John Stones opened the scoring after five minutes with a fine volley, and it was all downhill from there for Leicester who remain 19th in the table and two points off safety.
Erling Haaland scored his 46th and 47th goals of the season to make it 3-0 at half time, the first from the penalty spot before neatly finishing an effort from a Kevin De Bruyne pass.
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late consolation against his former side, but it was too little, too late.
