Phil Foden should probably be on the scoresheet.
The England international is playing as a false nine this evening in place of Erling Haaland, and he's just missed a great chance.
City work the ball patiently on the right, and as the cross comes in, it drops for Foden.
He connects with a clean volley that he sends miles over the bar.

Anthony Gordon is a lucky boy there is no VAR!
The Newcastle winger carries the ball down the right and weaves inside.
He takes a heavy touch and loses possession.
Marc Cucurella picks it up, and Gordon throws himself into a tackle, leaving the Spaniard in a crumpled heap on the floor.
The referee deems it only worthy of a yellow, but on another day, that could have been a red card.

Oh, this doesn't look good at all.
Micky van de Ven has had to be withdrawn for Tottenham.
The rapid Dutchman is in pain as he leaves the pitch to be replaced by Destiny Udogie.
Ange Postecoglou and all who support Tottenham will hope that is nothing serious, but it looks to be his hamstring.

So, since we last visited Old Trafford, there have been four goals.
Manchester United are currently beating Leicester 4-1, and the home fans are loving what they are seeing.
Alejandro Garnacho got on the end of Diogo Dalot's cross to make it 2-0.
Bilal El Khannous then pulled one back with a lovely low shot off the inside of the post.
But six minutes later, it was 4-1 as Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro scored.
In fact, Casemiro should have a hat-trick, given he's just missed a free header.

That's the end of the first 45 minutes at the Amex, and it's all square.
It's been a very even game, but the Seagulls have arguably had the better of the chances.
Both managers have plenty of options on the bench, so expect to see some of the extreme talent coming on in the second half.

Out of nowhere, we've suddenly had a flurry of goals.
Newcastle United are 2-0 up over Chelsea.
Sandro Tonali nicked the ball off Enzo Fernandez on the edge of the box, and the tackle ran perfectly for Alexander Isak, who tucked the ball home.
The Toon soon doubled their lead through a quick free-kick.
Isak delivered a ball into the box that Joe Willock flicked on, and Axel Disasi bundled it beyond his own goalkeeper.
Arsenal have the lead over Preston thanks to a Gabriel Jesus volley.
And that man Jhon Duran has scored again, so Villa are back to 1-1 against Crystal Palace.

Bad news for Crystal Palace as Eberechi Eze can't continue.
The Eagles' star man opened the scoring with a brilliant flashing header, but he's suffered some form of injury and has been withdrawn.
Daichi Kamada is on for Eze.
Meanwhile, the Eagles should have doubled their lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta, but he headed over.

It's rolled into Tariq Lamptey, who pops up from right-back, he advances into the box.

Alexander Isak picked him out in the box with a stunning cross.
It was begging to be put away, but Joelinton hit the post from around six yards.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will undertake Manchester United's pre-match media duties on Thursday ahead of this weekend's game against Chelsea as the club continue talks to hire Ruben Amorim.
Former Red Devils striker Van Nistelrooy is in temporary charge while United continue to negotiate with Sporting Lisbon for the services of head coach Amorim.
The Dutchman, at the helm for Wednesday night's Carabao Cup clash with Leicester at Old Trafford, live on talkSPORT 2, may still be in charge for Sunday's Premier League match.
Sporting announced on Tuesday that United have agreed to pay the £8.3million release clause in Amorim's contract.
But reports in Portugal claim the talks are now focused on which members of his backroom staff the 39-year-old will want to take with him to Manchester.
There is also reportedly a 30-day notice period in Amorim's contract which needs to be negotiated.
The United hierarchy moved quickly to land their top target after sacking Erik ten Hag in the wake of Sunday's 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
It was United's fourth defeat in nine Premier League matches this season and left them 14th in the table.

Ahead of Manchester United's Carabao Cup tie against Leicester this evening, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has penned some programme notes.
The ex-United striker was brought back to Old Trafford in the summer by Erik ten Hag to work with is fellow Dutchman as an assistant.
However, Ten Hag is gone, and Ruben Amorim is in line to be his permanent replacement.
But for now, Van Nistelrooy takes the team, and he's paid tribute to Ten Hag.
Writing in the programme, he said: "As I am sure everyone can imagine, I am writing these notes with a huge amount of mixed emotions.
"Erik ten Hag brought me to Manchester United in the summer, and while I have only been part of the coaching staff for a few months, I will always be grateful to him for giving me the opportunity, and I am saddened to see him leave."

talkSPORT understands that Manchester United's pursuit of Ruben Amorim risks being drawn out.
This is because Sporting want their boss to stay in Portugal until the November international break before then allowing him to head to Old Trafford.
Amorim himself wants Friday's game CF Estrela da Amadora to be his last.
However, he wants to be respectful to his current club and could wait.
Sporting are due to play Manchester City in the Champions League next week, and it seems Amorim will be in charge for that one, meaning he'll face Pep Guardiola this season as Sporting boss and Man United gaffer.
The Red Devils are continuing to negotiate with Amorim's club in order to find a solution to a strange situation.
