Can Yaya Toure add to his impressive tally against Crystal Palace? The Ivory Coast man comes on in place of Kelechi Iheanacho.

This is my ball, I own this pitch and you'll play how I want you to.

That's David Silva for you, controlling the tempo of this game and he has been immense today.

Penalty shout for Crystal Palace? Fernando clears a ball which hits Martin Demichelis on the hand and goes away for a corner. The Argentine knew nothing about it and referee Jon Moss waves away the protests.

Another outswinging corner from Jason Puncheon and no problems for City dealing with it. They're not going to score like that.

Ch-ch-ch-changes. Aleksandar Kolarov cannot continue and has to be taken off on a stretcher. He looks in quite a bit of trouble.

Former Arsenal man Gael Clichy comes on and it's a straight swap at left back.

Left-back Aleksandar Kolarov is sat on the pitch looking in a bit of trouble. Can he play on? He's rubbing the back of his left leg.

Gael Clichy is out warming up. He'll need plenty of warming in this weather.

Do City's Raheem Sterling and Palace winger Wilfried Zaha go to the same barber? It looks like they've got a spider sat on their head.

The Palace man is getting on the ball a little more in the second half, swinging in a couple of crosses but City defend rigidly.

Crystal Palace on the front foot early in the second half, like they were in the first.

Another Yohan Cabaye corner floated away from goal which City have no problems clearing.

Swing a corner inwards and they'll score, I guarantee it. Give it a try.

It's fair to say that Manchester City playmaker David Silva has not been at his best since returning from a seven-week lay-off at the start of December.

The signs are Silva is getting some of his sharpness back, however. He impressed after coming off the bench against Everton in midweek and has been City's most influential player so far against Crystal Palace.

The Spaniard had more touches and played more passes in either half than anyone else in the first 45 minutes. He also made three key passes (one of which is shown by the yellow arrow), had four shots, and made one assist (blue arrow) when he set up City's first goal. Not a bad afternoon's work so far.

Lawro's 3-0 prediction looks a good bet so far...

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson pits his wits against a different guest each week this season - and he's predicting an easy home win in this one.

Lawro's opponent for the latest round of Premier League fixtures are Creed stars Michael B Jordan & Tony Bellew.

Everton fan and professional boxer Bellew plays 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan in the film, that sees Sylvester Stallone reprise his role as the former world heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa.

Balboa is trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson - played by Jordan - the son of his former rival Apollo Creed.

"I just think that Alan Pardew has to say to his players, 'Score the next goal in the game and get City on the back foot and we can get something out of it', but I can not see it happening."

And that is the last act of the first half. Man City in control.

Nearly a third as City slot into fourth gear.

Having grabbed his first, Sergio Aguero is now sniffing another, letting fly with a left-footed shot which was heading in, but Damien Delaney bravely blocks to keep the score at 2-0.

Seconds later, Aguero curls an effort over the crossbar. The Argentine is on it.

"It's been quite a scrappy game but how often do we see Sergio Aguero making the difference?"

A long way back for Crystal Palace now. They'll be happy just to get on the scoresheet.

City brimming with confidence and knocking the ball around nicely. Currently, they are top of the Premier League.

"What a daft goal from Crystal Palace's point of view. It was a deflection and completely beat Wayne Hennessey. I would expect my goalkeeper to get to that. Palace have conceded two goals and City are in control of this match and they have not played well."
