    Man City 3-0 Stoke

    Raheem Sterling, now on the left, twists and turns before David Silva takes over and fires one of those driven angled crosses which Jack Butland manages to get a toe to to divert away from danger.

    Man City 3-0 Stoke

    More lovely play from Man City.

    This time goalscorer David Silva finds Kevin De Bruyne to his left. The Belgian tries to find Gabriel Jesus but keeper Jack Butland stops that from happening - which no doubt came as welcome relief to the England man.

    Six mins 'til HT Stoke. Hang on.

    Stoke on the attack.

    Zouma.

    Zouma still has it.

    Zouma fires wide from 20 yards.

    But at least he showed a bit of chutzpah.

    I thought it might end 5-0.

    Might have a re-think.

    David Silva

    Wow!

    You have to feel a little sorry for 18-year-old right-back Tom Edwards who is making his debut for Stoke.

    Anyway, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane torment him down the left. Sane plays a ball across goal which Raheem Sterling brilliantly pulls back first time for David Silva.

    The diminutive Spaniard loses his footing first but recovers quickly to fire in low.

    Man City 2-0 Stoke

    Nearly 3-0.

    Raheem Sterling and David Silva combine.

    The Spain international, who has been marvellous this season, tries to walk the ball into the net but finds there are too many Stoke players in his way.

    Will the home side ease off?

    Please watch that De Bruyne pass again and again on MOTD later.

    And again.

    Raheem Sterling

    Mind bending.

    Kevin De Bruyne produces arguably the pass of the season.

    The Belgian with a Ronaldinho style 'look one way and pass the other' picks out Leroy Sane.

    The German, in front of goal, plays it square to England international Raheem Sterling who slots in.

    Simple yet brilliant.

    Man City are the Premier League's Harlem Globetrotters.

    Gabriel Jesus

    Gabriel Jesus with his sixth of the season.

    The Brazilian gets ahead of Mame Biram Diouf and prods in Kevin De Bruyne's 'great cross' from close range.

    Wait.....

    It results in Nicolas Otamendi steaming into the area and heading well wide of the goal. Seems like he shouted "leave it" and then made a mess of it. If you shout "leave it" it has to result in an effort of target.

    Has to.

    Man City 0-0 Stoke

    Good build-up from Man City ends with Raheem Sterling firing a low angled drive wide of Jack Butland's right-hand upright.

    The little winger has had a great season so far with six goals in the bag.

  15. WHAT A MISS!published at 8 mins

    Man City 0-0 Stoke

    Maaaate!

    Man City's Leroy Sane misses from eight yards with no-one else around him.

    The German collects a great ball from Kevin De Bruyne (are they anything but great?) and smashes over.

    It feels like a 5-0.

    Mark Hughes is wearing a suit and tie - bit too warm for that Mark.

    Meanwhile, back on the pitch Raheem Sterling runs into the right side of the area and plays a low angled cross that tries to find Gabriel Jesus, however Jack Butland dives low to pinch the ball ahead of the Brazilian.

    Man City full-back Kyle Walker's leg goes through the advertising hoarding behind Ederson's goal.

    He's OK, the hoarding isn't.
