Minute Commentary
90' FULL TIME SUMMARY
So both teams take a point from an engaging contest at the Britannia. Peter Crouch gave the Potters a first half lead just before the quarter hour mark, forcing the ball home from close range, before Javi Garcia equalised with a 35th minute header. Stoke had the best of the majority of the second period, with Charlie Adam increasingly influential in the centre of midfield but it was the champions who went close to stealing it in injury time, as Garcia saw an effort deflected onto the post before Eden Dzeko's lob was cleared off the line by Ryan Shawcross.
90' FULL TIME
Stoke City 1, Manchester City 1.
90' OFF THE LINE!
So close for the visitors! Eden Dzeko breaks through the Potters defence and chips an effort over Begovic. The ball appears destined to hit the back of the net, but Ryan Shawcross somehow gets back to hook clear off the line.
90' OFF THE POST!
Gael Clichy steals in behind the Stoke defence and wins a late corner for the visitors. Javi Garcia meets the cross with a firm header, but his effort bounces onto the post off Begovic and back into the arms of the ‘keeper.
90' SUBSTITUTION
Both managers make their final substitution. Michael Owen is on for Stoke, replacing Peter Crouch, whilst Edin Dzeko replaces Mario Balotelli.
88' FIRM STRIKE
Asmir Begovic palms away a vicious Nasri drive. The visitors are upping their game in search of a late winner.
87' PENALTY APPEAL
Samir Nasri takes a tumble in the Stoke penalty area. Mark Clattenburg takes a long look before waving play on.
84' SUBSTITUTION
Tony Pulis makes his second change, as Geoff Cameron comes on for Charlie Adam.
83' DOMINATING POSSESSION
Manchester City are having all of the ball now, but Stoke are as well organised as ever and look pretty secure at the back. It might take something special to win this one.
80' TAKING A POINT?
Stoke now appear content to sit with men behind the ball and take a hard-won point from this one, as we enter the final ten minutes of regulation time.
77' OFF TARGET
Still aggrieved at the incident with Shawcross, Balotelli sends a wild volley wide of the target.
76' OUT OF SIGHT
Confusion at the Britannia, as there is an ‘off the ball incident' between Shawcross and Balotelli. The Italian claims he was struck by an elbow, but neither Mark Clattenburg nor his assistant spotted the tussle.
74' SUBSTITUTION
Scott Sinclair makes way, as Silva joins the action.
72' IMMINENT ARRIVAL
David Silva is stripping off his tracksuit on the touchline. Will the Spaniard be able to conjure up a late winner for the visitors?
69' SUBSTITUTION
Tony Pulis makes a switch, replacing Michael Kightly with Matthew Etherington.
68' MAN MARKING
Gareth Barry is keeping a close eye on Charlie Adam; the Scotsman's growing influence was certainly what prompted that change from Mancini. Still a little tough on Tevez though.
67' MOVING UP A GEAR
That Toure effort seems to have given the visitors some renewed impetus. Maicon looks to cross from the right, but his effort is blocked by the first defender.
64' SUBSTITUTION
Here's a puzzler from Roberto Mancini. Carlos Tevez is substituted with Gareth Barry taking the Argentine's place.
62' TOURE EFFORT
After being on the back foot for most of the half, the champions almost grab the lead at the Britannia. Yaya Toure bursts from deep and exchanges passes with Sinclair before testing Asmir Begovic with a firm shot. Stoke then clear from Maicon's corner.
60' STAR SIGNING
A big cheer goes up as Michael Owen jogs out to start his warm-up. How long until we see the former England striker?
58' GROWING INTO THE GAME
Charlie Adam is having a really good second half for the hosts, pulling the strings in the centre of the park. The same can't be said for Samir Nasri, who has really looked out of sorts this afternoon.
55' BOOKING
Javi Garcia sees yellow for a clumsy challenge on Kightly.
54' CORNER - STOKE CITY
Michael Kightly's shot is deflected wide for a Stoke corner, which the visitors manage to clear. The Potters are on top during the opening exchanges of the second half.
51' CAN LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE?
Peter Crouch, who scored that unforgettable wonder-volley in last year's fixture, tries to replicate the magic from Charlie Adam's raking pass. The City defence are alert to the danger on this occasion, however, and bundle the striker off the ball.
49' CORNER - STOKE CITY
Stoke work a short corner to Michael Kightly, but Maicon heads away the former Wolves man's cross.
47' FREE KICK
The visitors win a free kick as Mario Balotelli is tripped by Glenn Whelan. Joleon Lescott chips the ball towards Samir Nasri, but the Frenchman is beaten in the air by Robert Huth.
46' KICK OFF - SECOND HALF
Stoke get the second half underway. Both sides are unchanged from the end of the opening period.
45' HALF TIME SUMMARY
The scores are level at the break, after an eventful first 45 at the Britannia. Manchester City made a bright start but have looked below their best, with debutants Javi Garcia and Maicon both a little slow to adjust to life in the Premier League. The Potters took the lead in the 14th minute, Peter Crouch bundling home after a suspected handball, before Garcia nodded past Begovic from a Tevez free kick to equalise 10 minutes before the interval. We'll be back with second half coverage in a few moments.
45' HALF TIME
Stoke City 1, Manchester City 1.
45' OVERHIT
Scott Sinclair's cross is too deep for Mario Balotelli. It matters not, as referee Mark Clattenburg penalises the Italian for a push.
44' CORNER - STOKE CITY
Another Potters corner is wasted, as the ball curls through the penalty area and lands behind for a goal kick.
43' CORNER - STOKE CITY
The home side win a corner, delivered by Adam. Mario Balotelli nods clear.
40' TEVEZ ATTEMPT
Carlos Tevez, who has been the visitors' stand-out performer so far this afternoon, forces another save from Begovic. That goal seems to have breathed new life into the champions.
39' SIMPLE SAVE
Mario Balotelli tries his luck from the edge of the area. Begovic makes a comfortable stop.
37' PARRIED BEHIND
Brilliant again from Tevez, teeing up Maicon for a volley which stings the palms of Asmir Begovic. Stoke clear from the resulting corner.
35' GOAL - GARCIA
Would you believe it? JAVI GARCIA draws a line under a difficult first 35 minutes in English football, nodding home from an inviting Tevez free kick. Stoke City 1, Manchester City 1.
32' CORNER - STOKE CITY
Crouch threatens again from Adam's corner, as Joe Hart punches clear under pressure. Scott Sinclair made a good challenge in the build-up to that Potters set-piece; the former Swansea winger has been the pick of the visitors' debutants so far this afternoon.
30' LOOKING FOR A BOOKING?
Charlie Adam is living dangerously here. The former Blackpool man was lucky to escape without a booking when he kicked the ball away a couple of moments ago, and has since made a couple of mistimed tackles.
28' DISJOINTED
Has Roberto Mancini handed out too many debuts this afternoon? City look as sharp as ever in attack, but with new faces Maicon and Javi Garcia in defence and midfield they look a little disjointed as they attempt to move the ball upfield.
25' CONTROVERSY
Apparently, television replays show that Peter Crouch handled the ball in the build-up to the Stoke goal. We're sure to hear plenty more about that, should the visitors end up on the losing end of this one.
22' OVER THE TOP
Better from the visitors, as Mario Balotelli turns wonderfully before lifting his shot over the crossbar.
22' CHARLIE'S CHOICE
Another tricky moment for Garcia as he's mugged by Charlie Adam, who then slams a shot off target. It was the wrong choice by the Scottish international, who really should have played in the unmarked Marc Wilson.
21' ON THE BACK FOOT
It was all Manchester City before that goal, but Peter Crouch's strike seems to have kicked the Potters into life. Can the champions regain the initiative?
20' DIFFICULT START
None of the City defenders covered themselves in glory for that Stoke opener but Javi Garcia was perhaps the chief culprit, missing his challenge at the vital moment. Not exactly a dream start for the former Benfica man.
17' PENALTY APPEAL
The visitors appeal for a spotkick as Mario Balotelli hits the deck under the challenge of Ryan Shawcross. Mark Clattenburg waves away the appeals.
15' GOAL - CROUCH
Stoke have the lead against the champions! Truth be told, it's poor defending from the visitors, failing to deal with a bouncing ball in their penalty area and allowing PETER CROUCH to bundle through and slot a close-range effort past Joe Hart. Stoke City 1, Manchester City 0.
12' WASTED
The Potters have the chance to deliver the ball into the box as they win a free kick in a threatening position. Glen Whelan's delivery, however, is poor and the visitors are able to clear with ease.
10' CLICHY CROSS
All eyes are on Maicon this afternoon, but Gael Clichy has made a fine start to the game at left-back. The Frenchman whips a teasing cross into the box, troubling the Stoke defence.
9' INTIMIDATING ATMOSPHERE
The Stoke fans are certainly living up to their reputation at the Britannia, kicking up a right old din. Every Man City touch is greeted with deafening jeers.
6' JUST WIDE
Brilliant stuff from Carlos Tevez, wrestling away from Robert Huth before fizzing a shot goalwards, which is deflected behind. The home side clear from the corner kick, but the Citizens have made the brighter start to this game.
5' CUT OUT
Nice work from Scott Sinclair, skipping towards the Potters penalty area, before Yaya Toure's attempted pass is intercepted.
4' CHANGE OF APPROACH
Stoke have won three throw-ins so far, all of which have been played short. Rory Delap and Ryan Shotton are both absent this afternoon although Geoff Cameron, who is on the bench, can certainly hurl one in.
2' OFFSIDE
City win the first free kick of the afternoon, as Peter Crouch strays offside.
1' KICK OFF
City get the ball moving to start the match.
0' A MARK OF RESPECT
After the emotional events of this week, ‘You'll Never Walk Alone' plays out across the Britannia. We'll be underway in a moment or two.
0' TEAM NEWS
Steven Nzonzi and Charlie Adam make their full Stoke debuts whilst Michael Owen, as expected, is named amongst the Potters substitutes. Dean Whitehead and Geoff Cameron drop to the bench, taking their places alongside the returning Matthew Etherington. Roberto Mancini hands starts to three of his new signings, as Maicon, Javi Garcia and Scott Sinclair line up as part of the visitors' first XI.
0' FULL LINE-UP - MANCHESTER CITY
Hart, Maicon, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Garcia, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Tevez, Sinclair, Balotelli. Subs: Wright, Kolarov, Kolo Toure, Barry, Rodwell, Silva, Dzeko.
0' FULL LINE-UP - STOKE CITY
Begovic, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Kightly, Whelan, Nzonzi, Walters, Adam, Crouch. Subs: Sorensen, Cameron, Whitehead, Upson, Etherington, Jerome, Owen.
0' REF WATCH
Mark Clattenburg, from County Durham, will take charge at the Britannia. The 37-year-old referee produced two yellow cards during his first Premier League match of the season, the 1-1 draw between Norwich and QPR. He also oversaw Russia's 4-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Israel on Tuesday evening.
0' SQUAD NEWS
Peter Crouch and Jonathan Walters are set to continue in attack for the hosts, while new signing Michael Owen could make his first Stoke appearance from the bench. Charlie Adam is expected to start in midfield, while Matthew Etherington remains a doubt with a hamstring problem. Maicon could make his City debut, with Micah Richards ruled out with an ankle knock. Mario Balotelli is likely to start up top for the visitors, with the returning Sergio Aguero expected to be named amongst the substitutes. Gareth Barry is sidelined with a groin injury.
0' THE FORMBOOK
Stoke, who have drawn their opening three games of the new Premier League season, have now gone nine top-flight matches without a win, a run that stretches back to April 7th and the victory over Wolves. Seven of those fixtures have ended level, and Potters fans will be hoping Charlie Adam and Michael Owen can add the goals that will start turning some of those draws into wins. City, meanwhile, have picked up seven points from their first three matches, scoring eight goals in the process. Of more concern to Roberto Mancini will be the 5 goals against, with the Citizens conceding twice in the games against Southampton and Liverpool.
0' PREVIOUS MEETINGS
These sides last met at the Britannia back in March, as Peter Crouch's extraordinary opener was cancelled out by a Yaya Toure strike in a 1-1 draw. City had an easier time of it at the Etihad Stadium when the Potters paid a visit just before Christmas, with a Sergio Aguero brace and an Adam Johnson goal securing a 3-0 victory. The Citizens, however, have failed to win any on any of their five previous trips to the Potteries; you have to go back to the less-glamorous days of January 1999 for the last City away win in this fixture, as a Gerard Wiekens goal bagged the three points for the visitors in the old Division Two.
0' PREVIEW
Michael Owen has declared himself fit to make his Stoke City debut this afternoon, as the Potters take on champions Manchester City at the Britannia Stadium. The former Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester United striker is likely to be named amongst the home side's substitutes alongside fellow newboys Maurice Edu and Steven Nzonzi, while Tony Pulis is set to hand Charlie Adam a place in the starting line-up for the first time. The visitors are likely to have debutants of their own; Maicon could make a first City appearance at right-back, and Roberto Mancini will have plenty of new options on the substitutes' bench. Javi Garcia, Scott Sinclair and Matija Nastasi are all likely to feature in the champions' match-day squad, while Sergio Aguero could make his return from the knee injury picked up during the opening weekend match against Southampton. The game kicks off at 1500BST; join us for all the team news and build-up from 1415BST.
