Man City v Everton LIVE: Premier League score and latest updates as Haaland starts and De Bruyne benched

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.

16 min: I will endeavour to dig out the actual figure, but I can’t imagine Erling Haaland has touched the ball more than two or three times in this match, so far. City have the ball but not in dangerous positions. Yet.

13 min: What that pause in the game has achieved for Everton is just take the edge out of the stadium a little. The initial noise has dipped and it all feels a little flatter. City need to find a way to bring back the energy.

11 min: After a bit of treatment, Ederson is OK to continue. There will be a fair few minutes added on at the end of this half for that stoppage.

8 min: A pause in play after a clash in the City box between Ederson and Everton defender Ben Godfrey. Godfrey went into the challenge fully committed and the City keeper seems to be injured.
