Good afternoon and welcome to our live text coverage of the huge Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium. We have both United and City teams, which have just come in, so we'll have them with you imminently.

Looks like Rojo has damaged his shoulder after sliding along the deck. Looks like United will be forced to make the change.

Toure with the pass out wide, but the cross is cut out by Shaw. City have a corner here. And Rojo is down injured.

Rooney does well to track back to win the ball from Yaya Toure. Had to time that just right, and probably did.

Period of possession play from United. Fellaini blocks a Navas shot before Zabaleta lifts an effort over the bar. Better defending by Rojo to hold up Aguero.

Di Maria tries to spring Van Persie, but he has miles of ground to cover. And City look to break quickly to the other end.

The last time these teams were drawing at HT in a Manchester derby was on 8 April 2013, in a 2-1 home loss for Man City, after drawing 0-0 at HT.

Offside flag goes up against Aguero after he set off too soon. De Gea can hammer the ball long from his own half.

Off we go then for the second half of this one.

There goes the whistle for the break. City 0-0 United. But United are down to 10 men. Toure appeals for a penalty on the whistle. Seemed to be caught late by Rojo. Should have been a penalty.

We are into three minutes of time added on here as Demichelis is found guilty of handling the ball in the United box. Van Gaal with a timely slug of water.

Off goes Januzaj, and on comes Michael Carrick for the visiting side. United trying to get back to their dressing room on level terms.

Aguero down here clutching an ankle. Fellaini caught him late in the United box. Fortunate to avoid a penalty there.

Chris Smalling becomes the fifth Man Utd player to receive a red card in the Manchester derby, after Cristiano Ronaldo (x2), Jonny Evans, Alan Smith, and Roy Keane. Man City have seen just one player sent off - Bernardo Corradi.

United down to 10 men, and almost a goal down as De Gea misses the free-kick from Milner, but Kompany can't get his head on the deadball.

RED CARD! Smalling slides in late on Milner. That is a second yellow and he is off. Stupid sending off.

The first half-hour of Premier League matches between these clubs have seen just 22 goals - the two lowest-scoring 15 minute periods between the clubs. The last 15 minutes has seen 27 Premier League goals.

Di Maria with a chance to cross, but he ends up lifting the ball aimlessly into the City box. And on we go with a midfield joust for possession.

Milner can't get his foot around the ball as he tried to provide the cross from the Jovetic pass. Will be a goalkick to the visiting side, who opt to retain possession in their own half.
