I'm here for you Joe, go and have a brew and a lie down.

These 6am starts for a 7am football news live page are a bit of a slog.

I can hear the tiny violins playing as I type.

Emi Martinez being at fault that is, not Harry the Man City fan.

Oh gosh, I'm rambling again. Quick Craig Nelson, take over running the live please!

"Level on points on xG if the game finished early and the opposition hadn't have gotten a penalty...you'll never sing that."

Thanks for the message Harry, lots to unpack there.

But I'm interested in "Emi Martinez doubter" - was he at fault for City's first goal?

Thanks both. Learning loads about how xG is calculated this morning.

And loads about just how badly Aston Villa do in the final few minutes of matches. Cheers for your Get Involveds so far!

I looked and I thought 'you know what, he [Axel Disasi] is all right here'. They were doubling up and I felt there was no space. I thought 'get it to him [Jeremy Doku] a little bit quicker'.

It was just on transition at that point and Doku, we have seen him do it so many times. It was a really positive move. His ball [to Matheus Nunes], I have not seen him do that too much, right across the face. It was very, very good.

Two defeats in 12, Anon. And those other 10 were all wins.

It's still a formidable record, and all with an FA Cup semi-final to come.

Thanks, Matt.

Let's hear what the two managers had to say...

Aston Villa fans showed their dissatisfaction with Axel Disasi, giving his performance as a second-half substitute against Manchester City the lowest rating of 4.70 in the BBC Sport report.

The French central defender has struggled to make a mark at Villa since arriving on loan from Chelsea.

He has largely been used in an unfamiliar position at right-back, often introduced from the bench as a replacement for regular starter Matty Cash.

Disasi was given a torrid time by Paris St-Germain's Desire Doue after being sent on for the second half of their first leg in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Villa conceded twice after Disasi's introduction, following raids down the PSG left, to lose 3-1.

And the Chelsea loanee was once again at fault against Manchester City, as Jeremy Doku capitalised on his poor positioning to set up the winning goal for Matheus Nunes.

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

Manchester City fan Rachel Herdson on 5 Live Breakfast: "[Matheus] Nunes has received a lot of stick this season, sometimes justified, but he is a makeshift right-back - he was never brought in to play that position.

"I am really pleased for Nunes because he has given his all on the pitch and he does get some stick. [It was] some finish from him and hopefully that will give us the lift now until the end of the season and we can go on and qualify (for the Champions League)."

Nope, that was me (Joe).

One hour and 42 minutes before a mistake today.

Thanks for spotting, Liz.

The contrast between the two managers' body language said it all.

A dejected puff of the cheeks from Aston Villa's Unai Emery came in the backdrop of Pep Guardiola's exaggerated celebrations.

The Manchester City boss jumped around punching both fists after watching Matheus Nunes score his first Premier League goal for the club in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to see off one of their rivals for Champions League qualification.

Portuguese central midfielder Nunes had been heavily criticised for his contributions as a stand-in right-back this season, but repaid Guardiola's faith in him with interest as he popped up at the far post to slot home Jeremy Doku's centre.

On the opposite flank, Villa's own stand-in right-back, French central defender Axel Disasi, had been left floundering as Doku caught him out of position to burst into the box before delivering a killer, curling cross with the outside of his right boot.
