FULL TIME: City back to winning ways. A towering win. Sunderland tried gamely but were soon put in their place and the second half turned into a route. City up to second for now.

James Milner scored his fifth career Premier League goal against Sunderland – his most against another club. In 2002, he became the then youngest ever PL scorer at 16 years and 356 days old when he netted against Sunderland. This record was later broken by James Vaughan. (Infostrada)

AGUERO SHOULD MAKE IT FOUR! Through on goal, but took a touch too many and held it up, meaning that a despairing lunge denied him.

Rodwell replaces Silva in the final City switch, and there are three extra minutes to play.

THREE FOR CITY! MILNER! He takes the free kick and whips it goalwards, and Mignolet gets into a tangle trying to stop it. In the end it goes straight past him from a narrow angle. The misery complete for Sunderland.

Yellow again! Gardner slices through Kolarov right on the edge of the Sunderland penalty area. Terrible challenge.

Team news beginning to filter through for the 15:00 games -

KOLAROV CLOSE! Powerful hit from the edge of the box, looks to have been blocked by a Sunderland hand, but nothing spotted by referee Lee Probert.

Tevez off, Clichy on - City just closing this one out.

Toure wins a corner after his low cross is deflected out of play. That allows Mancini to make another change...

Lescott's header deflects a speculative hit from Gardner out for a corner.

Final Sunderland switch - Campbell replaces Sessegnon, who was some way off his best.

Zabaleta looks dead on his feet - City may have made this look easy, but they have had to work hard for it.

Manchester City have scored in the final 20 minutes in four of their previous six Premier League matches this season (a total of five goals). (Infostrada)

Yellow for Colback, who clipped Milner - perhaps that's also for a few challenges over the course of the match.

Fletcher does now have an effort, drilled low from just outside the area, scooped up confidently by Hart.

If this were a boxing match, it would have been stopped on a technical knockout. Sunderland just haven't fired back at City for a good quarter of an hour.

Aguero plays the ball to Tevez, whose killer instinct has been lacking today. Effort blocked and Mignolet gets the ball away.
