19' - Close!
Leighton Baines almost gets Everton back in the game but his delightfully-struck free-kick bends narrowly wide of Ederson's near post.
21' - Kyle Walker finds himself inside the Everton penalty area and Leroy Sane picks him out with a pin-point cut-back. However, the full-back makes poor contact with his first-time finish and the ball dribbles wide.
26' - Everton, like so many other teams before them this season, haven't been able to get anywhere near City today.
Pep Guardiola's players are stroking the ball at will here and you can't see the hosts making it to half-time without conceding a third goal.
32' - Raheem Sterling goes close to adding a third goal for City but his effort from the edge of the area is blocked behind for a corner by Phil Jagielka.
34' - City go close to adding a third goal again and this time it's David Silva with the effort.
The Spaniard takes aim from the edge of the area but the ball whistles narrowly wide of the diving Jordan Pickford's far post!
GOAL! Everton 0-3 Manchester City (Sterling, 37)
And there is City's third goal of the evening!
David Silva charges down the left wing with the ball before delivering a low cross for Raheem Sterling, who slots a first-time finish beyond the helpless Jordan Pickford.
Half-time - Everton 0-3 Manchester City
Boos ring out around Goodison Park as the referee brings the opening period to a close. City lead at the interval after goals from Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.
