Start of match

End of match

  • 90'
    FT: City 3-1 Leicester. Despite a consolation goal for the Foxes and very brief spell of momentum, City easily see out the victory on what proved to be a lethal afternoon for them. This result takes them to three points behind Arsenal ahead of the ultimate showdown next week...
  • 90'
    Leicester hit the post!! It was Iheanacho who was well threaded through, and the Nigerian thumps it onto the post. Foxes have had a good last ten minutes here.
  • 90 '
    Soyuncu booked.

en el 75' (Leicester)
  • 75 '
    GOOOOOOAAAAL FOR LEICESTER!!! Surely just a consolation, but it's Iheanacho who taps in from close range after Ederson saves the initial header. Better communication between Ederson and Phillips needed there.
  • 73 '
    SUB CITY: Grealish off for Gomez
  • 71'
    Ederson called into a bit of action, but a very simple save as he collects a weak shot.
  • 68'
    Mahrez' meandering down the wing earns a corner.
  • 67'
    Leceister fans must've got bored with this as all the action's in their half, miles away from the away fans' section of the Etihad.

    SUB City: De Bruyne off for youngster Palmer.
  • 60'
    Great save from a lethal Mahrez shot there. Iversen just tips it over the bar after the Algerian had curled one towards the top corner at pace.
  • 58'
    Grealish doing what he does best, forcing the foul outside the box.
  • 55'
    Corner for the home side after racing forward.
  • 52 '
    SUB City: Rodri off for Phillips.

    Walker breaks down the right, but his cross lets him down as he can't find any teammates in the area.

    SUBS for Leicester: Kristiansen and Vardy off for Iheanacho and Thomas
  • 46 '
    SUBS for City: Akanji and Alvarez on for Stones and Haaland.
  • 46'
    Back underway for the second half here in northern England, will be interesting to see if Leicester can get anything out of this.
  • 45'
    HT: City 3-0 Leicester. MC just completely unplayable in that first half, racing to a three-goal lead thanks to a superb Stones opener before Haaland equalled Salah's 32 PL goal record with his impressive brace. Absolute mountain to climb for the visitors here...
Card

Yellow card

a Manchester City
  • 45 '
    Yellow for Bernardo after he trips up Maddison, silly and unecessary yello that.
  • 41'
    KdB tries his luck from distance, but it goes well over.
  • 39'
    Free-kick for Leicester quite far out.
  • 35'
    City making things look easy here, just stroking the ball round the midfield.
  • 31'
    Leicester tried to get forward there, but no getting past Walker and Stones at the moment.
  • 28'
    It's just domination from City here, 80% possession and 3-0 up inside the first half-hour. Looking like game over already here for Leicester.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 25' (Manchester City)
  • 25 '
    GOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLL FOR CITYYYY!!! Who do you think it was? Yep, that's right... Haaland again!!! The Norwegian is well fed through by De Bruyne, who makes it look easy, poking it over Iversen for 3-0.
  • 21'
    Vardy has a half chance, but the Englishman was well offside.
  • 17'
    Free-kick for City after Tielemans commits a clumsy foul.
  • 16'
    This is going to be a mountain to climb here for the Foxes now. Already two down at the Etihad... could be a long afternoon. They've barely even had a sniff of the ball.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!
en el 13' (Manchester City)
  • 13 '
    HAAAALND MAKES NO MISTAKE!! It's goal number 31 in this Premier League season for the striking viking. Absolutely unstoppable strike, right in the corner.
  • 12 '
    PENALTY TO CITYYY!!! Grealish storms down the right before putting in the cross, which Ndidi put his hand up to stop. After a VAR check it's given, clear pen, no idea how the ref missed that one first time round to be honest...
  • 10'
    City keeping their attacks going, corner now...
  • 6 '
    GOOOOOOOAAALLLLL FOR CITYYYY!!! Well, that didn't take long, did it?! The chance fell to John Stones after the initial corner bounced out to the edge of the box. Absolute collector's item that, with the English defender firing home into the top corner, great goal.
  • 5'
    Mahrez probably should've done better with that one, after the Algerian finds himself free at the back stick, but his shot it blocked out.
  • 4'
    The Foxes have been camped inside their own half for these opening minutes, that's no shock though.
  • 1'
    Aaaaaaaaand we are finally underway here in Manchester for what promises to be a great contest.

    Both sides coming out here at the Etihad!!
  • PRVW
    Tension building here at the Etihad with just under half an hour to go until kick-off...
  • PRVW
    Five changes for Dean Smith's first line-up in charge, with a raft of players getting a chance from the get-go.

    Three changes from Pep after the midweek thumping of Bayern: Akanji, Ake and Gundogan OUT for Walker, Laporte and Mahrez.
  • PRVW

    As for The Foxes, it's new manager Dean Smith's first game in charge after being appointed midweek, and he'll be hoping for an immediate impact in order to turn around their measly run of form - 7 losses and 1 draw in their last 8.
  • PRVW
