    Riyad Mahrez got cheered by both sets of supporters when he came on just then.

    Former Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho got a bigger cheer from the home supporters.

    Interestingly, Claude Puel went ahead with the double change even though Harry Maguire had just had treatment.

    Maguire looks OK but if he suffers a recurrence, Leicester have no more changes left.

    Will: Honestly other than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who on the planet is currently better than Kevin De Bruyne? The man is an absolute genius, the best passer the Premier League has seen since Paul Scholes.

    Ricky: Credit must go to the whole Man City team. It's not quite Pep Guardiola's tiki-taka he had at Barcelona, but it's still lovely football to watch.

    Claude Puel will be hoping for some fairytale magic from the bench as he sends on Riyad Mahrez and former Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho on. Mahrez gets a fairly mixed reaction from the away end.

    Fousseni Diabate and Ben Chilwell are the two to make way.

    This game has quickly got away from Leicester.

    Foxes boss Claude Puel needs an attacking spark so he has told Riyad Mahrez to get warmed up.

    In his statement yesterday, Mahrez said he would continue to give 100% for Leicester.

    They need something from him now.

    Nicolas Otamendi flicks a header from a Kevin de Bruyne corner just wide as Manchester City keep up the attack. This could get much worse for Leicester now that Manchester City are playing with the comfort of a two-goal cushion.

    Viv: I have run out of words to quantify Kevin De Bruyne's brilliance. Some players need to step up and match his efforts game in, game out!

    Ash: Man City have been far from great tonight. Just shows how poor Leicester have been.

    Sergio Aguero

    Manchester City take control as they add a quick second with Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero combining once again but Kyle Walker deserves real credit for this goal.

    The full-back keeps the ball alive on the right, hooking a cross that Kasper Schmeichel only half clears and the ball is eventually worked to De Bruyne. The midfielder puts Aguero through on goal and the striker makes no mistake with a fierce finish.

    Lewis Wilson: What was Harry Maguire doing there? Watched the ball roll past him.

    Andrew Priestly: Kevin De Buryne is beyond world-class. That ball to Sergio Aguero is literally inch perfect, you can’t defend against that.

    Simple tap in, but you won’t see a better goal this weekend. Kevin De Bruyne with an even better assist than before.

    The ball into Aguero is just pin point. Couldn’t have picked that ball up and placed it any better. It’s exhibition football.

    Sergio Aguero

    Manchester City start the second half as they did the first - by taking the lead.

    It's that man Kevin de Bruyne with the assist again, sliding the ball across goal and leaving Sergio Aguero with a relatively straightforward tap in.

    City have been dominant, had maybe seven or eight chances. Were they all clear-cut? Maybe not. There have been some decent saves from Kasper Schmeichel too.

    Like I said at the start Leicester with Jamie Vardy in the team will always be threat.

    But no need to panic and Guardiola will probably say the same, they will continue to wear teams down in the latter stages as they have done all season

    Dave: In about 1974 Red Star Belgrade beat Liverpool at Anfield and gave the finest display of passing and running off the ball I have ever seen. Man City at their best aren't far behind.
