It's a brilliant break from Villa. Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins link-up. There's two fouls in the middle but the referee tries to play advantage before eventually giving a free-kick.

Is this a shove in the back?

Christos Tzolis rises in the box to try and meet a cross. It sails over his head, but he felt he wasn't given a chance because of the contact from a Newcastle defender.

Chris Kavanagh disagrees.

That is the cue for further Norwich fans to head for the exit.

Raheem Sterling does well to keep the ball for City. He moves it out to the right and it comes back to Jack Grealish. He shimmies one way to create space but the shot is straight at the keeper.

It is so impressive from Man City; 80 minutes on the clock and they are chasing down like it is the first minute. They are still playing it quick, they still want to win it back.

Joao Cancelo has a pop from long range but it's comfortably wide.

The ball falls for Emiliano Buendia on the edge of the box but he curls it wide. Kasper Schmeichel probably had it covered anyway.

Ayoze Perez is on for Youri Tielemans.

A run out for Dwight Gayle. Bruno Guimaraes departs to vociferous chants of his first name from the away fans.

Newcastle break through Allan Saint-Maximin, who cuts back inside from the right and sends over a low ball that is just behind the charging Joe Willock.

Big chance for Joao Pedro and Watford. A free-kick is curled in towards the back post and Pedro nods it wide from a few yards out.

Has to hit the target!

Ashley Young has got a problem and needs treatment. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has sent Ayoze Perez off to warm-up.

City currently have two fewer than Liverpool in goal difference. Every one they can get today over this beaten Watford side will be an added boost.

James Maddison curls another free-kick over the wall and Emiliano Martinez has to push it around his left post.

This is very much a Sunday league kickabout for City now. Blow the whistle, ref.

Newcastle are very much in second gear now. They are playing with all the confidence and freedom that a 3-0 advantage affords, but they're keeping some of the energy in check.

Harvey Barnes is on for Ademola Lookman. Both teams are going for it!

Man City want more; they want as many as they can. Jack Grealish wants to get on the scoresheet and add to the few goals he's got.

Players will want to come off the bench and grab a few.

Emi Buendia is on for Philippe Coutinho.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall plays a nice one-two on the left but his shot is deflected into the side-netting.

Villa clear the corner and break down the right but Ollie Watkins' cross won't beat James Justin. End-to-end!

A few shirts are off in the away end. Loving life, the Geordies.
