  • 45'
    HT: Newport County 0-0 Manchester City. While the hosts will be happy to have kept City to a draw at half-time, they had a fabulous chance to go ahead themselves were it not for a brilliant Ederson save. Guardiola's men kept most of the possession and had many chances, but could not captalise. Who will draw first blood in the second-half?
