And that just about wraps up our coverage of this game.

Thank you very much for joining us.

That's it, all over. Referee Michael Oliver blows his whistle to put Cardiff City out of their misery.

What a performance from the visitors.

We're into the final stages of this match and a miserable afternoon for Cardiff is almost over.

Manchester City have been relentless.

Looks like we're finishing this game as we started. That is to say, with very little happening!

Manchester City look in no danger of conceding a late goal as it stands. Their midweek blip looks exactly that, a blip.

So close!

Raheem Sterling puts in a pinpoint-accurate free-kick towards Cardiff keeper Neil Etheridge's right, but he palms it away for a corner.

Fortunately for the hosts, City fail to threat from the set piece that follows.

As the time ticks away in this game, Manchester City somehow look even more comfortable and Cardiff City appear to have given up all hope of posing a threat.

Sean Morrison concedes a free-kick in a dangerous area. Could City get a fifth goal?

A third and final change for Manchester City.

John Stones comes on for Fernandinho. Just over a quarter of an hour remains.

Cardiff City also make a substitution. Junior Hoilett is hauled off for Josh Murphy.

Despite being 4-0 down and with the rain belting it down, the Cardiff City supporters are still in fine voice.

Credit to them. Unfortunately it's not gone their way this afternoon. It could have been 5-0 to Manchester City as Phil Foden floats a ball into the chest of Bernardo Silva who controls it before firing over the bar.

Another change for Manchester City.

Phil Foden comes on for Ilkay Gundogan, who's had a tremendous game.

Cardiff City make a change this time.

Kenneth Zohore comes on for the hosts in place of Danny Ward.

Sergio Aguero's 300th Manchester City appearance comes to an end.

He's replaced by Riyad Mahrez as we enter the final third of this game.

Now that should be 4-0 and Leroy Sane should be on the scoresheet.

He's closer this time, mind. Ilkay Gundogan fires a free-kick into the box and Sane nods just wide.

Big chance for a Manchester City fourth, here. Sergio Aguero tries his luck from close range before Leroy Sane fires high soon after.

Such is City's quality, they manage to keep it in play through Raheem Sterling before Cardiff eventually clear their lines.

This game's got it all. Stunning long-range finishes, neck-achingly good headers and now Daf Pritchard rocks up with a Fast Show reference. Amazing scenes.

Meanwhile on the pitch, Bobby Reid almost gives Cardiff City something to cheer about, but his deflected effort is dealt with by visiting goalkeeper Ederson.

You may have noticed this season that Jazz Richards now only has 'Jazz' on the back of his shirt.

Niiiice!

Danny Ward turns in the box and curls an effort towards the Manchester City goal which is well saved by Ederson.

Maybe Cardiff City aren't out of this match just yet, eh?

An applause from both sets of fans as Lee Peltier is stretchered off the pitch. It's unclear what exactly has happened but it looks like a shoulder injury.

He's replaced by Jazz Richards.

Cardiff City defender Lee Peltier is in a fair amount of discomfort soon after the restart.

In a battle to tackle the onrushing Manchester City forward Leroy Sane, he falls and looks to have done some damage to his shoulder as he landed.

He's going to be brought off by the looks of it, but there's a lengthy delay while he's attended to.
