Man City vs Sheffield United LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Julian Alvarez nets second goal

Substitution Kyle Andrew Walker Rúben dos Santos Gato Alves Dias

City are starting to look more to their left side to make something happen. Silva has switched out there for the moment to link up with Gvardiol, but they both see crosses cleared away.

BLOCK! Foden has caused problems for United since the first whistle, and he gets in behind with another weaving run. He goes down under pressure from Souza before he can get the shot away, but it rolls to Bobb, whose first-time effort is blocked by Robinson.

Loud cheers ring out around the Etihad as De Bruyne is out to warm up for the first time in the game. On the pitch, City are still comfortably keeping possession and passing their way around United.

Assist Philip Walter Foden

All of the Blades' Premier League away goals this season have come in the second half of games. Including today, they've now failed to score before half-time in their last 11 on the road in the competition, their longest-ever such run.

There's more neat play from City as they switch it from right to left and Gvardiol tees up Foden in the box. His first touch forces him wide, but he does win a corner as his powerful shot is deflected wide.

GOOD SAVE! It looks a sure second goal for City! Rodri lifts it over the top for Foden to run onto after getting between two United defenders, but Foderingham is alert. The goalkeeper rushes out to take it off the youngster's boot, with Trusty following in to stop him from getting a second bite at it.

Sheff United have barely managed to get out of their own half since the restart. They're still sitting deep, continuing to frustrate their opponents.
