Pep Guardiola’s imperious side have now won their last 21 games in succession in all competitions and their return to the pinnacle of English football now feels inevitable, with City already 12 points clear of closest challengers Leicester City. Gabriel Jesus scored twice in a 4-1 victory over Wolves last time out and has kept his place in the starting line-up alongside Riyad Mahrez, whose trickery may prove pivotal in breaking United down.

That second goal has emboldened United and the visitors now look confident. City have let the game escape them, trying to force things a little and leaving themselves exposed defensively.

Mahrez does well to work some space on the edge of the box and sets up Jesus, who can only fire what appears to be a shot – but might have been a cross – well wide of the far post.

City send on Walker for Cancelo.

City appeal for a penalty as De Bruyne powers through the middle and feeds Jesus, who gets to the byline on the right and goes to ground under a challenge. There’s no interest from the referee.

Martial again finds himself driving forward into a huge space. He finds Rashford to his left, but Cancelo dispossesses the United man before he can break into the box.

Half a chance for Martial as a Fernandes cross flicks off the head of Dias and loops towards the back post. Martial gets his head to it but can’t generate the power to trouble Ederson.

United break menacingly again. Martial brushes Rodri aside and has acres of space to run into. He has options either side and opts to play in James, whose driven shot deflects behind for a corner.

A promising City attack comes to a disappointing end. De Bruyne slides a pass through to Jesus, who for some reason chooses to cut back instead of immediately shooting. He finds Mahrez, who in turn moves the ball on to De Bruyne. The Belgian’s cross from the byline is easily cut out.
