End of match

  • 94'
    FT: Sheff W 0-1 Man C! All over at Hillsborough! Man C dominated proceedings and would have won by more goals had it not been for a sensational Wildsmith in the Wednesday goal. However, Aguero's goal was slightly offside and that will no doubt be mentioned post match. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!
  • 93'
    Almost for Sheff W!!! An opening is found, but Da Cruz can't run onto the pass and it goes out for a goal kick.
  • 93'
    Shots: 1-20, on target: 0-9.
  • 93'
    City clear the free-kick, 30 seconds left.
  • 93'
    Sheff W push Bravo off the ball as he won't give them the ball back.
  • 92'
    What a save again by Wildsmith to deny Jesus when it looked a nailed on goal!
  • 91'
    Three extra minutes.
  • 90'
    City attack and B Silva's ball in is deflected to the GK. Wildsmith tries to throw it out quickly to Fox who isn't expecting it and City win the throw.

    Man City sub: Sterling on for Aguero.
  • 85'
    Corner for City!!! Mahrez dashes down the far side and his overhit cross for Jesus is headed behind.
  • 84'
    Jesus sends a ball in for Aguero and Lees heads away.
  • 82'
    Sheff W charge down City in their own penalty area and the Owls get a corner. City on the back foot now!
  • 81'
    Chance for Sheff W!!! Bannan's ball passes Stones, Lees doesn't expect the ball to come to him and he cannot connect.
  • 80'
    Chance for Fletcher!!! The ball in by Hunt almost finds Fletcher at the back stick! He is millimetres away from reaching it.
  • 79'
    The BBC virtual line suggests that Aguero is either in line or fractions offside, but I think Aguero is just offside.
  • 78'
    Aguero is called offside this time.
  • 77'
    Mendy goes down this near side and his ball in is cleared away by Iorfa.
  • 75'
    Double save by Wildsmith to stop Mahrez scoring twice in 20 seconds! He's keeping them in this.
  • 73'
    Double chance from the corner! Stones sees his effort saved and then Rodrigo is also denied by Wildsmith.
  • 72'
    How did Mahrez miss?? He is given the ball and then his effort is deflected wide.
  • 71'
    Man City win a corner.
  • 70'
    What a chance!!! D Silva passes for Mahrez on this near side, whose pass across the goal doesn't find a City player.
  • 67'
    Man C are still passing the ball around looking for a second when the opportunity comes around.

  • 63 '
    Sheff W sub: Lee is replaced by Hunt.
  • 63'
    Here is the offside goal.
  • 62 '
    Lee is getting treatment on his leg here.
  • 61'
    Mahrez!!!! Great combination play from the visitors and it ends with the Algerian shooting wide instead of passing for Jesus in the middle.
  • 59'
    Man C are in control here now.
  • 56'
    No VAR here as it's a Championship ground, but there is at the PL grounds. And if Sheff W win here and are home in the QF, there will be VAR. You won't have heard the last of this if City win here.

  • 56 '
    Sheff W sub: Forestieri is replaced by Fletcher.
  • 54'
    No VAR here and it has cost the Owls. Aguero's right foot was offside. VAR was brought forward from the semis to the quarters for this season after Man C won with an offside Aguero goal at Swansea in the QF last season. Unbelievable.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 53' (Manchester City)
  • 53 '
    Aguero scores for City!!! Their pressure has paid off. Mendy passes to Aguero, who is offside, and his shot is tipped by Wildsmith into the air, but it spins into the net. Very unlucky.
  • 51'
    And again!!! Wildsmith makes a fine stop to his left to deny B Silva. City are really pressing now.
  • 50'
    Mendy strikes the bar this time!!! Aguero finds D Silva who finds Mendy and his powerful shot is brilliantly touched onto the bar by Wildsmith!
  • 49'
    Aguero is flagged offside.
  • 48'
    Aguero!!!!! Iorfa takes a bad touch, a City man passes to Aguero and his strike is comfortably saved.
  • 47'
    Man C attack down the far side and the cross is easily caught by Wildsmith.
  • 46'
    Back underway here!
  • 45 '
    Sheff W HT sub: Borner is replaced by Lees.
  • 45'
    HT: Sheff Wed 0-0 Man C! Half-time at Hillsborough! The away side are dominating proceedings and could have scored through Jesus twice. The clearest chance fell to Otamendi who was denied by the crossbar and then Stones headed over right on half-time. Wednesday have done little in attack, but are holding on well after a shaky start. Back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 45'
    Stones!!!!!! Mahrez's free-kick finds Stones at the back post and his header into the ground goes over the goal.
  • 45'
    Good quick passing by Man C comes to nothing though.
  • 43'
    City are awarded a free-kick in the centre-circle much to the disgust of Lee and the home crowd. "Cheat, cheat, cheat," the Hillsborough faithful chant.
  • 40'
    Man City win a free-kick after Jesus is caught by Iorfa. Not sure about that.
  • 38 '
    Stones is down injured after taking a blow to the chest. He collides with a Wednesday after kicking the ball.
  • 37'
    Otamendi again heads over from the free-kick.
Card

Yellow card

a Sheffield Wednesday
  • 36 '
    Palmer is booked after breaking down Mahrez's move with his arm. The yellow is harsh as Palmer slipped so he couldn't avoid it.
  • 35'
    What a move! Iorfa's precise pass finds Da Cruz in space, but he miscontrols and Stones then clears.
  • 32'
    Off the bar!!!! Mahrez's free-kick into the box is headed by Otamendi who strikes the crossbar! The Owls then manage to get it away. Garry Monk's men are living dangerously.
  • 32'
    B Silva is fouled by Forestieri. The Argentine isn't happy, but it's clear.
  • 30'
    Cancelo's cross is deflected and Wildsmith dives to prevent the corner.
  • 28'
    The Owls are looking shaky at the back.
  • 27'
    How did Jesus not get there? Aguero is fouled, the ref plays advantage, Aguero sends a pass for Jesus, but the Brazilian hooks it wide when he was all on his own.
  • 25'
    City get another corner, Wednesday deal with it and then counter only for Mendy to put paid to it.
  • 24'
    The visitors get a corner after a lack of communication between the GK and Borner.
  • 23'
    Mahrez fires over!!! City's possession ends with Mahrez blazing over the goal after a poor clearance by Palmer.

  • 15'
    The home team win a corner.
  • 12'
    The C'ship side finally get out of their box and the cross into the area is caught comfortably by Bravo.
  • 10'
    Sheff W are being penned back in their own box and they are struggling to get out of it. Barring the Murphy effort. it's been all City so far.
  • 10'
    81% possession for Guardiola's men so far.
  • 9'
    Aguero!!!! City pass the ball around near the Wednesday area and then Mendy's pass for Aguero is so nearly turned in from six yards! He misses his kick.
  • 6'
    Murphy fires wide of the goal with his left foot! He claims a corner, but the ref says no.
  • 5'
    Mendy brings down Forestieri just outside the box! This is in a dangerous area.
  • 5'
    D Silva combines with Cancelo whose cross is deflected behind for a corner!
  • 4'
    Good start by Man C here so far.

    The last time these two sides met was in January 2015 in the FA Cup 3rd round and City won 2-1. Nuhiu put Wednesday ahead, but two goals from James Milner gave the home side the win.

    The home side make four changes from the loss to Derby on Saturday. Wildsmith replaces Dawson in goal. Iorfa comes in for Lees in defence while Harris and Fletcher also drop to the bench. Pelupessy and Da Cruz come in.
