(The Guardian) 4 mins: City seem to have spent the past few days planning to press Liverpool all over the pitch. This could be a test of everyone’s fitness after so long without a competitive game. De Bruyne’s cross is deflected behind by Carvalho. Corner to City …
6 mins: Haaland breaks down the right into space, takes the ball into the box and lays it on a plate for Palmer, who cannot sort his feet out when six yards out and sends it a mile wide. What a dreadful finish.

(The Guardian) 8 mins: City have started the better, they look more intense and slicker but Liverpool look decent on the break.

(The Guardian) GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Haaland, 10)De Bruyne crosses from the left for Haaland to volley home from eight yards. A classic of the genre. Haaland just knows where the ball is going to end up when De Bruyne is in possession. Gomez drifted off, allowing the striker the inch of space he required to score.

(The Guardian) 12 minutes: Palmer drives into the box and pulls the ball back from the byline but Gomez is in the right place to block the cross. City are utterly dominant. Milner is struggling at right-back.
14 mins: Haaland and De Bruyne certainly look on it tonight. Both have a point to prove. Haaland because he’s had a few weeks off and De Bruyne due to Belgium’s poor World Cup.

(The Guardian) 16 mins: Elliott gets into space on the right, allowing him to cross for Nunez to sweep at shot at goal. The Uruguayan’s effort hits the post but the offside flag is up regardless. “If any cross to Haaland is accurate it seems almost impossible to stop without fouling,” emails Mary Waltz. “He is bigger stronger, quicker, jumps higher then almost any defender.” I think a few of the City players have a point to prove (especially DeBruyne from earlier) but there's also the fact that, to borrow Ric Flair's quote, "To be the best you've got to beat the best." Manchester City are the best in England right now and anytime there's been a challenge (Liverpool's 2020 league title & last year's cup double, for examples) City have risen back to take what they believe is rightfully theirs.

(The Guardian) 18 mins: Liverpool seem eager to pass the ball round at the back but they keep getting caught in possession. They do not look recharged by the break, that’s for sure.

(The Guardian) GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (Carvalho, 20)I did not see that coming. Matip brings the ball forward before slipping it to Milner in the box, allowing him to cross to Carvalho to sweep home from 12 yards. liverpool scarf-1

(The Guardian) 22 mins: City allowed Milner and Carvalho to have acres of space there as they switched off mentally. They need to up things once again.

(The Guardian) 24 mins: Palmer sends a cross along the six-yard line but Haaland does not anticipate where it will land, meaning he fails to make contact to score a second.
26 mins: Salah chases a pass over the defence, going shoulder to shoulder with Ake but the Egyptian pulls his opponent back to end the attack.

(The Guardian) 28 mins: Mahrez drills a corner to Palmer on the edge of the box to shoot first time but it hits a mass of Liverpool shirts and goes out for a throw-in. Palmer then wins a free-kick on the left touchline thanks to a Milner foul. De Bruyne whips it straight into Kelleher’s arms.

(The Guardian) 30 mins: City have continued to dominate possession since the equaliser but without the gusto they started the match with. Palmer gets down the left and taps the ball to De Bruyne but his cross is, again, straight at Kelleher.
32 mins: City do seem to be targeting Milner at right-back. Palmer has shown him a few tricks and De Bruyne always look keen to help out his younger teammate by providing an overlap.

(The Guardian) 34 mins: Colin Stevens emails: “Surprised that City still have tickets available for sale for the Chelsea game in two weeks. That’s according to the pitchside adverts. You’d expect such a big game as that to be sold out by now.” The third round of the FA Cup is not the draw it used to be. The tickets are quite expense at a time when people cannot afford extras.
