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

Gvardiol makes a good run forward this time before switching it out to Grealish on the wing. He's under no pressure, but the Blades comfortably deal with his cross into the box.

United are struggling to get a touch on the ball at the moment, so are dropping deeper into their own box to make life harder for City. Grealish and Kovacic both try to play it into the area, but they can't pick out a blue shirt.

CHANCE! City aren't ready to let up the pressure despite breaking the deadlock, and Silva spins away from Thomas down the right to lift in a great cross from the right. Alvarez meets it, but his header loops wide of the far top corner.

Grealish has options ahead of him in the box, but can't pick out Foden or Alvarez with his reverse pass. Baldock hooks it clear and it almost turns out to be a good pass for Bogle, but Ake gets back in time to stop him from reaching it.

City are patiently trying to open up some space in behind, and it looks like Ake has cracked it as he makes a driving run through the middle before sliding in Foden. Instead of turning to goal, he looks for the Dutchman again, but only picks out Robinson.

Sheffield United have never scored in five Premier League away games against City - only Birmingham City (seven against Manchester United) have visited a side more without ever scoring in the competition.

Again, City get a little sloppy in midfield and Osula has a chance to run at the defence. He makes a weaving run past three players, but Walker reads it well when the forward tries to spread it out to Brooks.

CHANCE! Kovacic's loose pass gifts the ball to Sheff United and Ben Slimane picks out Norwood's run down the right. He whips a cross in which has Ederson scrambling - the keeper ends up behind his line, but manages to hold the ball out to prevent a shock goal.

WIDE! It's City with all of the early possession here, and they find a way through down the left. Gvardiol clips it forward to Foden, who cushions it down for Alvarez, but he fizzes his first-time shot wide of the far post.
