31 MINS
Yellow card: Hojbjerg is booked for a late sliding challenge on Silva. Correct decision from the referee.
34 MINS
Redmond sends a tantalising ball across the face of goal, but Kompany manages to clear the danger.
36 MINS
Silva sends it through to Aguero, who holds the ball up and sends the ball back across the face of goal. It drops back to Silva, but his right-footed attempt fails to find the target. He should be scoring from there.
37 MINS
Sane bursts through on goal, he skips past Forster, but the keeper appears to knock the ball out of play before the City lad goes to ground.
39 MINS
Ward-Prowse sends a corner into the danger zone, but Bravo races out and manages to punch the ball to safety. Safe goalkeeping.
43 MINS
Bertrand appears to stamp on the back of Aguero's right leg. Free kick to Man City.
The striker is receiving treatment on the pitch.
HALF TIME
The scores remain level entering the interval, despite City heavily dominating the first half. Aguero had a handful of chances and Silva missed a close range strike for the visitors.
The Saints have showed glimpses of brilliance going forward, but Tadic missed their best chance of the game from inside of the area.
The speculation continues surrounding Sane's penalty call, but the referee did not believe there was contact at the time.
It is all to play for in the second half. Game on!
