Man City v Everton LIVE: Premier League score and latest updates ...

36 min: Pickford came off his line well to prevent a probing run from Matheus Nunes.

35 min: Pressure is momentarily relieved when a free kick is awarded in Everton’s favour inside the box for a foul on Godfrey.

32 min: Everton are keeping almost everyone back except the lone figure of Calvert-Lewin.

Everton are alert again, this time to block a shot from Foden.

30 min: Who is going to find the breakthrough in this match? The momentum has mostly been with City, but it will not be easy for them with Everton keeping their numbers back.

Another important block from Tarkowski prevents a cross from reaching Haaland.

27 min: Haaland has a chance, but he was underneath the ball from Doku and the ball ballooned up over the bar.

26 min: Everton have a set piece of their own, half their league goals this season have come from set pieces, but that effort was not controlled by Calvert Lewin and the goalkeeper was able to make the save.

25 min: Doku had a great first touch to get away from Godfrey, but his final effort was blocked.

Everton are doing a lot of blocking of City shots.

24 min: Given his recent form, Foden feels wasted on the right wing, shunted over there to make room for Alvarez and Nunes in the central spots behind Haaland. This time he crosses towards Nunes but it’s a touch overhit and is headed clear. City soon come again, though.

21 min: Foden tries a shot cutting in from the right but that’s also blocked, which gives you an idea of how Everton are defending.

18 min: As I write that, City make a good opportunity first through Alvarez on the left side of the box and then Doku in the same position, but both efforts are blocked. Jordan Pickford has not been required much so far.
