FULL TIME
Manchester City win their eleventh consecutive game with a 3-0 victory over Burnley at a rain-swept Etihad.
They weren't at their vintage best, but they didn't have to be to record another handsome three points.
90'+2
Sane is played through in a similar position to his earlier goal, but this time he drags the shot wide.
90'+1
Huddersfield are currently beating Manchester United 2-1 and if they can hang on, City will move five points clear at the top of the league.
90'
Three minutes will be added on.
87'
Jesus is caught offside as he latches on to Silva's lovely through pass. City aren't satisfied with just the three goals this afternoon.
85'
Into the final five minutes. Burnley would be happy enough if the whistle went early. It is miserable out there.

GOAL! Sane makes it three!
They are running away it now! De Bruyne's exquisite pass releases Sane, and he makes no mistake as he slides the ball past Pope and into the bottom corner.

GOAL! Otamendi heads in City's second!
The defender rises above Mee to power home from De Bruyne's corner. It is so cruel on Burnley, but City will care little. They are heading for yet another victory.

The game has gone very flat, and that will suit Burnley. If they can keep the score at 1-0 they will hope to sneak a goal late on, like they did at Spurs earlier in the season.
66'
Sloppiness is creeping into City's game now as they pass the ball straight out of play deep inside their own half, conceding a throw-in.
64'
De Bruyne curls a cross to the near post, but it's defended well by Mee who concedes the corner.
62'
A second goal would kill Burnley's hopes. As it stands, Dyche's side are still very much in this game.
