2:18pm: Some news from the Toon and Newcastle v Leicester has been postponed while an loose electronic scoreboard is fixed.
2:15pm: Just when you thought this game couldn't get anymore crazy, it proves you wrong. City now certainly have the advantage and having taken advantage of Tottenham's defenders so many times with 11 men it shouldn't be difficult with 10.

1:30pm: Once again Eriksen has a shot that forces Hart into action. Spurs are not out of it yet.
1:28pm: That's seven shots apiece now for City and Tottenham but the former have the edge on shots on target. Some interesting refereeing today as Capoue is let off from a yellow card for treading on Silva's foot. The same foul on Danny Rose wasn't even given a free kick earlier.
1:21pm: This game is fast becoming the Aguero show as he has another strong attempt on goal but it's saved by Lloris. Spurs are making this far too easy for the home side.
1:17pm: PENALTY! Younes Kaboul clashes with David Silva in the box. and it's missed! Aguero going for a hattrick but slams the ball just a bit over the bar after his first attempt is saved by Lloris. He will be kicking himself for that mistake.
