    Unlucky from Foden. He hits his shot into the ground and it bounces just wide.

    Villa will be looking for another goal obviously. I wonder if City will look to get another one.
  • 46'

    HT: Aston Villa 1-2 Man City. What a cup final so far. Just when it looked like City were out of sight, Samatta pulled one back. All to play for in the 2nd half.

    Game on!!! Stones slips. El-Ghazi wins it and crosses it in for Samatta, who leaps like a salmon and bullets it past Bravo.

    2-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • 38'
    City are lining up in numbers to score. It could easily be a cricket score.
  • 36'
    Walker has a wayward effort that goes well wide.
  • 33'
    Now, a bit of controversy. The ball appeared to hit a City player and a corner was given. Villa are rightfully annoyed as the goal could have killed any chance they had of getting back into the match.
  • 31'
    2 for City and a nightmare for Villa. Gundogan crosses the corner in and Rodri heads it past Nyland.
Goal

    I wonder how Villa will react to going behind.
  • 24'
    First shot on target for Villa. El-Ghazi has a shot from a tight angle but it's straight at Bravo.
  • 21'
    And City are in front. Rodri crosses in, Foden heads back across the face of goal and Aguero puts it in. It takes a deflection of the Aston Villa defender but he won't mind.
Goal

    A reminder that the winners of this trophy will make it into next season's Europa League. If City win, the spot will be given to 7th in the table.
  • 13'
    Still no shots on target yet. Even game. Villa started brightest now City are having more of the ball.
  • 10'
    First chance for City. Gundogan crosses in and Aguero heads over. Still no shots on target.
  • 7'
    A strange situation Villa find themselves in. They could go down yet win the cup and be in Europe.
  • 3'
    First chance of the match goes to Villa. The cross comes in from El Mohamady, Eñ-Ghazi gets up and heads it over the bar. Bright start from Villa.

    Also Prince William in attendance today. John Terry on the Villa bench is used to singing it, as he did so when he was an England player.

    God save the Queen being played.

    Villa have sold out their allocation. Few empty seats in the City end. Still though, this one should be a cracker.
  • PRVW
    Last match between the sides was 6-1 to City in January 2020. Villa haven't beaten City since 2013.
  • PRVW
    Last time Villa made the final was in 2010 when they lost 2-1 to Manchester United. City could win this trophy for the 3rd year in a row. They have won it 6 times, Villa have won it 5 times.
