Having suffered with a sore hamstring against Arsenal, it will be hoped that it is not too serious.<\/p>\n<p>And with Stoke dealt with, the league leaders can now concentrate on trips to West Brom and Sunderland before hosting Liverpool on 3 January.<\/p>\n<div readability=\"8\">\n<h2>Live text and stats<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, 21 December 2011<\/p>\n<p>Premier League<\/p>\n<table summary=\"This table is for live text and stats\" caption=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\"><span>Home Team<\/span><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\"><span>Score<\/span><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\"><span>Away Team<\/span><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\"><span>Time<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody readability=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td>Man City<\/td>\n<td>3-0<\/td>\n<td>Stoke<\/td>\n<td>FT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\"><span>(HT 2-0)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"2\">\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Aguero 29<\/li>\n<li>Johnson 36<\/li>\n<li>Aguero 54<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Final Result<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Full Time<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>90:00+3:46<\/strong> The final whistle goes and the game is over.<\/li>\n<li><strong>90:00+3:14<\/strong> Adam Johnson takes a shot.
