Pep Guardiola: "I could not be in a better place right now."

Follow live reaction after Manchester City beat Everton to move second in the Premier League table.

Raheem Sterling put City ahead, a minute before the break, side-footing home after a magnificent ball, struck with the outside of his foot, by full back Joao Cancelo.

Rodri made it 2-0 with a thundering long-distance strike that whistled past Everton keeper Jordan Pickford.

Sterling missed a great chance to end the contest but mis-controlled the ball in front of goal after a low cross from Riyad Mahrez.

Cole Palmer, the 19-year-old making his first Premier League start, had set Mahrez through for that opportunity and his blocked shot was pounced on by Bernardo Silva who calmly slotted home the third.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Leeds

23 mins: Close! The old combination of Son and Kane almost sees Tottenham take the lead as Son drives into the right side of the Leeds penalty area and cuts the ball back to the striker. He’s got Kalvin Phillips in front of him and Kane’s first touch is a poor one. The ball rolls away from from allowing Phillips enough time to close the gap and prod the ball back out of the box.

20 mins: Jack Harrsion makes a purposeful run into the box before slotting it back to Gelhardt. The 19-year-old chips the ball over the top of the defence expecting Harrison to continue his run but the Leeds winger goes down after colliding with Emerson Royal. He doesn’t appeal for a penalty though and looks a little sheepish as he gets back to his feet.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Leeds

17 mins: A first real foray into the Leeds final third comes when Harry Kane switches a diagonal pass out to Sergio Reguilon on the left side. He keeps the ball alive with a cross from the byline but can’t find a teammate. The Leeds clearance only comes out as for as Kane who floats another pass into the box, this one heading towards the overlapping Emerson Royal, and wins a corner for the home side.

14 mins: Leeds win a corner that gets played short. Harrison collects the ball and runs into the box. He’s met by a bunch of white shirts and pulls the ball back to Gelhardt who shoots on the turn but spoons his effort high over the crossbar!

11 mins: Lucas Moura goes on a nice run down the right flank for Spurs as they break on the counter-attack. He shifts away from one, two tackles and then attempts to feed Son Heung-min through the centre but a back-tracking Pascal Struijk intercepts the ball and the attack breaks down.

8 mins: Chance! Stuart Dallas continues Leeds’ good start with a chipped pass out to Jack Harrison on the left side. He volleys a cross into the middle and almost picks out Gelhardt only for Eric Dier to nip in front of the teenager and head the ball away. It comes out of the box and drops kindly for Dallas who then drills one from range and pulls the chance narrowly wide of the left-hand post.

5 mins: Leeds have started on the front foot. Stuart Dallas dinks the ball down the right wing and picks out Gelhardt. He doesn brilliantly to hold up the ball and shake off three defenders before slipping Dan James free to the right of the penalty area. James whips a high cross into the box but can’t pick out a teammate and Tottenham take over possession.

2 mins: Kalvin Phillips takes the free kick and lifts the ball up and over the wall. There’s a bit of dip and a touch of swerve and the ball is heading into the near corner but Hugo Lloris shuffles across and clings onto the ball.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Leeds

Kick off: Tottenham get the match underway. This is the 100th meeting between the two sides in all competitions. Who’s going to come out on top?

Joe Gelhardt is brought down as he takes on Japhet Tanganga and Leeds win a free kick in a dangerous area, just outside the box on the inside left channel.

Tottenham vs Leeds

Here come the teams. They make their way out onto the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Victory for Tottenham would see them move ahead of Manchester United into seventh but perhaps more importantly three points for Leeds will provide them with a five-point cushion over the relegation zone.
