Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Manchester City FC and West Bromwich Albion FC is underway.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. West Bromwich Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Filip Krovinovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 421 games and scored 871 goals.

- 65' West Bromwich Albion FC is showing some good football. However, West Bromwich Albion FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 70' Charlie Austin is replacing Karlan Ahearne-Grant for the West Bromwich Albion FC side.
