45 mins: Sterling does well to prevent Milner getting in a cross, and ends up on his backside as a result. He doesn't look a happy chap at the moment, the ex-Liverpool winger.
HALF-TIME
Strange half. Liverpool deserve their lead, given them by a fabulous Wijnaldum header, but that's been just about the only moment of excitement. Pep Guardiola's side were woeful for half an hour but there were signs towards the end of the half they were finding their feet. Plenty more life left in this one.
Manchester City only had three touches inside the Liverpool penalty area during the first half - three!
46 mins: Liverpool straight on the attack. Firmino, inside the area, picks out Clyne but the Liverpool right-back doesn't really compose himself and scuffs his shot wide.
49 mins: Great interplay between Wijnaldum and Lallana puts City on the back foot again but the visitors manage to clear. Liverpool have started this half at a higher tempo.
52 mins: City have had a shot! A swift break ends with Aguero powering a shot but it's straight at Mignolet. City's first effort on target.
56 mins: That really was close! This time it's David Silva who whips a left-footed shot inches wide of Mignolet's post. A warning for Liverpool.
57 mins: A terrific diagonal pass from Toure finds Sterling on the stretch but he volleys into the side netting. The visitors much improved.
