  • 97'
    Rodri fires a shot over the bar.
  • 96'

    City sub: Guendogan off for Rodri.
  • 64'
    The corner comes in and hits Sterling on the head and Martínez gathers. The Englishman knew nothing about it.

    And Moss has said NO PENALTY.
  • 63'
    VAR checking for a possible foul from Mustafi on Sterling in the box.
  • 63'
    City do look like the team most likely to get the next goal.
  • 61'
    De Bruyne has a free-kick from about 25 yards out that goes over the wall and just wide into the side netting. So close.
  • 59'
    Right, so City have been the better team this half trying to get a goal. They've done all the attacking.
  • 55'
    A very good save from Martínez. Mahrez gets into the box and shoots down low, but the Arsenal keeper gets down and gets a hand to it and gathers. Good save.
  • 49'
    Another chance missed by Sterling. The ball is played to him at the centre of the box but he puts the ball wide.
  • 48'
    Sterling puts a shot from inside the box well wide and high. It was like he was playing rugby.
  • 47'
    Dj_861877832 has predicted that City will win 2-1. From what they've offered so far in the final third it doesn't look like that will happen. Let's see.
  • 46'
    And we're back.
  • 45'
    HT: Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City. City have had the most possession but Arsenal have made the most of their chances. Al the play for in the second half.

    Looks like we will be going at the break with the Gunners in front.
  • 40'
    A good chance for Arsenal. The corner comes in and Mustafi's header is tipped over the bar.
  • 33'
    Literally no chances since Arsenal went in front. They are doing well and will hope to go in at the break in front.
  • 27'
    Arsenal are looking for their 14th FA Cup title.
  • 21'
    Now I wonder how City will respond to this goal.

    And the teams are out.
  • PRVW
    Teams are in the tunnel.
  • PRVW
    So strange seeing this stadium empty. Let's hope than fans are back soon.
  • PRVW
    The winners will get a place in the final on 1st August. They will face Manchester United or Chelsea.
  • PRVW
    And in 1932. The Gunners were victorious on that occasion. City's only win over Arsenal in the FA Cup was in 1904.
  • PRVW
    They also played each other in the 1970-71 FA Cup with Arsenal again winning.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal haven't beaten City since the last time they played each other in the FA Cup which was in 2017. That was in the semi-final and the Gunners won the trophy perhaps. A good omen certainly.
  • PRVW
    And City got here by beating Port Vale, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday, and Newcastle.
  • PRVW
    Let's remind ourselves how Arsenal got here. They beat Leeds United, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, and Sheffield United.
  • PRVW
    Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, D Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal XI: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Tierney, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang
