That’s all for today. Luke McLaughlin is covering the 3pm games and will also direct you to our City v Everton match report when it lands. See you a bit later for Wolves v Man Utd.

Manuel Akanji’s reaction

[Was a draw a fair result?] I don’t think so, no. We did way more for the game, created lots of chances and conceded a goal out of nothing. But that’s how it is.

We could’ve scored three or four goals but the ball didn’t want to go in. I’ll be honest with you: it can’t happen that we nearly lose the game in the last minute. We’re trying to attack but then we lose the ball and it was like a 6-v-2 situation. Luckily I blocked the shot. Things like this can’t happen.

[Are you still in the title race?] The season is not finished but that’s not our target. We need to focus game by game. Leicester away won’t be easy now with the shape we’re in.
