So, Man City close the gap on the two north London teams, and potentially on leaders Leicester too - they play later. Aston Villa? They remain rock bottom.

For all the reaction from the Etihad - go here.

For a match report - go here.

There will be three minutes of stoppage time before Villa are put out of their misery.

Chris Johnson: There's nothing quite like a Villa match to lift the spirits after a tough week at work  

Villa have still only had one shot at goal, let alone on target. It came when Jordan Ayew tested Joe Hart before the break.

This game was finished as a contest a long time ago. City are spraying passes around, while Villa and their fans just want to go home.

And Villa have brought on Scott Sinclair, who did not get many Premier League minutes here when he played for City. He replaces Jordan Ayew.

City's last change sees Manu Garcia on for his Premier League debut, replacing Yaya Toure.

Here's Sergio Aguero's second goal, a thing of beauty as far as team moves go, and it might make up for that penalty miss. Perhaps.

Another Villa change - Leandro Bacuna is on for Jordan Veretout

No hat-trick for Sergio Aguero, not yet anyway. He plants his penalty against the post.

Ciaran Clark fouls Kelechi Iheanacho. No doubt about that one.

Chris Wright: They shipped 3 at Liverpool and right now they're pasting Villa 4-0. Just what is going on with Man City then?

Another change for City. Kelechi Iheanacho is on for David Silva.

Villa introduce their first sub - Rudy Gestede replaces Gabby Agbonlahor.

"City will nudge a little bit closer to Tottenham, Leicester and Arsenal if it stays like this, and everyone knows City have the players to make things happen."

Matt Andrews: At least put up a fight Villa. Oh no, wait, you gave up fighting months ago  

This graphic showing territory and possession is almost exactly the same as it was at half-time - the difference? Three City goals in 12 second-half minutes.

Raheem Sterling is on for Wilfried Bony and almost makes an instant impact, testing Brad Guzan with a looping shot.
