Man City get one last chance. The imperious De Bruyne swings in an excellent cross from the left and Fernandinho heads over. That's it - the final whistle blows!
90' +2
C. Zimmermann gets yellow.
J. Thomas enters the game and replaces T. Cantwell.
A. Famewo enters the game and replaces K. McLean.
Zimmermann is booked for committing a cynical foul on De Bruyne as the Belgian beats him for pace down the left flank.
McLean also leaves the pitch. 21-year-old centre-back Famewo is on for him.
Norwich make two late changes. Cantwell is replaced by the 19-year-old defender Thomas.
90'
K. De Bruyne has scored a goal for Manchester City!
GOAL! 5-0 MAN CITY! Man City are racking up the goals now. De Bruyne grabs his second goal of the game as he finds an inch of space in the box, arrowing an effort into the top right corner.
87'
J. Martin enters the game and replaces O. Hernández.
Norwich make a substitution of their own. Hernandez makes way for the 18-year-old winger Martin, formerly of Arsenal's academy.
85'
Bernardo Silva enters the game and replaces David Silva.
So ends David Silva's remarkable Premier League career. The Spaniard leaves the pitch to a standing ovation from Man City's players and coaching staff. Bernardo Silva comes on for him.
83'
R. Mahrez has scored a goal for Manchester City!
GOAL! 4-0 MAN CITY! McLean gets muddled on the edge of his own box and passes the ball straight to Mahrez. Mahrez doesn't need inviting to punish the mistake, firing a shot low into the bottom left corner.
79'
R. Sterling has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by K. De Bruyne.
GOAL! 3-0 MAN CITY! Man City get their 100th league goal of the season. Sterling slots home as he darts behind Norwich's defence and latches onto a perfect pass from De Bruyne.
De Bruyne released that pass at the perfect time. The Belgian becomes only the second player to reach 20 assists in a Premier League season since Thierry Henry in 2002-03. He still has time to break the record.
77'
M. Vrančić enters the game and replaces M. Stiepermann.
A. Idah enters the game and replaces T. Pukki.
Next off is Stiepermann who has worked hard. Vrancic comes on for him.
Pukki's game is over. The young Irish striker Idah replaces him. This could have been a different game had Pukki scored from that chance early on. It's the sort of chance he would have scored from a year ago.
76'
De Bruyne cuts inside onto his right foot from an inside-left position and curls an effort over the crossbar. It looks like Norwich are preparing a few changes.
75'
Man City nearly make it 3-0! Walker powers down the right with a frightening burst of pace. His cross finds Sterling whose shot is blocked. Jesus takes aim on the follow-up and forces a decent save from Krul. The Brazilian gets a second bite of the cherry seconds later but this one tests Krul less.
Minute
Description
73'
The tempo of the game has slowed significantly. Man City's latest attack breaks down and Cantwell darts down the right. The midfielder's crowded out though but Rupp succeeds in winning a throw-in for the visitors.
71'
Mahrez attempts to jink his past into the box from the right but can't get past Hernandez. Hernandez has been Norwich's best player today.
69'
Play resumes. Man City have taken their foot off the gas slightly in the past few minutes.
67'
Man City get a few more chances. David Silva forces a corner from De Bruyne's layoff as Lewis dives in to block. De Bruyne sends the corner towards the far post where Mahrez skies it. There'll be another drinks break now.
61'
Sterling takes on Aarons but shows the young right-back a little too much of the ball, prompting Aarons to stick out a leg to win it. Norwich do have some promising players. They just haven't been consistent enough.
59'
Man City go straight up the other end and create a chance of their own. Sterling gets a snapshot from outside the box and drags it wide.
57'
David Silva spots a run from Walker down the right but overcooks the pass, sending the ball straight out of play. He can't be magic all of the time.
56'
Man City tiptoe their way to the edge of the penalty area and the cross comes in from Walker. Godfrey punts it out for a throw-in.
55'
Fernandinho heads wide from De Bruyne's corner. Norwich's defenders are working extremely hard just to keep Man City's lead down.
52'
David Silva drifts behind Norwich's defence to fire in a low cross from the left. It's got too much pace on it for Jesus to get on the end of it.
51'
João Cancelo gets yellow.
Cantwell surfs forward on the counter-attack and is brought down by Cancelo. Cancelo earns himself a yellow card for the challenge.
De Bruyne attempts a slick one-two with David Silva on the left of the penalty area. Silva's return pass is just a touch heavy and Aarons intercepts.
49'
Man City resume the dominance they had in the first half. Mahrez has two Norwich players come out to meet him and wins a corner for the hosts.
47'
Norwich get the game going again.
Gundogan nearly leaves his stamp on the game straight away. De Bruyne, held up inside the box, spots Gundogan arriving and rolls the ball right to him. The German's howitzer isn't far off.
46'
Fernandinho enters the game and replaces Eric García.
İ. Gündoğan enters the game and replaces Rodri.
R. Mahrez enters the game and replaces P. Foden.
Man City make three changes at half-time, because they can. Mahrez takes the muted Foden's place on the right flank.
Finally, Gundogan replaces Rodrigo at the base of midfield. Three positive changes here.
Fernandinho comes on for García, presumably at centre-back.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 NORWICH CITY
Man City nearly end the half with a flourish. Cancelo lofts in a cross from the left and Foden nods a header wide to the right. That'll be that for now.
45' +2
Walker can claim the assist but that goal was all about the quality of De Bruyne. He's surely got to win some individual award this season.
45' +1
K. De Bruyne has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by K. Walker.
GOAL! 2-0 MAN CITY! De Bruyne shirks a challenge by Stiepermann to get onto his right foot. The Belgian takes a touch and curls an unstoppable shot past Krul from 20 yards out. Brilliant as ever.
45'
There'll be three added minutes in this first half as David Silva's effort from the centre of the box is blocked. Norwich will be content to get to half-time just the one goal down.
43'
Foden skips away from Hernandez and Lewis to burst into the box. His cross is stopped by Godfrey and Norwich clear their lines. There's nowhere for them to go though. Man City will be coming straight back.
41'
David Silva is not far off getting his fated goal. The Spanish magician jinks past a few Norwich players into the box before dragging a shot just wide of the right-hand post.
37'
David Silva wins a free-kick in Norwich's half as he's closed down too tightly. It's hard to believe this is the last league game we'll see him as a Man City player.
33'
Man City get two more corners after Sterling lays off for David Silva and Godfrey throws himself in front of it. Norwich will be lucky not to be a few goals down by half-time.
29'
Man City pepper Norwich's goal, looking to double their lead. De Bruyne spanks a shot towards goal from distance and it deflects off Godfrey for a corner. De Bruyne finds Foden from the corner and his shot is blocked by Stiepermann. Norwich are well up against it.
27'
It's all one-way traffic at the moment. Norwich are holding their own for now but are under continuous pressure.
25'
Play pauses briefly for the now customary drinks break before it quickly resumes. McLean looks forward for Pukki but Norwich's Finnish striker is offside.
17'
Jesus receives the ball to the left of the box from Foden and lets rip but can't keep his effort down. Norwich knew they were in for a tough time before this game.
15'
Man City are on top but Norwich do look game. Norwich survive another Man City corner conceded by Aarons.
11'
Gabriel Jesus has scored a goal for Manchester City!
GOAL! 1-0 MAN CITY! Man City compound Norwich's disappointment. Jesus bundles the ball home from close range after Sterling's cross causes confusion in the Norwich box.

3'
Man City get an early corner as Zimmermann is forced to put the ball out of play. Norwich deal with iDe Bruyne's delivery reasonably comfortably.
1'
Man City and Norwich take the knee before Man City get this game underway!
Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this match between Manchester City and Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium on the final day of the 2019-20 Premier League season.
Norwich City don't have much to play for either as their relegation back to the Championship is already confirmed. Daniel Farke's team are huge underdogs going into this match. Then again, they were when they famously beat Man City 3-2 in the reverse fixture last September too.
MANCHESTER CITY (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Eric Garcia, Aymeric Laporte, Joao Cancelo; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodrigo, David Silva (c); Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling.
SUBS: Nicolas Otamendi, Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gündogan, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Scott Carson, Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Fernandinho.
Man City are guaranteed to end this Premier League season in second place, behind only champions Liverpool. For them, this game is all about the club's captain David Silva, who will make his final domestic appearance for the club after 10 glorious years.
NORWICH CITY (4-1-4-1): Tim Krul; Max Aarons, Christoph Zimmermann (c), Ben Godfrey, Jamal Lewis; Kenny McLean; Todd Cantwell, Lukas Rupp, Marco Stiepermann, Onel Hernandez; Teemu Pukki.
SUBS: Mario Vrancic, Akin Famewo, Jordan Thomas, Josh Martin, Archie Mair, Adam Idah, Michael McGovern, Daniel Adshead.
The two sides are out on the pitch at an empty Etihad Stadium. Man City will play in their usual sky blue shirts and white shorts. Norwich are in their idiosyncratic yellow shirts and green shorts.
It's back to the Championship for poor old Norwich, then, while Man City can still dream of European glory in the Champions League as they prepare to face newly crowned Spanish champions Real Madrid in their round-of-16 second leg. On this evidence, Guardiola's team are going to take some stopping. That's all for now. Goodbye!
