City substitution – Bony off, Fernando on

77 mins: The hosts make their second change of the match as Bony is replaced by holding midfielder Fernando.

A very defensive change from Pellegrini with De Bruyne moving up front with Sterling, Toure and Navas just behind him.

Is the City boss holding on for a point?

Sevilla substitution – Ever Banega off, Michael Krohn-Dehli on

An attacking move by the visitors.

City chance – Yaya Toure

64 mins: The resulting free-kick is cleared by Sevilla but the ball falls to Toure after a few phases of play. Unopposed the midfielder tries his luck from distance but curls an effort very high over the crossbar.

21:05
Manchester City substitution – Pablo Zabaleta off, Aleksander Kolarov on

60 mins: Pablo Zabaleta’s evening is over as Aleksander Kolarov comes on as his replacement.

The move sees Bacary Sagna move to his natural right-back slot with Kolarov coming in at left back.

21:03

59 mins: Sevilla are playing through City’s midfield with relative ease at the moment and it seems like only a matter of time before they’ll make the English side pay again.

Pellegrini barks out some instructions to his side during Wednesday’s clash against Sevilla

21:00
Sevilla chance – Kevin Gameiro

55 mins: Sevilla should be ahead again and they couldn’t have wanted the chance to fallen to a better man in Kevin Gameiro. Sadly though the France international’s free header goes over the bar from six-yards out.

A fantastic chance gone begging for the visitors.

20:58
GOAL! WOLFSBURG 1-0 Psv – Das Bost (47 mins)

Sevilla injury – Yevhen Konoplyanka

50 mins: Sevilla have an injury worry as goalscorer Konoplyanka lays stricken on the floor following the smallest of contacts with Jesus Navas. He’s gone down holding his knee but appears to be able to run it off after some treatment from the medical team.

HALF-TIME: Manchester City 1-1 Sevilla

The referee brings an end to a breathless first half here as both sides go into the break level. Pellegrini will be relieved as his naive 4-4-2 formation has been exposed time and time again by the Sevilla attack. As it stands though they go into the break level.

20:29
GOAL! GALATASARAY 2-1 Benfica – Lukas Podolski (33 mins)

20:28
GOAL! ATLETICO MADRID 2-0 Astana – Jackson Martinez (29 mins)

20:28

40 mins: This is game is ridiculously open at the moment – providing great entertainment for the neutrals but a nightmare for the managers. End-to-end doesn’t do it justice.
