Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City's trip to Aston Villa from Villa Park. Leaders Liverpool may be practically out of sight, but there is still plenty to play for this season for City, while Villa still languish in the bottom three, with three points a priceless commodity for Dean Smith's men. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

Highlights

90+1'

FT: Aston Villa 1-6 Man City. All about Aguero here as his 12th hat-trick makes him the top goalscoring foreign player. Merciless is the way to describe that. Villa need to strengthen in the January window, or they could be heading back down. City move back to second, 14 points behind Liverpool. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.

90+1'

GOOOOAAALLLL!! Aston Villa 1-6 Man City. El Ghazi rifles home the penalty to give Villa a consolation.

90'

One minute of added time here as VAR check this.

90'

PENALTY TO VILLA! Comeback on as Trezeguet is felled in the penalty area.

88'

Villa on the attack again as Trezeguet crossed for Grealish, Ederson came out, didn't get there, but Grealish turned and fired well over.

86'

Trezeguet bulldozes his way onto the City box, but Gundogan steams across to make the block.

What a player.

84'

This has been painful to watch at times. Villa look visibly shaken by this.

82'

Dreadful from Kortney Hause as he is dispossessed by Mahrez, who feeds Aguero, with the Argentine given all the time in the world to complete his treble.

81'

GOOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Aston Villa 0-6 Man City. Hat-trick for Aguero as he makes it six.

80'

Frustrations boiling over here as Grealish is booked for dissent.

80'

Change for Villa with Drinkwater's nightmare debut finally over, with Henri Lansbury on in his place.

79'

MISS! Somehow the ball finds its way to Jesus at the back post, he looks certain to make it six, but fires over!

78'

SAVE! Lovely play from City. Foden slides in Jesus, who is denied by a fine Nyland save at his near post.

77'

Mendy looks to get in down the left, but overruns it at the last.

75'

One player still giving his all is Grealish, but with no help from his team-mates, there is little he can do.

73'

Change for Villa now as Trezeguet comes on for Hourihane.

72'

Change for City as Rodri is replaced by Ilkay Gundogan.

70'

SAVE! Cancelo drills one for goal from distance, it takes a slight deflection, but Nyland adjusts well to make the block.

68'

City's sheer relentlessness is incredible. 5-0 up, you would think they would taker their foot off the gas, but they are hungry for more.
