Everton vs Manchester City live score and goal updates - latest

Sterling manages to find some space in between the lines and quickly tries to poke a pass through to Jesus, but he lets himself down with a poor first touch and the home side are just about able to hold on once again.

City hold onto the ball for what feels like an age as they comfortably pass the ball around inside the Everton half of the pitch. Laporte eventually breaks into the box and fires a pass over to Sterling, who shoots but sends a scuffed effort high over the crossbar.

Frustration is understandably starting to be heard from the home fans. Everton have been presented with a few good chances to counter-attack, but they seem reluctant to push too many bodies forward and are failing to make the opportunities count.

Space opens up for Calvert-Lewin over on the left wing and allows him to burst into the box and try and pick out Tosun, but his pass towards the Turkey international is poor and easily dealt with by Fernandinho.

Almost a third goal for City! A corner is fired in low by De Bruyne and picks out Otamendi, who quickly shoots and sends a thumping half-volley narrowly wide of the near post.

And now Walker goes close! More great play by City looks as if it's going to result in a third goal after Walker is set up by Sane, but the defender's first-time shot is poor and scuffs well wide.

Decent chance for Baines! Walcott is clumsily caught by Laporte, leaving the referee with no choice but to award Everton a free-kick just outside of the City penalty area. It's Baines who steps up and shoots, and his effort doesn't miss the goal by much.

Sterling goes close! The first corner quickly results in a second, which is worked out to Sterling. The winger immediately shoots from 25 yards out, and his low effort bounces just a yard or so wide of the far post.

Silva is left all alone inside the Everton box once again and manages to get a shot away, but a slight deflection sends it just wide of the near post and into the side-netting before it can trouble Pickford.

Tosun is clumsily brought down by Walker, and Everton are awarded another free-kick in a dangerous position out wide. Baines' cross is a poor one, though, and it curls straight into the hands of Ederson.

Everton were caught with far too few bodies back, but once again City were devastatingly effective, with De Bruyne's pass perfectly putting the ball on a plate for Jesus.

GOOAAAAALLL

GOAL! It's another for City! The visitors immediately fly forward from the restart and catch Everton horribly open at the break. De Bruyne charges into the penalty area and crosses to Jesus, who is completely unmarked and easily beats Pickford from close range.

What a chance for Bolasie to equalise! Calvert-Lewin breaks down the right flank and chips a lovely cross into the heart of the box. Bolasie rises high above Walker and gets his head to the ball, but he sends it looping over the top of the crossbar.

Sane is penalised for handling the ball over on the right wing, resulting in a free-kick for Everton in a decent position. Rooney steps up and crosses into the penalty area, but Jagielka can't hit the target with his off-balance header.

The visitors patiently pass the ball around inside their own half of the pitch as they try to find a way forward once again. This time it's Laporte who attempts to pick out Walker with a cross-field pass, but it's overhit by the defender and bounces out for a goal-kick.

City come back once again after quickly winning the ball back from the restart, but Silva isn't able to curl a cross into the box from the left wing and has to settle for a throw-in instead.

GOOAAAALLL

GOAL! City lead! A clever pass from Laporte penetrates the penalty area and picks out Silva. The Spaniard heads to the byline and sends the ball over to Sane, who thumps a brilliant strike past Pickford and into the back of the net.

Silva made a great run into the box to link up nicely with Laporte, but Everton were poor defensively and were made to pay for their errors. They didn't put enough pressure on their opponents during the build-up, and nobody followed Silva into the penalty area.

It's City who start the game on the front foot and quickly put the Everton back line under pressure. Sane does well to win a corner after sprinting down the left wing, but the league leaders can't quite carve out a chance on goal.

We're off! Everton get us underway, attacking from left to right.

Everton warm up

The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.

Sergio Aguero isn’t yet ready to return to action after a period out injured, so Guardiola has decided to name young striker Nmecha on the bench for the second time this season.

There’s also a place on the substitutes’ bench for defender Funes Mori, who hasn’t featured for the senior side in over a year due to a nasty knee injury.
