76'
PENALTY SHOUT! De Bruyne releases Sterling through the middle and he has time to put his effort past Lloris. However, Walker gives him a shove at the last second to put him off his strike as he fires straight at the Spurs keeper. That should have been a spot-kick and a red card.

62'
PENALTY SHOUT! De Bruyne threads the ball through to Sterling in the box and he tries to break free of Rose and goes down in a heap with his international team-mate. He wants a penalty, but replays show that the defender made an excellent covering tackle.

We're underway at the Etihad Stadium.
Spurs were the first side to defeat Guardiola's City with a 2-0 win at White Hart Lane. Pochettino will be hopeful that his side can reproduce their form of that day to maintain their excellent form of late.
Mauricio Pochettino's men were outstanding in their 4-0 win over West Brom last week, winning their sixth top-flight match on the bounce.
Tottenham are on a surge to catch Chelsea at the top of the table and appear the only club able to prevent Antonio Conte's men from running away with the crown.
Pep Guardiola has conceded that his side are out of contention for the Premier League and a defeat to Spurs would only affirm his comments.
City are in dire need of a win today to get their season back on track after being hammered by Everton last week.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
MANCHESTER CITY (4-1-4-1): Bravo; Zabaleta, Otamendi, Kolarov, Clichy; Toure; Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne, Sane; Aguero.
Man City subs: Kompany, Fernando, Nolito, Caballero, Delph, Stones, Gabriel Jesus.
Tottenham subs: Son, Vorm, Trippier, Sissoko, Winks, Davies, Carter-Vickers.
City have made two changes from their hammering at the hands of Everton last week. John Stones is dropped, with Aleksandar Kolarov replacing him in the back four, while Leroy Sane comes into the side for Bacary Sagna.
Gabriel Jesus is an option off the bench for Guardiola to make his first appearance for the club. Vincent Kompany also returns to the squad this afternoon.
Pochettino makes one change from the side that cruised to a 4-0 win over West Brom last time out. It's enforced due to Jan Vertonghen's ankle injury, as Kevin Wimmer gets the nod over Ben Davies to start in the back three at the Etihad.
STAT ATTACK! Tottenham have not won seven games in a row since May 1967. They can equal that feat today with a win over Guardiola's men.
The players are making their way out on to the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
STAT ATTACK! City have won five out of their last six home matches against Spurs. Their only defeat came last season when Pochettino's men claimed a 2-1 win.
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 0-0 TOTTENHAM
Tottenham have been below-par and have barely threatened the City goal. That may prompt Mauricio Pochettino into changes at the break.
It's all square the break, but Manchester City will wonder how they are not ahead in the contest. Pep Guardiola's men have dominated the match and have come close to opening the scoring on several occasions, but have not managed to breach Hugo Lloris' goal.
The players are back out for the second half.
FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 2-2 TOTTENHAM
Both sides earn a share of the spoils this evening at the Etihad Stadium, but Manchester City will feel hard done by as Raheem Sterling was denied a penalty mere seconds before Tottenham scored their equaliser.
Mauricio Pochettino will be by far the happier of the two managers given that his side were nowhere near the best, while Pep Guardiola will be disappointed that his team could not convert an excellent display into three points.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
