53'
STAT ALERT: Yaya Toure has netted four in his last four league games against the Magpies.
52'
It's damage limitation time for Newcastle and you do fear for them against this free-flowing City attack.
51'
GOAL! Man City 3-0 Newcastle. Yaya Toure curls a sublime free-kick into the top corner to all-but wrap up the three points. A great way for Yaya to mark his 100th PL appearance.
50'
Free-kick to City on the edge of the box...
49'
WHAT A SAVE! Krul somehow keeps out Dzeko from six yards after the striker looked all set to head home the third from Aguero's dinked cross.
48'
Cisse wins a good flick on but the striker is very short of support up there.
47'
Newcastle have reorganised after Taylor's red card and PL debutant, Dummett has slotted in at left back.
46'
KICK OFF! City restart the game.
45+5'
HALF-TIME: 2-0 to City who hold all the aces against 10-man Newcastle.
45+4'
NEWCASTLE SUB: Paul Dummett on for Gouffran.
45+3'
RED CARD! Newcastle down to 10 men. Taylor may have got away with the hand ball but doesn't escape the wrath of the ref for lashing out at Aguero with the ball in the air.
45+2'
Three minutes added... Aguero breaks clear... the Argetine cuts inside and hammers in a shot that appears to hit the hand of Taylor. The ref says no penalty. Close call.
45+1'
Aguero breaks the offside trap down the left and chips in a pinpoint cross for Dzeko who guides his header wide from eight yards out. That should have been curtains for the Magpies.
45'
Tiote hammers in a low shot that Joe Hart does well to gather on the stretch.
45'
Newcastle on the attack. Can they end the half with a goal?
44'
NEWCASTLE SUB: Anita on for Gutierrez.
43'
Jonas is back on his feet but Anita is readying himself for United.
42'
Jonas Gutierrez attempts one of his trademark marauding runs but pulls up clutching his hamstring. Is this another blow for Newcastle today?
41'
The Spanish ace was taken out by Yanga-Mbiwa but the ref gave nothing. Navas is back on his feet now.
40'
Navas down injured for City.
39'
Debuchy booked for dissent.
