Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Bournemouth vs. Manchester City. We’ll bring you team news and build-up over the next hour, followed by full text commentary.

Bournemouth get the game back underway at the Vitality.

The half-time whistle goes and the City players pat each other on the back as they head down the Dean Court tunnel. It's 3-0 at the break.

Silva is clattered in midfield, but he's going to be fine to continue - thankfully: it would be a shame to stop watching such a masterclass.

City have taken their foot off the gas slightly, and who can really blame them. 3-0 up before half-time, this has been a stellar performance from the Citizens.

It's not quite so one-sided since that ridiculous spell of City domination. Eunan O'Kane dries to juggle his way through the City midfield, and achieves it, but his resulting shot is blocked.

Went to see this last night, otherwise the reference would have breezed straight over my head. (Batman vs Superman)

Aguero wriggles his way into the box and goes for the far top corner, but his shot doesn't quite curl in time.

Grabban again heads over the bar. Neither have been easy chances, but both have come from crosses from deep - highlighting City's weakness in those wide areas.

Grabban flicks a back-header over the bar at the other end as Bournemouth look to go toe-to-toe with their illustrious visitors. Credit where it's due, the Cherries have not allowed their heads to drop at any stage during this first-half shoeing.

De Bruyne marauds forward and feeds Aguero, who clips a long cross over to Silva. The Spaniard takes it on first time, but can't get over the volley and balloons his effort over the bar.

Caballero dives full-stretch to protect City's 3-0 lead. The loose ball is run clear by Aguero and City build another attack, but it's encouraging for Bournemouth that they've been able to stop the one-way traffic.

Bournemouth try and keep the ball for a spell in midfield to give themselves some respite from the relentless City attacks.

City have the best attacking players in the country, that much has never been in dispute, it's just frustrating that they turn up so rarely. PSG will be watching this performance nervously ahead of their Champions league tie on Wednesday.

Fernandinho unleashes a thunderbolt that dips over the head of Boruc and crashes back off the crossbar.

Again City pour forward and win a corner with brilliant link-up play. This is superb stuff from Pellegrini's side.
