Jadon Sancho has given Manchester United a bit of hope that they can get something out of the game. Both of Man City’s goal have come from errors at the back so if United can cut those out they may be able to find more joy in the attacking third.

Two goals for Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne sees the league leaders with the advantage at half-time. Can Manchester United respond in the second half?

45+3 mins: Alex Telles’ corner ball is punched away by Ederson and Bruno Fernandes’ follow gets blocked in the middle of the box. Another United corner drops to Harry Maguire but the ball just hits him and rolls gently towards goal where Ederson scoops it up to end the first half.

Manchester City take a one-goal lead into the break.

45 mins: Three minutes off stoppage time to get added on at the end of this first half.

43 mins: Chance! Lindelof knocks the ball over the top and picks out Bruno Fernandes in the City box. He lays the ball off to Elanga who passes it back to Pogba. Pogba’s square pass is blocked before it reaches Fred but the ball comes back to Fernandes who sends it over to Sancho on the left side of the area. He leans back as he hits a first time effort and spoons the chance high and wide.
