Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Manchester City versus Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium. Manuel Pellegrini's side can go two points clear at the top with a victory. A draw would move them level with Liverpool but their superior goal difference would mean they would only really need to better or match the Reds' result on the last day to be crowned champions. A shock defeat would hand the initiative back to Brendan Rodgers' men.

41'

Villa's win against Hull at the weekend was their first in seven games. They have picked up just two points from their last seven away games, and have lost the last four.

40'

Baker is back on and here come City again looking to make the breakthrough before half time.

39'

Baker takes a knock to the head off Guzan and needs some treatment.

38'

Chance for Silva... but he fluffs his lines. A cut back from Zabaleta put the Spain man in but his first touch wasn't great and his scuffed shot is easily booted away from the danger zone.

37'

Lots of frustrated faces in the home stands but even a point would move them back to the top of the table tonight with just one game left to play.

36'

Villa have grown in confidence and Weimann is their main man in attack. Some neat feet on the right side of the box offers him the chance to drill a low ball across goal but there is no-one there to take advantage.

35'

The set piece comes to nothing but a nervy pass from Milner gifts Villa the ball. This isn't how the home support were hoping it would go in the opening half an hour or so.

34'

Some heavy City pressure ends with Weimann racing away on the break. The striker is one on one with the last man but opts to shoot and sees it deflect for a corner.

33'

Calm play by Matthew Lowton as he chests a right-wing cross back to Guzan.

32'

UPDATE: Sunderland 2-0 WBA.

31'

A wonderful Villa move carves City open down the left. Weimann crosses to the far post for Bowery who can't quite hook a volley at goal.

30'

Zabaleta gets down the right but his cross is comfortably plucked out of the air by Guzan. A few murmurs of frustration creeping around the Etihad.

29'

Weimann manufactures some space on the right and finally gives Hart something to do with a low cross-shot that is easy for the England keeper.

28'

Villa get a head on it to clear their lines and mount a counter that sees them earn a throw-in just inside the City half.

27'

Great tackle by Clark denies the marauding run of Milner on the right of the area. Another corner.

26'

A promising Villa attack comes to absolutely nothing when Delph gifts a pass to Toure. That was a real shame for the visitors who look rather toothless up top.

24'

This time it's Milner jinking in from the left but his attempted shot is blocked. It lifts the crowd though and inspires a chorus of 'C'mon City!'

23'

Nasri latches onto Milner's raking ball, cuts in from the left and smashes a shot over the top. City are knocking on the door.

22'

Villa try to break but they can't quite get beyond the halfway line. City pour forward with their own counter but Nasri's dinked ball over the top catches everyone out. Poor decision.

21'

Bowery is back on the field after treatment for his bloody nose as Kolarov wins a corner with an early cross that deflects behind the Villa goal.
