90+4'

FULL TIME. Dzeko's goal gives City the win that takes them three points clear of United once more.

90+3'

Some good work from Lescott in defence as City cling on to that precarious lead of theirs.

90+2'

We will have four added minutes and Aguero wastes some time as he is replaced by Adam Johnson.

90+1'

Aguero can't pull the ball down as he threatens to get in behind the Wigan defence and another chance goes missing for the Argentina man.

90'

And Milner has also gone into the book, presumably for his protestations.

89'

Figueroa is booked when handling on the half-way line to prevent Aguero from racing through. Mancini looks like he wants a red but it would be hard to judge that a clear goalscoring opportunity, even if he was the last man.

88'

Lescott is called upon to rise high and head away from another cross as City soak up more pressure.

86'

Meanwhile, Al-Habsi pulls out a quick but risky drag-back as Aguero comes in to challenge.

85'

Wigan bombard the City box with a number of aerial balls and this is getting very nervy for City.

84'

Big chance for Aguero! Milner turns the ball quickly onto Aguero and he nips into the box before dragging a rather poor effort wide of the post.

82'

Dzeko has a low drive that takes a deflection off the heel of Caldwell but Al-Habsi reacts well to tip the ball over the bar.

81'

Callum McManaman replaces Gomez for Wigan.

81'

Change for City as Nedum Onuoha comes on for David Silva. City retreat further into their shell.

80'

And another! This time for De Jong as he clatters into Rodallega with a rather reckless sliding challenge.

80'

And he is quickly followed by McCarthy, who is punished for halting a City break unfairly.

79'

Zabaleta goes into the book for a blatant pull of a shirt. Never in doubt.

78'

Zabaleta dinks in a cross from the byline but Wigan clear. The home defence then has to stand firm to keep City out again as Aguero flicks an clever pass into the box. As the pressure continues, Caldwell heads clear with Dzeko lurking.

76'

Wigan are far from out of this contest. City's lead looks rather insecure at present.
