No-one would have predicted Saturday's hero at Everton would be 20-year-old Nico O'Reilly, making his fourth league start. Against Villa it would be Matheus Nunes. It's another puzzle solved for Guardiola. Another solution found. It will be fascinating now to see if City can keep alive their hopes of domestic silverware alive.

Both sides pressed for a winner in the second half but the game looked like it was heading for a draw that would have arguably suited both sides, until a late, late Matheus Nunes goal sealed three vital points for Manchester City, a result that takes them up to third place.

Today's match at the Etihad Stadium is exclusive to Sky Sports, showing on its Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and UHD channels. If you already have Sky Sports as part of your TV package, you can stream the game via its Sky Go app, but cord-cutters will want to get set up with a Now account and a Now Sports membership to stream the game.
