Hello and welcome to live coverage of Stoke City v Manchester City.

That's it. Full time. Manchester City go 16 points clear and Stoke sit in 19th. An easy victory for the home side.

There are five minutes of added time for Stoke to hit three goals.

Gundogan for Jesus.

Here comes Ramadan for the last minutes.

Both sides appear content to leave it at 2-0 and get home without any injuries.

Bernardo on for Sterling.

Silva advances on goal, spinning in the box as others around him draw defenders away, and he slices a shot wide of the far top corner.

Jesus lashes a volley wide of the near post.

Otamendi has jogged off with a bandaged head. That has left a sour taste in Stoke's mouth. A drop-ball takes place, and City rush forward from it, the ball worked to Sterling to burst through the middle. It's not really clear if City were cynical, or just disagreeing with Stoke, but Stoke are seriously hacked off.

Otamendi and a Stoke player are down in the box after a clash of heads. Before that, Sane's powerful shot was beaten away by Butland.

Sterling jinks into the box, sells his defender a dummy - I think it was Stafylidis - and he almost gets a penalty when the defender brushes his arm against it.

Crouch is flagged offside after chasing a long ball. Crouch probably should have been on from the start given the only occasional problems the City defece have had is from long balls tonight.

There's nothing happening now. The game has been reduced to the occasional foul and not much else.

Crouch on, Shaqiri off.

City have Stoke pinned back in their half now, and they must just want to get home and to bed now

City have a corner on the left wing. De Bruyne takes, it's worked to Sane on the edge of the box, and he curls a left footed shot wide of goal.

Fernandinho hits the side-netting after being slipped in by De Bruyne.

City are in total control, and their fans are finally being heard in the stadium.

GOAL! Stoke City 0-2 Manchester City. Silva scores - Sterling flicks the ball to Silva, 30ish yards from goal. He flicks it into the box for Jesus, who turns it back to Silva for a simple finish to double the lead.

Bauer holds up Sane as it looks like he is set to break into the box. City keep hold of it until Badou tackles De Bruyne on the right. Corner for City.
