  • 92'
    FT: Swansea 1-3 Man City!! All over at the Liberty Stadium!! It was an easy victory for the Sky Blues. Goals from Walker, Sterling and Jesus put the tie beyond the Welsh side who got a consolation late on through Whittaker. The only bad news for the PL side was losing Rodri to injury. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you now for Sevilla v Barca!

  • 83'
    Still 1-3 here and the Swans have not looked like scoring again.
  • 79'
    Mahrez is denied by Woodman from close range now!

    Dhanda!!! Man City only half clear and the Swansea man's powerful effort from distance goes wide.
  • 53'
    Sterling and Roberts exchange words on the far side and Peter Bankes calms them down.
  • 52'
    No chance for the Swans now. Latibeaudiere is the one who made the error.
  • 51'
    And now Jesus adds a third!! Swansea loose the ball almost immediately from the goal kick, Gundogan picks out B Silva at the back stick, he heads back for Jesus who turns and then fires in! Poor goal to concede.

  • 47'
    Raheem Sterling makes it two!! Swansea lose the ball in their own half, Rodri passes to Sterling who places the ball in the far corner! It's a tall order for the hosts now.
  • 46'
    Man City get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Swansea 0-1 Man City! Half-time at the Liberty Stadium. Kyle Walker's cross which went straight in after 30 minutes is the difference between the sides, but Man City have been dominant. Swansea have had just one or two chances before the interval while City have looked dangerous and could have easily scored more through Jesus and Torres. Man City deservedly lead. Back for more shortly!
  • 45'
    45+2: Little happening here. City comfortable and passing the ball around.
  • 45'
    Two added minutes.
  • 45'

    Sterling gets into the box and then Guehi dispossesses him.
  • 40'
    Guehi heads the corner wide of the far post!
  • 40'
    Lowe!!! Guehi passes to Dhanda and then he picks out Lowe and it's cleared out for a corner.

    Cabango is fouled by Gundogan and the yellow card comes out.
  • 35'
    Torres goes down wanting a free-kick, but Manning was just stronger.
  • 33'
    Shots: 1-7, on target 0-4.
  • 32'
    Fulton!!! Roberts' cross finds Fulton who heads over the bar!! He has a bit of white paint on his head as well!
  • 31'
    It looked initially as though Torres touched it, but I actually think it was the bounce of the ball. Torres' attempt was key there though.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

    Man City take the lead!! Walker's ball in from this near side sees Torres and Jesus both try and tap it in, but Torres attempt to tap in does for Woodman!

    80% possession for the visitors so far.

    Good play by Swansea down City's right through Morris, but his cutback from the by-line is intercepted by Rodri.
  • 6'
    The corner is dealt with, but the City get the ball back and Gundogan's cross ends up heading towards goal! Woodman has to backpeddle to catch it.
  • 5'
    Mendy's ball in from the far side is knocked behind by Manning for a corner.
  • 4'
    Jesus is back on the park for now.

    The players make their way out here!

    The uproar from that game meant VAR became mandatory from the quarter-finals. Now the teams meet in the last 16. Once again, one round before mandatory VAR. Surely it can't happen again?
  • PRVW
    Swansea are looking for revenge after losing 2-3 to Man City in the quarter-finals in 2019. They were 2-1 up, but a non-existent penalty and an Aguero offside goal knocked them out. Despite Swansea hosting VAR trials and being in the top flight for seven years, the game did not have VAR as the Swans were in the second tier. At that time, VAR was only mandatory from the semis.
  • PRVW
    Peter Bankes is the referee for this one. We have no VAR this evening as Swansea are not in the Premier League. It is only used in all ties from the quarter-finals. Before then, just at PL grounds.
  • PRVW
    2 degrees and dry in South Wales this evening.
  • PRVW
    Naughton, Bennett, Biswell, Hourihane and Andre Ayew drop out of the XI.
  • PRVW
    Swansea are 3rd in the Championship and they make five alterations from the 2-0 win v Norwich on Friday night. Joel Latibeaudiere starts versus his old club while Jordan Morris, on loan from Seattle Sounders, gets his first start for the Welsh side. Cabango, Manning and Dhanda are the others to come in.
  • PRVW
    Ederson is replaced by Steffen in goal. Laporte, E Garcia, Mendy and Walker are in for Zinchenko, Dias, Stones and Cancelo while Ferran Torres and Jesus come in for Foden and Mahrez.
  • PRVW
    Pep makes seven changes to the team which won 1-4 at Liverpool, but there are some quality players still on show. Gundogan, Rodri, B Silva and Sterling are the only ones to remain from Sunday's match.
  • PRVW
    Man City XI: Steffen (GK); Mendy, Laporte, E Garcia, Walker; Sterling, Gundogan, B Silva, Rodri, F Torres; Jesus.
  • PRVW
    Swansea XI: Woodman (GK); Guehi, Latibeaudiere, Cabango; Manning, Grimes, Dhanda, Fulton, Roberts; Morris and Lowe.
