Minute By Minute

• 90 Min
  That's all from the Etihad. Great performance from the Reds today, just couldn't hold out. We'll be back for West Brom a week on Monday.
• 90 Min
  @suso30fernandez Not a bad game. I think we played better but we couldnt win. Great effort by the team. Tomorrow U21s.
• 90 Min
  Sturridge will be a doubt for the England game on Wednesday with a thigh problem, Rodgers reveals.
• 90 Min
  Rodgers on the Sturridge goal: 'Dzeko thinks it's a free-kick. You're talking about a minute or so after. The referee had told a couple of players – Gerrard, Sturridge – to play on.'
• 90 Min
  Rodgers now in the press room: 'Absolutely we deserved to win. It was an outstanding performance at a notoriously difficult place. The confidence of the players, the desire and the efficiency of the play. Going forward it's a real positive for us.'
• 90 Min
  @DietmarHamann Good game at the Etihad. Fair result but LFC slightly edged it...doesn't really help either side.
• 90 Min
  Liverpool now nine points off the top four but their toughest remaining fixtures - Everton, Spurs and Chelsea - are all at home. Thirteen games left.
• 90 Min
  Mancini: 'Liverpool probably should have stopped [for the goal]. But in the end the result was probably correct because Liverpool played well.'
• 90 Min
  Mancini: 'We didn't play well. Liverpool played better than us in the first half.'
• 90 Min
  Mancini giving his post-match press conference. First question - is the title over. 'No, absolutely not.'
• 90 Min
  Jose Enrique had more touches than any other player on the pitch 86. Gerrard second with 85, then Lucas on 73 and Gareth Barry 71.
• 90 Min
  Carra was actually the most accurate passer on the pitch. Lucas Leiva second with 91.9 per cent of 62 passes completed.
• 90 Min
  Liverpool's most accurate passer was Jamie Carragher at 92.6 per cent, though he made fewer passes than most with 27.
• 90 Min
  Liverpool had 54.3 per cent of the possession, twice as many shots as City (22 to 11). City had to make 29 clearances on their own turf - Liverpool 18.
• 90 Min
  @TerryMac777 Excellent performance from LFC, really unlucky not to get all 3 points, I don't have words in my vocabulary to describe how good Stevie G is.
• 90 Min
  Reaction from Brendan Rodgers coming up.
• 90 Min
  @Petermcdowall10 Signs are really good from Sturridge, his touch is brilliant, pace to burn and the understanding with Suarez will only improve.
• 90 Min
  @DizGillespie2 Disappointing again with result. Good performance dominated for long spells but could really have done with three points.
• 90 Min
  Liverpool were the better team but for the second time this week they have to settle for a 2-2 draw at one of the toughest grounds in the country. The fixture list looks kind from here on in, however, with all the tradionally difficult trips out of the way. Brendan Rodgers and his men will surely believe they can still make the top four.
• 90 Min
  The ball comes in but just won't fall for Skrtel. The referee is going to blow now, surely.
• 90 Min
  Suarez wins a corner right at the last...
• 90 Min
  A chance for Gerrard to deliver here deep in stoppage time. The free-kick comes in. Cleared. A goalmouth scramble then ensues but there aren't enough Liverpool players in there and City escape.
• 90 Min
  Daniel Sturridge is the Liverpoolfc.com journalists' man of the match.
• 90 Min
  Maicon clean through to cross here. What a foot in from Skrtel. Saved Liverpool, there.
• 90 Min
  Substitution: J. Allen for D. Sturridge
• 90 Min
  Five minutes of stoppage time. Last chance for either side to claim an important three points.
• 90 Min
  Sturridge, from 20 yards, forces a scurrying save from Hart, who palms the ball away. Skrtel gets there and wins a corner.
• 87 Min
  Substitution: S. Nasri for G. Barry
• 87 Min
  At the other end Johnson intervenes to block a cross. Corner comes in an Maicon heads narrowly over.
• 86 Min
  Johnson shoots over as Samir Nasri prepares to make his entrance.
• 83 Min
  Suarez jinks his way into space in the box. Cross somehow cleared but Gerrard has a chance to smash it...blocked.
• 79 Min
  Credit where it's due - that was an outstanding finish.
• 78 Min
  GOAL! Sergio Aguero: The ball is played forward and wide. Reina comes for it but Aguero gets there first and finishes from an acute angle.
• 78 Min
  Gerrard swings in a free-kick, Sturridge connects with his head and then Skrtel is inches away from getting a foot on it to make the score 3-1.
• 78 Min
  The away fans are jubilant.
• 77 Min
  ‏@JBcommentator What a strike by Steven Gerrard...the man is utter class.
• 75 Min
  Substitution: M. Skrtel for J. Enrique
• 74 Min
  Substitution: M. for D. Silva
• 74 Min
  Martin Skrtel preparing to come on.
• 73 Min
  GOAL! Steven Gerrard: Clichy clears to Gerrard, who controls with his chest 30 yards from goal before smashing beyond Hart.
• 72 Min
  Jamie Carragher having another imperious performance here. Digs in for yet another intervention as City probe.
• 71 Min
  First Booking: Javi Garcia: Trip on Suarez as Liverpool looked to mount a counter-attack.
• 69 Min
  @paul_tomkins Strurridge's hold up play and passing has been superb. As has his dribbling and shooting. Top all-round forward's performance.
• 66 Min
  City have now found a way get themselves into this game but as I type Liverpool are away thanks to a quality ball from Sturridge. Lucas is in a position to cross but it's to no-one. Downing eventually collects the ball and powers wide of Joe Hart's goal.
• 65 Min
  Aguero skips past Lucas and into the box. Real danger. Agger covers and between him and Lucas, Aguero finds his path to goal blocked. Barry then heads over after connecting with Milner's cross.
• 62 Min
  Downing swings the outside of his left foot at the ball to find Suarez, who takes a touch before curling wide.
• 61 Min
  Aguero and Agger clash in the air and the City man is down. Agger plays the ball out, prompting another round of sarcastic cheers.
• 60 Min
  Liverpool still dominating possession - 55.7 per cent.
• 59 Min
  Superb last-ditch defending from Carragher to thwart Silva's run through the box. City corner cleared.
• 57 Min
  First Booking: Jamie Carragher: Got the ball but it was from behind on Aguero. Carragher furious.
• 56 Min
  Substitution: A. Kolarov for M. Nastasic
• 55 Min
  Sturridge blasts one from distance. Right into the midriff of Gael Clichy.
• 54 Min
  Now Downing fizzes the ball across the box. It really is one-way traffic at the Etihad but Liverpool need to make this pressure count.
• 53 Min
  First Booking: Daniel Sturridge: Suarez plays Sturridge through, the England man beats Lescott and then falls easily.
• 51 Min
  Liverpool again the better side at the start of this second half. Downing plays the ball in, Suarez volleys across the face of goal and Lescott only just beats Carragher to it. Downing then heads wide when a cross comes in.
• 50 Min
  Downing floats it to the far post but City get it away eventually.
• 49 Min
  Liverpool have a free-kick in the same area where Suarez scored in the Anfield fixture. Suarez and Gerrard stood over it. Suarez takes and it's deflected for a corner.
• 48 Min
  Liverpool's best passer in the first half? Lucas with 39 played and a 92.3 per cent accuracy.
• 46 Min
  SECOND-HALF: City restart the game and straight away Milner almost catches out Pepe Reina with a cross-cum-shot.
• 45 Min
  Sturridge back out for the second half so not as injured as some people thought.
• 45 Min
  @OptaJoe 9 - Steven Gerrard has now equalled his highest ever assist total in a single Premier League season. Master.
• 45 Min
  @iamcheapskate Incredibly sporting of Sturridge to put the ball out of play like that. Good lad.
• 45 Min
  City website fella just told me Liverpool are the best side he's seen at the Etihad this season.
• 45 Min
  HALF-TIME: Liverpool have controlled the game but had to come from 1-0 behind to be level at the break, Sturridge with a controversial equaliser while Dzeko was floored.
• 45 Min
  Ball comes into the box. Suarez hits it first time on the volley. Hart gets down to make a comfortable save.
• 44 Min
  Horrible mix up between Zabaleta and Hart with Enrique lurking almost gives Liverpool the lead. Instead the ball trickles out for a corner. Which is cleared.
• 43 Min
  Sturridge looks to be nursing a thigh injury.
• 42 Min
  56 per cent possession for Liverpool in this first half, and eight shots to City's six.
• 39 Min
  Sarcastic cheers from the home support as referee Anthony Taylor awards a free-kick against Agger.
• 38 Min
  Overhit.
• 37 Min
  Johnson bursts down the right. His cross hits the roof of the net and then City break quickly to earn a corner.
• 36 Min
  First Booking: Jordan Henderson: Late tackle on Milner.
• 31 Min
  @JamesPearceEcho Shocking from Dzeko that. Miraculous recovery and didn't even need treatment - vindicating #LFC's decision not to kick it out.
• 30 Min
  City fans and players are furious but Dzeko was straight up on his feet and fine as soon as the goal went in.
• 29 Min
  GOAL! Daniel Sturridge: Liverpool continue to play even with Dzeko down on the floor and Sturridge smashes home from 25 yards.
• 26 Min
  Sturridge wins a free-kick off Lescott near the corner flag. Downing picks out Henderson on the edge of the box but his attempted volley is well off target.
• 23 Min
  GOAL! Edin Dzeko: Milner crosses low and Dzeko ghosts into the six-yard box to score against the run of play.
• 23 Min
  Lovely footwork by Sergio Aguero, who has strayed wide. Could be an opening but Carragher ushers him away.
• 22 Min
  Liverpool on top.
• 21 Min
  Joleon Lescott smacks a clearance against Sturridge, the ball ricochets off the striker and into the path of Suarez, who drags wide with just Hart to beat.
• 20 Min
  Sturridge thunders past Matija Nastasic down Liverpool's left. Too easy. His cross finds Suarez but the Uruguayan skews his shot.
• 18 Min
  Liverpool have had 55.3 per cent of the possession so far.
• 17 Min
  Suarez wins a corner, Downing swings it in and Agger connects. Hart looks to collect but Jamie Carragher wants it more. He pinches the ball but sadly for Liverpool his touch takes it away from goal.
• 16 Min
  @JamesPearceEcho Decent opening 15mins for #LFC at the Etihad. Confident in possession and dangerous on the counter.
• 14 Min
  City fans are comparing Glen Johnson, unfavourably, to Micah Richards.
• 13 Min
  Gerrard finds Downing with a superb crossfield pass. Downing chests down to Johnson, who lofts the ball over the City rearguard. Sturridge takes it past Joe Hart with one touch but Zabaleta intervenes at the last moment. Great football.
• 12 Min
  Mancini has now retired to his bench.
• 11 Min
  Liverpool almost operating in a 4-4-2 here, with Jordan Henderson on the left and Downing on the right.
• 8 Min
  Mancini and Rodgers both stalking their technical areas, protesting for every decision. Such an important game for both teams, with those around them winning this weekend.
• 7 Min
  Agger lands Reina in trouble with an overhit backpass. The Spaniard just about clears for a corner. Javi Garcia then heads over the bar.
• 5 Min
  Daniel Agger and Jose Enrique exchanging words after a miscommunication between them almost sets Pablo Zabaleta away down the right wing.
• 2 Min
  Liverpool clear the corner and Downing is away. Makes it to the byline but cannot cross towards Suarez.
• 1 Min
  Close. Fingertip save from Pepe Reina to stop David Silva opening the scoring with a 20-yard volley.
• 1 Min
  KICK-OFF: Suarez and Sturridge get the game underway as the travelling Kop sing You'll Never Walk Alone.

  The City players are going through their warm-up - no sign of the Reds yet bar Pepe Reina and Brad Jones.
• -1 Min
  City fan Oliver McPherson has defensive concerns: 'I think any team would miss Kompany and Toure and so I'm more concerned about the back four than the midfield. Barry and Milner will hold their own with anyone, but Mancini doesn't seem to be convinced with Lescott or the idea of two left-footed centre-backs.'
• -1 Min

  Earlier this season the sides drew 2-2 at Anfield. Twice Liverpool led through Martin Skrtel and Luis Suarez but City hit back through Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez.
• -1 Min
  Liverpool new boy Daniel Sturridge played 32 games for City in all competitions and scored six goals. He played for City against Liverpool in the 2006 FA Youth Cup final, scoring twice at the Etihad. Liverpool won the final on aggregate, however.
• -1 Min
  Shelvey: 'The semi-final win shows it can be done and hopefully we'll be able to do it again. I think we should have won in August. We had enough chances to win. Man City are a good team, they are the champions of England, so you have got to remember that. But if we go there and play the way we did at Anfield, then we will get something from the game.'
• -1 Min
  Jonjo Shelvey believes the Reds can take confidence from both the Anfield draw earlier this season, and our Carling Cup win over Roberto Mancini's men last term.
