Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League game between Manchester City and Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

The final whistle goes, and Manchester City go top of the Premier League table in style!

Three minutes of injury time to be played.

Silva has added an extra level of class to this game since coming on, as you would expect. But it's not as if City needed him at all today.

Barring a miracle, Villa will have won just four of their last 24 Premier League away games (W4 D8 L12), a run which started with a 1-3 defeat against City.

Silva has a decent low strike from a wide angle saved and held at the near post by Given.

Hargreaves is playing remarkably high up the fiel since he came on. He has clearly got a taste for scoring after doing so on his City debut.

Bannan fouls De Jong, and is booked for kicking the ball away.

City stringing goodness knows how many passes together as Villa chase shadows.

Lovely flick from Balotelli as he helps out the defensive effort in his own half. It's showboating time for City now.

City substitution: Owen Hargreaves replaces Johnson.

Villa substitution: Marc Albrighton replaces Delph.

Another wonderful move almost ends in a goal for Silva! Balotelli dinks a weighted pass into the path of Johnson, who picks out Silva's run with a reverse ball and the Spain attacker fires just wide of the far post!

"Boring, boring City!" is the chant from the home crowd. They have been anything but this season.

GOAL!! WHAT A GOAL TO MAKE IT 4-1!! Milner starts the move by pinging an exquisite crossfield ball over to Johnson. The winger skips inside and lays the ball across for Milner to hit into the top corner! The former Villa man does not celebrate against his former club.

Johnson robs Agbonlahor of the ball and executes a nifty turn, but Delph slides in to bring him down.

Interesting to see Silva coming on when this game is surely already won.

City substitutions: Kolo Toure and David Silva replace Richards and Yaya Toure.

GOAL!! 3-1!! Delph gets his cross in from the right at the second attempt and Warnock is free to smash a strike home at the far post!

Villa substitution: Barry Bannan replaces Heskey.
