That's the final whistle, City hold on for an unconvincing win but they all count, particularly at the ends of the table these guys operate - City close the gap on leaders United to 12 points, Villa stay in the relegation zone.

Dawkins shows some good pace and a nice turn but his shot is blocked. Al Ahmadi on it now, but Delph doesn't pull wide so he has to look backwards. Now Delph is booked, his 10th of the season, meaning he misses two matches.

Holman wins a corner for the hosts right at the death. Will we see Brad Guzan? Not yet, and a terrible corner from Holman lands on the roof of the net.

Holman with a superb far post cross that Clark heads across goal AND BENTEKE FLIES IN but Kolo Toure gets it clear!

Four minutes added time being played.

CITY SUB: Barry comes on for Silva. Some cheers from the home fans, some jeers. Fickle bunch!

Milner drills a fizzing low ball towards Dzeko sliding in near post but Guzan gathers.

Good spell for Villa now as they lay camp on the edge of the City box. Benteke rolls Nastasic, now El Ahmadi but they can't find a way through and a Clark long ball is too much for Benteke.

Benteke goes down in the box after a bit of a scramble for the ball but the referee turns away. Didn't see anything like a foul there. CORRECTION - the replay shows Nastasic may well have tripped Benteke!

VILLA SUB: Al Ahmadi replaces Westwood.

Silva plays a fine through-ball to Nasri, but he gets his bearings wrong and fires well wide.

VILLA SUB: Dawkins replaces Weimann.

JUST WIDE FROM GARCIA! He flew in with a right-foot volley after pulling off Lowton. Nice effort!

Clark concedes a corner with a vital interception as Dzeko skipped away down the right.

Bennett swings over another decent cross but Benteke's header is weak and easy for Hart.

Weimann gets on to a Benteke flick-on but he hammers his half volley well over.

Delph goes on a surging run but Kolo Toure flies in with a slide tackle.

Benteke on the right waits for support before surely being fouled by Clichy, but the ref waves play on.

A wild clearance from Clichy flies backwards and out for a throw on the Villa left wing. But then Westwood overhits a crossfield pass and City have it back.
