Greetings and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League match from Eastlands. You may just remember the last time these sides met.

QPR just can't seem to string any passes together – just too easy for City so far.

Great build up play for City as Kolarov, Silva and Tevez all combine but then Kolarov looks to give the ball back to Tevez when he should have squared it to Dzeko.

Manchester City failed to drop any points at home last season after taking the lead. They last failed to win there after leading in February 2011 – a 1-1 draw with Fulham. (Infostrada)

Seven summer signings playing for QPR but they have offered little to no resistance so far. A procession for City thus far.

City win a free-kick down the right. Chance for Silva to put a ball into the box but he overhits it and it goes wide.

GOAL FOR CITY!!!! The corner is curled to the back post and Tevez fires a shot off Bobby Zamora. It lands to Yaya Toure near the penalty box and he fires the ball into the net to give City a deserved lead.

Make that seven corners for City.

City have just won their sixth corner already. QPR not happy about the decision.

Jack Rodwell nearly scores an own goal for the ages – he wins a tackle in midfield but he does it by blazing a looping ball back towards his goal. Joe Hart is alert but the ball actually goes just over for a QPR corner.

OFF THE LINE FROM QPR!!! Another corner is whipped in and Park and Fabio have to combine to clear away Dzeko's header. All City so far.

Ryan Nelsen has to do well to tackle ahead of Tevez after a low ball from Nasri.

Jose Mourinho is in the crowd watching City. Real Madrid in the same Champions League group as City of course.

Yet another corner for Manchester City – they play it short and then Yaya Toure is found at the back post. He tries to loop a header across the face of the goal but Green gathers.

Half hearted appeals from the City players for a handball against Faurlín but there was no way he could get his arm out of the way.

Roberto Mancini is taking charge of his 100th Premier League match today.

City dominating the possession early as you might expect.

Another corner and a great delivery from Nasri – Dzeko gets a head on it under pressure but it goes just a few yards wide.

Rather tame atmosphere at the start of this match – certainly a little less crazy than when the sides met in May.

Early corner from Man City is pushed away from Robert Green – he needs to impress today with Julio Cesar on his way.

And City get us underway.

New signings Javi Garcia and Scott Sinclair are being introduced to the home fans.
