Alvarez looks destined to score but Konsa blocks the header and City get a corner. It comes to nothing. 17:55 Yellow for Konsa 65': Konsa is booked for clattering Alvarez. De Bruyne picks the ball up off Grealish on the break and tries to feed Alvarez but the pass is intercepted. Silva then gives away a foul. 17:52 Game on? 63': Watkins has the chance to run at Akanji and does just that.

What off the field troubles...? Our report is below. Rodri opened the scoring early on with a simple header from a corner as Villa struggled to put their stamp on the game, and Ilkay Gundogan netted from an Erling Haaland cross minutes later. 18:24 FULL TIME - Man City 3-1 Aston Villa 90 +5': That's your lot. 18:22 Off the bar! 90 +3': Duran hits the bar! From nowhere. Blimey. 18:21 Four minutes added on 90 +1': De Bruyne's ball through is hooked out for a corner by Cash. City can only win a throw from it. Four minutes added on.
Jarred Gillett, who made that awful call at Southampton yesterday, is on VAR. 16:56 Villa come forward 26': Villa get a shot away via Bailey and he wins a corner of his own. The ball finds its way to Watkins at the back post but his cross back in results in a City free-kick. City could do with a clean sheet here. They haven't look right defensively for a while. 16:53 Villa living dangerously 22': Villa's line is really high here, which is weird. Haaland will beat Chambers every time. De Bruyne gets the ball on the right and tried to feed Haaland but his cross is blocked. City win a corner. De Bruyne pulls it back to Grealish, who hits it on the volley. It's a nice hit but it goes out for another corner after a quick check for handball.
City haver a penalty! Grealish hits the deck under challenge from Ramsey. He's clever, and it'll be a spot kick. 17:13 Dias booked... for running aggressively? 43': This is weird again. I mentioned Jarred Gillett earlier and this is almost a carbon copy of the Lemina incident yesterday. Dias is booked when Kevin De Bruyne is fouled. Is there a new rule that the third person is always booked? Strange. 17:11 Gundogan makes it two 40': De Bruyne pings an ball up to Haaland and Chambers doesn't realise Martinez is running out, and heads it past his own 'keeper. Haaland almost has a tap in but it's a bit wide. He crosses instead, and Gundogan does the rest.
