Zack Steffen Alert to palm away a stinging Noble shot, and no major alarms in passing it around at the back 6
Kyle Walker linked up with Mahrez and overlapped a couple of times, but it all looked a bit half-hearted 6
John Stones Can't do any more than this kind of solid, assured defending coupled with slick, precise passing 7
Nathan Ake Doesn't have the solid presence of Dias or the build-up of Stones and Laporte 6
Aleks Zinchenko Great block on Yarmolenko's shot capped a very assured return to action 7
Fernandinho Rolled back the years by giving City a firm foundation, sniffing out trouble repeatedly 8
Ilkay Gundogan Did more than most to get the Blues rumbling, but his shooting boots deserted him 7
Kevin De Bruyne Always involved, but the fine margins are not his friend at the moment - nothing came off 5
Riyad Mahrez One of those nights where nothing came off for him - the crosses hit the first man, the shots were sliced 5
Cole Palmer Ballooned his big chance over the bar but some of his link-up play was superb, and he grew into the game 7
Raheem Sterling Repeatedly got into great positions and started to make them count- teed up Palmer for the big chance 7
