Full-time

Manchester City 2-2 Tottenham

Lloris holds a hopeful cross and Walker goes down with a touch of cramp. An exciting game is petering out into a draw.

De Bruyne proves too quick for Dier, but Wanyama is able to deflect his near-post cross off intended target Delph.

Four minutes of added time signalled by the fourth official. Is there a late twist to come?

Guardiola's final change sees Fabian Delph replace Silva. Stones also came on for Clichy a little earlier.

Guardiola sank to his knees in frustration after that goal was chalked off. What a lift that would have been for everyone at City.

Jesus wheels away in ecstasy after turning home De Bruyne's diagonal ball at the back post. However, his celebrations are cruelly but rightly cut short by the offside flag.

What an eventful introduction.

Gabriel Jesus

An instant impact from Jesus, whose dangerous cutback just evades Sane. He then heads De Bruyne's cross onto the roof of the net.

City send on 19-year-old Jesus in place of Sterling. Time for some divine intervention, perhaps?

I'll get my coat...

Guardiola's fury will be exacerbated tenfold after Tottenham grab an equaliser just 67 seconds after that controversial Sterling miss.

Kane cleverly flicks Christian Eriksen's low pass into the path of Son, who sweeps his shot beyond Bravo and into the far corner.

Game on.

 Heung-Min Son

Goal: Manchester City 2-2 Tottenham (Heung-Min Son)

Sterling is sent scampering free beyond the Spurs defence but provides an insipid finish after a clear push to the back from Walker that knocks him off balance.

Guardiola is apoplectic with rage. That should surely have been a penalty and a red card.

Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling

Winks sweeps a pass out for Rose, who drives a disappointing effort well wide and quickly apologises to his teammates.

Guardiola shows his frustration on the touchline after an uncharacteristically poor cross from De Bruyne is cut out by Wanyama. He should have pulled it back for Sane.

Jesus is warming up for City. Will we see him at some stage during this final 20 minutes?

A real worry here for Tottenham as Alderweireld limps off with an apparent hamstring injury. He is replaced by Harry Winks.

Pochettino surely cannot afford to be without both Alderweireld and Vertonghen during such a crucial stage of the season.

City had a half-hearted penalty claim waved away earlier when Sane went down under pressure from Dier.

This time they appeal more vociferously as Sterling is brought down by Rose, but replays show that was a fantastic last-ditch challenge from the Tottenham left-back.

Son has also avoided a booking for kicking the ball away.

Apparently you write Tottenham off at your peril. Alli heads home to reduce the deficit after a magnificent Walker cross deflects off Kolarov. That is his ninth goal in 10 matches.

It's another first chance conceded by Bravo, but in fairness there was very little he could do about that. Lloris is certainly leading the way in terms of blunders tonight.

Dele Alli

Goal: Manchester City 2-1 Tottenham (Dele Alli)

City double their lead and it's another horrible moment for Lloris. The Spurs captain makes a complete hash of Sterling's cross and that allows De Bruyne to net from close range.

This is the least that Guardiola's men deserve, in truth. Wretched Tottenham have a real mountain to climb now.

Kevin de Bruyne

Goal: Manchester City 2-0 Tottenham (Kevin De Bruyne)

A frustrated Alli shoves Otamendi to the ground to try and clear the way for a quick free-kick. Yellow card.

Finally City's pressure tells and they break the deadlock as a perfect long pass from De Bruyne picks out the excellent run of Sane.

Lloris races out to intervene but ends up heading the ball against the hand of the German international, who taps into an empty net.

Leroy Sane

Goal: Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham (Leroy Sane)

The second half is off and running. Pochettino has made a change by hooking Wimmer and sending on Heung-Min Son.

A thoroughly impressive and dominant first half of football from City, but Guardiola will be frustrated that they have no goals to show for their impressive movement.

Pep Guardiola

Tottenham can count their lucky stars that they are still level at 0-0. They have not been at the races at all.

Half-time

Manchester City 0-0 Tottenham

Kolarov picks up City's first booking for hauling down Kane.

Two minutes of added time to be played.

Kane races into the channel to pick up a pass from Dier. You could be forgiven for forgetting that he was even playing this evening.

Twitter/@TelegraphDucker

Aguero surges past Alderweireld and produces a low left-footed shot from a tricky angle that is palmed wide by Lloris. That looked to be hitting the side netting anyway.

Tottenham are second best in all areas and have been caught sleeping too many times at the back during this first half. They will be very lucky to go in at the interval with a clean sheet still intact.

A real Hollywood save from Lloris to keep out Aguero's header after a useful ball from De Bruyne.

Tottenham get an offside decision and take the subsequent free-kick in City's half. Bizarre.

Sane heads City's latest chance wide and Lloris intercepts an Aguero cross intended for Sterling.

Still goalless after 35 minutes at the Etihad.

Leroy Sane

Positive defending again from Otamendi to prevent Wanyama from connecting with Rose's enticing cross.

Wanyama then blasts over from distance. Tottenham are now operating with a back four with Dier pushed into midfield.

Otamendi is unlucky to concede a corner and heads clear after Mousa Dembele tries to keep a Tottenham attack alive.

Kyle Walker and Gael Clichy are involved in a bit of a running battle here.

Dier is inexplicably caught in possession by Aguero and De Bruyne drags a low shot wide of the far post.

Sergio Aguero

Tottenham have sat notably deep during this opening 25 minutes. A rare foray forward ends with Dele Alli being flagged for offside as he moves to collect Harry Kane's cute reverse pass.

Hugo Lloris stretches low to his left to make a fine diving save after Tottenham's timid defence give Silva far too much time and space to manoeuvre.

The goalkeeper is then left rooted to the spot as a low drive from Zabaleta fizzes agonisingly wide.

A reminder that the much-maligned Claudio Bravo has conceded 14 goals from 22 shots on target in his past eight games. City's opponents have netted with their first chance in half of those matches.

Twitter/@MiguelDelaney

This has been a positive start from City. Otamendi peels off the back to send De Bruyne's free-kick across goal, but Tottenham are just about able to clear their lines.

Wimmer, under pressure from Zabaleta, sloppily gifts possession to City in a dangerous area. Sergio Aguero lashes an effort over the crossbar.

Wimmer and Eric Dier have both accrued early yellow cards.

City probe through the middle and De Bruyne looks to tee up Zabaleta, who gets forward from right-back. He is denied by a crucial last-ditch challenge from Toby Alderweireld.

A quick snap of Gabriel Jesus warming up before kick-off...

Gabriel Jesus

De Bruyne plays in Sterling, who drags Rose across the field but is too reluctant to shoot.

An early slip from Pablo Zabaleta almost opens the door for Spurs, but Danny Rose's powerful left-wing cross strikes Nicolas Otamendi.

Victor Wanyama is slightly fortunate to avoid a caution as he grabs the ball after a coming together with Kevin de Bruyne.

Referee Andre Marriner gets proceedings underway. Let's hope for a cracking finish to an exciting day of Premier League action that has already seen Swansea deal a big blow to Liverpool's title hopes and Wayne Rooney break Manchester United's all-time scoring record.

Two alterations from Guardiola, who drops John Stones in favour of Aleksandar Kolarov. Leroy Sane also comes in for Bacary Sagna, with new arrival Gabriel Jesus named as a substitute alongside both Kompany and Fernando.

Tottenham's only enforced change sees Kevin Wimmer deputise for the injured Vertonghen.

The teamsheet is in...

£27m Brazilian starlet Gabriel Jesus is fully fit, registered and available to make his City debut today. Fernandinho remains suspended, but Vincent Kompany and Fernando could also both feature after injury. Ilkay Gundogan is not expected to play again this season, of course.

For Tottenham, Jan Vertonghen is expected to miss around six weeks after tearing his ankle ligaments against West Brom. Erik Lamela, absent for three months now, has undergone a scan on a lingering hip injury that Pochettino admits is concerning.

"I don't understand the lack of respect for amazing players when people say they are not good enough for me. Maybe the expectations about my coming here and the commentary on us winning 10 games in a row were exaggerated. Maybe I'm not good enough for them."

It's been another difficult week for Pep Guardiola, who last week ruled his side out of the title race after an embarrassing 4-0 thumping at Everton. Such a loss - their fourth in eight Premier League matches - left Manchester City fifth and 10 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

City are likely to be sorely tested once again this afternoon by an in-form Tottenham side brimming with confidence that ended Guardiola's 100% start to life in the top-flight with a 2-0 win at White Hart Lane back in October.

Spurs hammered West Brom last week to move up to second and equal their club record of six straight wins in the top-flight. They have not won seven league matches in a row for 50 years.
