Everton 0-2 Manchester City: Barclays Premier League as it happened
City have a deserved lead! Sterling drives towards the box before slipping through an inviting ball for the overlapping Kolarov. The Serbian takes on a first time shot and finds the far corner with a powerful effort from the tightest of angles. Tim Howard was perhaps beaten a little to easily there.
Another surging run through City, this time from Tom Cleverley. Just as he is about to break into the box however Fernandinho slides in and concedes the free kick. I don't think he had to do that either, Kompany looked well place to intercept the former Manchester United midfielder, but there you go.
City are all over Everton at the minute. Stones sticks a knee across Aguero in a vain attempt to stop the Argentine, conceding a free kick, but his partner at the back Jagielka is on the scene to clear. Moments later City are back again and Jagielka makes a tremendous sliding challenge to nick the ball away from Aguero just as is about to pull the trigger on the edge of the box.
TEAM NEWS - Everton:
The partnership of Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone that caused so much havoc against Southampton continues with Barkey taking up space behind them. John Stones starts at centre half, amid ongoing speculation around his future.
