That's all folks. Manchester City have won 3-1 - they stay in third, but close the gap to Leicester to just one point. Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League at Christmas will be 10 points.
90+3
Soyuncu misjudges a header and for a second Aguero looks to be in behind him, but the defender catches up just in time and wins the ball back in the Leicester area.
90+1

De Bruyne has cramped up, and is replaced by Aguero. There will be a minimum of four additional minutes.
90'
De Bruyne leads another jet-heeled break through the middle of the pitch for Man City. He tries to find Jesus with a slide rule ball but it's cut out. Nonetheless, he's been outstanding today.

Foden replaces Sterling for Man City.
86'
A long ball from Ricardo to Praet almost sees him in behind Fernandinho, but it's overdone by the slightest of margins. Man City are so susceptible to that pass with their current back four.
83'
Man City keep the ball for what must be at least 40 consecutive passes before Leicester cut out a switch pass from Rodri. The visitors look thoroughly beaten here.
80'
Brilliant approach play from Man City again, orchestrated by De Bruyne. He slides Mahrez into space down the right and into the area. Mahrez cuts back onto his left foot but his shot is smothered by a group of Leicester defenders.

Rodri replaces Gundogan for Man City.

A booming long ball behind the Man City defence finds Gray, but he can't control the ball and it runs out for a goal kick.
77'

The final change for Leicester as Praet replaces Tielemans.
75'
De Bruyne is irrepressible. He gets a sharp pass on the edge of the area and kills it instantly, cutting to the left and then firing a cross-cum-shot at goal that Schmeichel palms over.
73'
City are flying now. Gundogan intercepts a ball in midfield and finds MAhrez, whose shot is deflected wide for a corner.

Gundogan is booked for bringing down Vardy.

GOAL! Manchester City 3 (Jesus 69) Leicester City 1
It's 3-1 and it's brilliant from De Bruyne. From the inside right channel he stands up Soyuncu and leaves him standing as he cuts into the penalty area. De Bruyne's ball to the back post is perfect for Jesus, who taps in from two yards out.

Leicester work a good ball out to Perez on the edge of the Man City area to the left. He cuts inside but his shot goes sailing over the bar. It's his last action, as he's replaced by Gray.
66'
Mendy gets in space down the left. He cuts the ball back and Sterling lets it drift to Mahrez, who shoots first-time with his left foot and Schmeichel makes a save with his right hand.
65'
Mahrez goes past Chilwell and into the area again, but Ndidi gets across to get a tackle in and win possession for Leicester.
