with Gomes, but then overruns it as he tried to cut inside.
6'
STAT: City's 4-0 loss at Everton, almost two years ago, is the last time they suffered a league defeat to a side outside the so-called 'big six.' That's a run that has stretched to 51 games unbeaten, winning 44 along the way.
5'
STAT: Everton have held City to a draw on their last three visits to the Etihad, but have not won on the Citizens' home turf since December 2010. In fact, the Toffees, only success over City in their last 10 was a 4-0 thumping they handed out to Pep and Co and January 2017.
4'
SUPER SAVE! Clavert-Lewin spins on to Sigurdsson's lovely run and pass, but sees his low effort tipped past the far post by Ederson.
It wouldn't have counted as the flag was up - but the keeper didn't know that, great save!
3'
City with all the ball in the very early stages. Walker saunters in field from the right and tries to flick an outside of the foot pass through for Jesus, but Zouma stretches out a boot to deny him.
2'
HEAD-TO-HEAD: City have picked up two victories in their previous seven encounters with Everton in all competitions. They have also lost twice in that time and managed to keep just the one clean sheet.

A big miss for Everton today?

DID YOU KNOW? Richarlison has snared eight league goals this term. They have been worth nine points, the joint most of any player in the division along with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Brighton's Glenn Murray.

Ilkay Gundogan hopes there is no letting up in the fight against racism following team-mate Raheem Sterling’s bold stand on the issue.

Guardiola: "Last season one of the secrets was when we dropped points we were able to make another big run, winning games and winning games. It's important but we must focus on what we have to do and try to beat them." He added: "It will be a tough game after the Champions League. They were so tired. We'll see how we react."
