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

That's it, full time. Cardiff appear doomed, but most people will be interested in the fact that City are now back in charge at the top. The question is if their squad can handle not the pressure, but the number of games to come.

Two minutes of added time indicated, and Sane wins a corner on the left wing.

The game is drawing to a close, that late chance for Cardiff was probably their only hope of forcing a late panic as City are happy to sit on the ball in Cardiff's half.

Ederson rushes out to beat the ball away from Niasse's toes after the striker broke through down the middle, one-on-one. A terrible waste.

Hoilett hacks Walker as he skips down the right wing, a couple of meters outside the box. How is he not booked?

And here's Reid.

Here comes Bacuna.

De Bruyne rolls in a pass from the right for Jesus, who tries a ludicrous backheel from a slightly offside position, and it goes wide of the near post.

The internet is EFFED. OFF.

Mahrez goes to ground in the box and the referee has absolutely no interest. Manga flicked his studs at his shin but it was a ludicrous carry-on of a dive.

The Cardiff City fans celebrate a shot at goal from Mendez-Laing.

Foden aims for the top corner but Etheridge, yet again, tips it away from the goal

Sane trundles in a low corner from the left that bounces behind Foden who hooks a shot at goal, reaching behind his torso, and it clips the post.

Mahrez lifts a fierce drive at goal that Etheridge tips over, making sure of that at the second attempt. The corner is worked to Sane, who takes a touch into the box and fires in a low shot at the near post that the 'keeper beats away.

Foden floats in a tempting cross for Laporte, and he heads down firmly at goal, that Etheridge flaps away showing exceptional strength.

Corner for City on the left wing after Morrison stabs at a De Bruyne cross, putting it behind at the near post. De Bruyne's corner is headed out by Morrison, but City come back, and Mahrez bends a shot from distance that Ehteridge palms away.

City edge forward, ever closer to Cardiff's box until a loose Fernandinho control, but they still have the ball.

De Bruyne goes close. 30 yards from goal, the pitch opens up in front of him, and after carrying it forward for a moment, he drills an effort just a yard wide of the near post.

Here's Mendez-Laing for Cardiff.

Laporte heads over, but perhaps he was distracted by Guardiola's incredible thoughts:
