Gundogan has a shot but no power behind him Ref delivers Caleta-Car for an earlier foul on De Bruyne
Sansom wide for Amavi, his cross causes more panic than it should have in the city’s defense Be pretty funny if they managed not to win this, after being in full control
Real Madrid flushing at Monchengladbach is great fun Will they play this European Super League on Thursday night? #UCL
Amavi in the book to foul Raheem Let go of our man, Amavi Decent free kick but Zinchenko keeps the chance to shoot
Sterling shoots he’s blocked by Amavi KDB the man who played him I think it was offside
The Gun Dog and La Porte make mistakes, Laporte will see howling for his scissor tackle on BalerdiÂ
Thauvin! He lets himself be torn with the left and Ederson seems a bit slow to react. It’s much closer to the target than he initially thought, and he pulls out a mitten and deflects it widely
Foden turns on the turbo and descends to the left, moves and passes but there isn’t really enough city presence in the opponent’s area to take advantage of it
Strange things are brewing: Â Kevin De Bruyne has lost his pass not once but twice since half-time
Thauvin tries to get a center in the city area but Laporte is there and solid
No change I can see, and no change in OM’s approach to these early proofs A flat back five, and the rest of the squad also stubbornly defends
« The home team don’t go out – it looks like damage limitation and it shouldn’t be like that in a Champions League game »
The story of the night is probably that Real Madrid are a goal in Mönchengladbach
Not one for racing It all felt a bit like a training exercise in the cavernous empty stadium Especially in that it was basically attack versus defense City in total controls and the only thing there was. ‘we can really say in favor of OM is that they clung to it, except for a few individual mistakes, one of which led to a goal And there is only one goal
City are pushing for the second their dominance deserves but it’s not coming
Marseille’s Nemanja Radonjic has an effort from outside the box Ederson pulls this together with ease He’s not exactly off his feet it’s fair to say
Laporte gives it, Rongier with a fastball but the feel of sweeping goalkeeper Ederson is like lightning
OOh, OM almost defeated again And again it was a defensive mistake, trying to do too much at the back They over-elaborate, lose and Zinchenko drags his shot right next to Leonardo Balerdi does goofs, KDB steals it and Oleksandr Zinchenko has this chance
Sterling by giving them an hour on the right flank He seems to be moving at double time, OM are struggling to keep up
Marseille are coming out a bit more now, which should a) make the game more entertaining and b) make it more likely that City will score again
Thauvin, who flopped at Newcastle but is often in the national team for France and scores a lot, is fouled by Gundogan Un mal
Valentin Rongier and Duje Caleta-Car team up again, this time to grab a sandwich from Raheem Sterling A really good free kick is whipped and the keeper is grateful to grab it
Marseille under real pressure here and they make the mistake A terrible stray pass, City got this on a De Bruyne plate with the single pass, Torres can’t miss and that’s the effect of the constant pressure under which OM was: they cracked
Valentin Rongier tried to play him in Duje Caleta-Car who was sold a puppy but didn’t really cover himself in fame either
Zinchenko sparkles a cross, well, through the OM zone and it’s looking for a touch Jermaine Jenas: « I bet Aguero pulled his hair out – that was begging a tap « Ha Just so
Foden looked really dangerous on the left, this young man’s electric talent gets his shot in
Nice little jinky run from Sterling as he tries to navigate a full Configure KDB box, whose shot is loaded
OM started out by camping pretty much in their own box even though they were under pressure.But they’re pushing a bit more now, and squeezing a bit rather than just standing
Hot start for City, looking to be serious Sterling wins another corner KDB takes him Dias with the header! More of
A good move from City, precise passing, a knockdown to De Bruyne and he hits a deflected volley
Looks like a full five then another full five ahead of him for OM, who seem ready to defend
to see those majestic empty lands, I think I mean, when it’s Turf Moor or something, it doesn’t look so bad somehow But the huge rolling curves of the Stade Velodrome deserve better
City recovered after beating Porto in last game Bookies give them a warm 2-5 fav to make them two of two wins
Raheem Sterling pays tribute to Jeremy Wisten, former Manchester City youngster who died aged 17
Some clubs say it should be dropped Even Mike Ashley (!!!!? @ Â £ $ QWFSDC) SD) feels it’s a play PL resists demand from some clubs to cancel PPV
The moral and ethical pay-per-view is wrong, the Premier League must do the right thing and end it

Champions League action to have on our live blog tonight M’coll JJ Bull is two for the Liverpool game, on this page you can follow Pep Guardiola’s men’s trip to the south of the France God I miss France
Anyway Has always had a soft spot for Marseille since the days of the Waddler, in the late 1980s Several years later, my own team – Hibs – signed Franck Sauzée, who had had two spells with the French giants at the same time Franck was the best player I saw at Easter Road He had been a midfielder earlier in his career but played for us as a sweeper, a magnificent player of the game, a thinker, a really cultured player who was not also not above the required physicality if the need arises
For my part, I hope Marseille can do business tonight, although I can’t say I pay a lot of attention to French football OM is run by former Tottingham boss André Villas-Boas, Dmitri Payet, who also has football experience in London of course, is one of their biggest names
As for Manchester City, well maybe a chance to piece together a European run this season, but there seems to be a lot of headache for Pep Without Aguero they seem to be missing up front, and with the defense he has they seem to be missing out on the back Obviously still huge quality in the XI and in the squad but you wonder if the best days of the project Pep could be in the past We’ll see
In the shorter term, we’ll see which teams the two managers nominate – and get to that before the kick-off at 8 p.m.
