Manchester City vs Luton Town LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Goal Mateo Kovačić

Akanji picks out Nunes on the right-hand side and he carries the ball into the box. He drills it across goal, but Hashioka is able to clear. City advance once again and Lewis lays it off to Kovacic on the edge of the penalty area. The Croatian midfielder takes a touch before striking towards goal, but it's deflected behind for a corner.

Edwards makes Luton's first change of the game with Woodrow entering the fray. Townsend heads to the bench.

So close for City! Doku darts past his marker and pulls it back to Alvarez inside the box, and he finds the feet of Kovacic. He feeds Dias on the edge of the area and the Portuguese defender strikes it first-time towards goal, but his shot whistles inches past the post! Kaminski was rooted the spot!

City have started the second half as they ended the first and they continue to dominate the possession at the Etihad Stadium. Guardiola's side have enjoyed 80.7 per cent of the ball, but they have struggled to create any clear-cut chances since the break.

Dias feeds Alvarez out wide and City work the ball inside the box with De Bruyne and Lewis. It eventually falls to Alvarez on the edge of the penalty area and he shifts it onto his left before unleashing towards goal, but it's a tame effort and it trickles past the post and behind for a goal-kick to Luton.

De Bruyne plays yet another throughball into the Luton box, and Gvardiol has burst forward from defence to get on the end of it. He strikes it low and hard towards goal, but his effort is blocked and Luton are able to clear. City come forward again and Kovacic picks out Dias who shoots from the edge of the box, but he drags it wide of the post.

De Bruyne drives forward and picks out Doku on the left-hand side, and City keep possession and go the other way. It comes to Alvarez on the right-hand side and he looks to deliver into the box, but it's a wayward effort and it goes behind for a goal-kick to Luton.

De Bruyne gets the second half under way for Man City at the Etihad Stadium!

City created 1.78 expected goals in the first half from 19 shots, with six of those being on target. The home side have enjoyed 75.6 per cent of the possession, while completing 291 passes in the opposition half. Luton have been camped inside their own box for the most part, but they've done well to limit Guardiola's men to just one goal. With just nine passes in the final third before the break, it wouldn't be a surprise to see a tactical tweak from Edwards as he hopes to see his side show more of a threat in attack. Luton have limited options from the bench due to having a host of injuries, but the Hatters could turn to Woodrow to offer something different going forward. Guardiola has some serious talent waiting in the wings if he wants to make a change - could we see Foden, Grealish, or Bernardo Silva early in the second half?
