33'
Silly, silly booking for Chris Smalling after he halted the progress of Hart in trying to wallop the ball from his box. Will that come back to haunt the United defender?
32'
Superb stuff from Di Maria with the free-kick. Ball bounces around before Hart collects. Appeals in there for a handball, but nothing doing from referee Michael Oliver.
31'
Zabaleta goes through the side of Van Persie, but no booking. Should really have been a yellow. Di Maria to take the free-kick.
30'
Toure decides to go for goal, but he can't get the ball back down after lifting it over the wall. Ball over the bar. And that is a United goalkick.
29'
Late challenge by Blind on Toure. Going to be a booking for the Dutch defender. City have a free-kick in a dangerous position. 25 yards from the United goal.
28'
A United win will carry them a point behind City in the table. Not many people would have been predicting that a few weeks ago. Despite being pinned back, United are well in business here at 0-0.
27'
26'
That United defence is so high. Looks far from solid. City enjoying some menacing possession, and a greater cutting edge. And on we go here.
25'
24'
De Gea needing a spot of treatment here. Little wonder. Brilliant stuff from the United goalkeeper. United being cut open far too easily.
23'
Another superb stop from De Gea to deny Aguero at point-blank range. Real bravery with Fernando crossing the ball to find his companion.
22'
Brilliant stop by De Gea to keep out the Navas effort. Almost the opening goal from City with United cut wide open.
21'
Aguero doing well to control a high ball. Manages to go beyond Rojo, but the United defender does well to stay with his man. Weak shot held by De Gea.
20'
Milner with the free-kick, but Fellaini covered the run of Demichelis. Asking a lot to outjump Fellaini in the air. Another goalkick to United.
19'
Rojo with a late sliding challenge on Aguero as he burst forward from deep in his own half. City have a free-kick coming up here.
18'
17'
United looking very comfortable. City then go backwards to get a much-needed feel of the ball. Blind brings it out from the back as a City offensive move founders.
16'
Di Maria to Shaw, but his cross fails to find Januzaj at the back post. United appear to be winning the 50-50 balls so far. Very encouraging for Van Gaal's masterplan. To quote an Oasis track.
15'
Jovetic takes out Januzaj with a bit of a late challenge. The United youngster seems to be in the mood so far this afternoon.
