After a conversation between captains Micah Richards and Vincent Kopmany, Villa decide to take the corner.

And almost score.

Rudy Gestede flicks an effort which floats narrowly over the bar.

There would have been real controversy had that gone in!

"That is deemed by the City players, and any human being who is right thinking, as bad sportsmanship. That was pretty unsavoury all round."

Rudy Gestede throws the ball back in Joe Hart's direction. The goalkeeper makes a mess of controlling it and Villa earn a corner. The City players are not happy at the speed at which the striker launched the ball back at the Englishman.

Charles N'Zogbia is down after being accidentally caught in the face by Bakary Sagna.

N'Zogbia's footballing career has been halted for a few minutes.

Colin, Leeds: What is the Villa supporter's beef with Delph (and Barry in the past)? He's gone from a club fighting off relegation to one that's fighting for the league and champion's league. Yes, there's more money to be had for playing for City than Villa but why is that an issue? People leave one workplace for another all the time, they don't get abused for it. Bitter bunch indeed.   

Alistair, Edinburgh: Had a lot of time for Garde at Lyon, and genuinely hope he succeeds with Villa, but let's not get carried away with one solid hour against a profligate City side please! 

Big man Rudy Gestede with a prayer on the sidelines before being sent on by manager Remi Garde in place of Jordan Ayew.

Man City bring on Kelechi Iheanacho for Raheem Sterling, who hasn't had the best of games.

Last seven minutes. Is there a winner for either side?

Very neat from Villa, they're not panicking at this stage, keeping the ball nicely.

Jordan Veretout's cross is catching practice for Joe Hart though.

At the other end, Jesus Navas breaks clear, but Raheem Sterling can't control his cutback.

Wasteful from Aleksandar Kolarov. He has time and space to pick a man out from the left but shanks it out of play. He apologises to his team-mates and so he should!

Yaya Toure off and Fabian Delph comes on to a hostile reception.

Imagine he scores the winning goal in the last minute and goes wild in celebration. Hashtag scenes.

If you're looking for a man-of-the-match, look Micah Richards' way. He has headed, blocked, tackled everything in front of his path today.

Leandro Bacuna almost gets to a through ball but Joe Hart scampers out to collect.

Villa fans with loud boos as they see Fabian Delph ready to come on.

Jordan Veretout's corner isn't the best and Vincent Kompany can stoop to head the ball away.

Charles N'Zogbia has been heavily involved since coming on and earns a corner...

Smash! Brilliant tackle by Ciaran Clark on Spaniard Jesus Navas, the Spaniard didn't fancy that one and he fully felt it.

"It's not been Scott Sinclair's type of game where he can take the full-back on. It's more been about work rate. Scott likes to weave his magic but in the modern game it's difficult for him to show his skills."

National League South side Whitehawk are 2-1 up against National League outfit Lincoln.

They're the only team beating a side from a higher division at the moment in our 14:00 GMT kick-offs. Watch Jake Robinson's excellent individual goal for Whitehawk below.

Second Villa change. Leandro Bacuna on, Scott Sinclair off. He'll go and sit on the bench, did that a lot at City so he's used to it.

20 minutes left to play. This match is finely poised.
