Here's a reminder of some breaking news from the Netherlands...

Former England and Tottenham striker Gary Lineker: Football doesn't always need goals for it to be gripping!

BBC Radio 5 live's Danny Mills at Etihad Stadium

"City haven't just parked the bus, they have put their taxi there as well. City are mounting the pressure and Villa are getting deeper and deeper. City have been patient, there hasn't been much panic. If it gets to an hour and they still haven't scored, maybe the panic will set in."

MOTD's Alistair Mann at the Stadium of Light

"Jack Colback struck on 12 minutes and the Stadium of Light erupted with relief and joy. After that Sunderland have expressed themselves, epitomised by the second goal when Larsson fed Borini beautifully for the goal which will surely keep them up. They are in complete control."

Nearly, just nearly! James Milner whips in a cross to the near post and Samir Nasri attacks it but pokes wide of the Aston Villa goal. That was perhaps the best chance of the game so far.

Manchester City continue to load up attacks down the right, yet they looked at their most dangerous in the first 20 minutes when Aleksandar Kolarov was whipping in low, devilish deliveries from the left. Something for Manuel to ponder?

Better from West Brom as they finally launch a raid into the Sunderland half and Saido Berahino's shot, which appears to bounce just in front of the keeper, is beaten clear by Vito Mannone.

Former England and Tottenham striker Gary Lineker: Wonder who's most uncomfortable watching this, City or Liverpool fans?

Mike, via text: These last few weeks have been incredible as a Sunderland fan! Makes the miserable first 90% of the season worth it

Anonymous via text: What an amazing feat for Sunderland - so proud to be a Geordie right now. What a job Gus Poyet has done. Really is a miracle going from nowhere to safety!

Stephen in Aberdeen, via text: Everyone speaking about Pulis as potential manager of the year. Why no mention of Poyet? Even harder turnaround with the squad available, no?

BBC Sport's David Ornstein at Etihad Stadium

"Manuel Pellegrini may be a picture of calm in the technical area, but the Manchester City supporters are beginning to get a little tetchy as their team see continuous pressure come to nothing and Aston Villa gain the confidence to launch the occasional counter-attack. The visitors are, as predicted, parking the bus, with Jordan Bowery the man charged with leading the line as a very lone striker. The home nerves are palpable and Liverpool fans will be praying it stays this way."

Again Manchester City look like they've unlocked Aston Villa, only for an Aston Villa defender to make a late intervention. Yaya Toure's sublime pass lets in Pablo Zabaleta on the overlap and the Argentine squares for David Silva, whose shot is straight at Ron Vlaar. Excellent awareness from the big centre-half.

Opta Joe:, external 12 - Since the start of April, only Man City (16) have scored more Premier League goals than Sunderland. Form.

Matt Weston:, external A Sunderland win tonight will mean they will have picked up more than half of the points amassed in 32 games in just 5 games.

George Best:, external Us Canaries fans gave up hope a while ago. The board promised success, accepted mediocrity and got failure. Big changes needed.

Robert Pechey:, external Norwich fan, don't actually think we're one of the three worst teams, we've relegated ourselves! We'll be back!

"City were all up and Zabaleta got caught one on one. Weimann should have gone on, committed Zabaleta and he might have got a penalty."

Better composure from Andreas Weimann and Aston Villa would be 1-0 up. The Austrian striker breaks in a one-on-one situation when City commit too many men forward for a corner, but he shoots too early and his 30-yard daisycutter is deflected wide off the heel of Pablo Zabaleta. Suddenly, the home crowd are getting tense.

Aston Villa are keeping things tight at the back and they almost shock the hosts with a rare break. Andreas Weimann advances down the left flank and his deep cross is weakly volleyed wide by Jordan Bowery. The former Chesterfield man is unmarked at the far post but just can't connect properly with the cross.

Sublime football from Sunderland as Seb Larsson and Fabio Borini exchange passes before the former plays a gorgeous chip over the defence and the Italian striker is on hand to poke past an onrushing Ben Foster. That's Borini's ninth goal in a Black Cats shirt. He's certainly going back to Liverpool this summer a better player for his time in the north east.

Spanish La Liga

Big news from Valladolid - and it is nothing to do with the scoreline. Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo lasts just eight minutes before being substituted with an injury problem.

The Portugal skipper has been bothered with a thigh niggle in recent weeks and trudges off to be replaced by young striker Alvaro Morata. It does not look too serious, more like a precaution, but it will still be a concern for Madrid ahead of the La Liga title run-in and the Champions League final. There's talk of a strained hamstring...

It's a measure of Manchester City's territorial dominance that Vincent Kompany is winning back possession just inside the Villa half the moment an attack breaks down. Still the visitors hold firm though.

David Goodman:, external Sunderland looking comfortable, looking like it's Mission: Impossible accomplished

Al Mamun Russell:, external Congratulations to @SAFCofficial in advance to have survived in the top flight!

Sen. Ben-10, external Jack Colback scores and the miracle continues..Gus Poyet excited. Sunderland just about safe now!!!
