The Premier League champions-elect Manchester City face the champions of two years ago, Leicester City, at the Etihad Stadium looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to 16 points over their nearest rivals, in every sense, Manchester United.

This game also has the added subplot of Riyad Mahrez, who was determined to leave Leicester in January to join Guardiola's expensively assembled squad – he returns to the bench this evening.

GOAL! Manchester City 5-1 Leicester (Aguero)

90' - Sergio Aguero bags his fourth goal of the game and it's the best of the lot!

The Argentine collects the ball from Phil Foden 25 yards from goal before turning and rifling a shot in off the helpless Kasper Schmeichel's crossbar.

Simply sensational.

Full-time - Manchester City 5-1 Leicester

The referee blows his whistle for the final time today and City have hoovered up another three points here with a five-star display.

They go 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League and Sergio Aguero moves up to joint-second in the top-flight scoring charts, level with Mo Salah on 21, after his four-goal salvo here today.

Thanks for tuning in!

Sergio Aguero scored his 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Premier League goals of the season against Leicester
