Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City's mouthwatering clash against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.

Many thanks for joining us - City are up to fourth as things stand, but Manchester United can change that in the afternoon's other match. Join us for live coverage of that game next:

Spurs are put out of their misery at last by Howard Webb, while for Manchester City the celebrations begin. But the big question still remains for City - can they learn how to do this away from home?

Spurs have doubled their season's total of conceded goals in one match...

IT'S 6-0! ANOTHER ONE FOR NAVAS! Navas beats the offside trap and gets into the clear as Vertonghen misses a long ball, and the City star makes no mistake thundering the ball past Lloris into the bottom left corner.

Pantilimon makes a mess of taking the corner, but his defence clear the danger. Three added minutes to play.

Lennon makes a darting run into the box and wins a corner off Pantilimon...

Adebayor tries to make a run through the middle, but ends up getting bundled off the ball.

Toure now looking for a way through - but with less purpose this time, almost as if he's running down the clock.

Lamela - very underwhelming today - picks up the ball to try and start a move, but ends up forced into a back-pass to Lloris.

City still in search of a fifth - Spurs heads down now, as even a consolation strike seems beyond them.

AVB impassive as ever - you wouldn't know if his men were 5-0 up or 5-0 down...

City miss a gilt-edged chance! More superb work by Negredo on the right, as he crosses in for an unmarked Fernandinho - but the City star completely mis-times what should be a tap-in from five yards.

Another chance for City on the break as Negredo gets onto the ball in the box, but he's facing the wrong way and has to pass back.

Great chance for Adebayor - played into the six-yard box by Dembele, but he's denied by Pantilimon's outstretched left foot! Excellent save...

The ball comes out to Sandro who has a go from long range - but it's weak, well left and symptomatic of Spurs' afternoon.

Spurs earn a corner as Zabaleta puts the ball out.

James Milner comes on for City, replacing Nasri - who has been outstanding today, and earns a well-deserved pat on the head from Pellegrini.

Sigurdsson has a crack in desperation from 30 yards out - a nice, dipping effort, on target, but Pantilimon is right behind it and takes it perfectly.

Almost another yet again! Terrific ball in from Navas on the right finds Toure, who hits it first time at thumping pace - but is left gurning about what might have been as he ball lifts over the bar.

Dembele and Sandro linking up well in the middle now, but unable to find a way through. City still keeping superb discipline and concentration at the back - they don't want to lose this clean sheet.
