Manchester City take on Newcastle in the FA Cup with a place in the semi-final draw on the line this evening. Pep Guardiola’s side are the holders and are once again on the treble hunt; after winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup last season, they are still in the running for all three trophies this campaign.
It was Newcastle who landed a blow to City earlier this season when Eddie Howe’s team knocked the champions out of the Carabao Cup back in September, but the Magpies landed the worst possible draw when they were handed a trip to the Etihad in the quarter-finals. Newcastle have lost nine matches in a row away to City since their last Etihad win in October 2014 and enter the game off the back of a defeat to Chelsea on Monday night.
The FA Cup is now Newcastle’s only chance of winning a trophy this campaign and Howe’s side will be looking to keep their season alive against the holders.

HALF-TIME! The whistle blows on what has been a strange first half. City have breezed through at times – and have been the better of the two sides – though both their goals were pretty lucky. ‘Flukey’, according to Alan Shearer.
Newcastle probably guilty of not being as sharp as they could have been, and not closing down at crucial times, but they’ve threatened a couple of times.

46 mins: Two minutes of added time here as Newcastle look to halve the deficit. It breaks for Willock and he tries to find Isak, but the Sweden forward can’t take it in his stride, and City have it again.

44 mins: CLOSE! Doku is sent through in-behind Lascelles, but Dubravka saves well and it’s a corner.
Foden’s ball in is met by Haaland, and the balls deflects and loops to Dias. Luckily for Newcastle, his header falls to Dubravka.

42 mins: A counter from City as Haaland sets away Doku, who cuts inside and shoots. It’s deflected behind for a corner.
The first corner is also sent behind, as is the second, while the third is cleared away into the City half.

40 mins: Lovely play from Foden. Gvardiol plays it to Foden, whose flick with the inside of his foot takes him past Guimaraes. He drives into the box, but his shot is wide under pressure from the Brazilian.

39 mins: Newcastle’s fans are still in fine voice given the scoreline. Their team haven’t really taken th game to City enough. No notable chances since that Isak shot.

37 mins: Doku skips past Guimaraes but his shot is well over.

35 mins: CLOSE! A reminder of the Newcastle threat, and Isak probably should score.
Murphy plays a looped cross from the right and Dan Burn gets up to head it down. Isak has a bit of space as it comes to him, and he hits it on the half-volley, but Ortega saves it well.

34 mins: Not long until half-time, and Newcastle are still just about in it. Two moments of sloppy – and unlucky - defending have shaped the game so far. You could say Newcastle are guilty of not closing down quickly enough for both goals.
