MANCHESTER CITY VS FULHAM Good afternoon and welcome to our live-text coverage of Manchester City vs Tranmere in the fourth round of the FA Cup! A mismatch perhaps? But these two could well face up next year as Fulham push for promotion in the Championship. Holders City, meanwhile, have all but given up on the league title and will have their eyes firmly set on some silverware this season. So they’re unlikely to go easy on their opponents. The Champions have also won their last eight against Fulham, and also got the better of them last time the two sides met in the FA Cup. That one ended 2-0, 105 years ago. But fear not Cottagers, 111 years ago Fulham beat City 3-1 in the FA Cup. So anything can happen really and we should never try and predict football.

    End of 2nd Half
    90+2'
    FULL-TIME!
    City are through to the fifth round and that was pretty easy in the end.
    Fulham the architects of their own downfall as they tried to play it out from the back and all too often were caught out.
    Can Manchester United join them? We're covering that one too! Join us.
    90+2'
    Cancelo back on his feet after going down hard. City will be desperate to ge tout of this one now without any injuries.
    Seconds left.
    90'
    Foden blats a free-kick into the wall.
    Into the last minute of the 90.
    88'
    Pep doesn't look thrilled, but at least his side have avoided a perilously exhausting replay in the middle of the winter break.
    Smile Pep!
    85'
    If you can play in less than first gear, City are doing that now.
    80'
    City come again but they are coasting into the fifth round now.
    Easy, easy, easy.
    76'
    A sub as Rodri came on for Gundogan between the goals.

    GOAL!
    Jesus has a brace in two minutes!
    He's lurking and picks up the seconds after Rodak makes the save but can only parry towards the Brazilian.
    73'
    GOAL!
    Jesus grabs the third that kills this game off once and for all.
    Kongolo gets caught at the back and Silva nips in. Cancelo finds Jesus at the back post for a fine header but....VAR check...
    THE GOAL STANDS

    70'
    Disappointing from Foden who over hits a pass to Jesus. He's not had a great game, or not the game we've come to expect from all the hype.
    68'
    Cavaleiro is being replaced by Cairney as Scott Parker makes his first change!
    66'
    Pen shout as Garcia goes down very easily inside the box.
    Ref says nope. VAR says nope. Corner.
    63'
    Free-kick to Fulham...
    They try something from the training ground and it fails spectacularly.
    62'
    Otamendi gets up well for a header but can't quite keep it down.
    59'
    That said, City are looking so comfortable and naturally they'll be conserving energy. This game is over.
    OFF THE BAR!
    Sterling, out of nowhere, lashes against the bar.
    58'
    An easy 15 minutes so far for Fulham and Guardiola is not happy with his team.
    He's doing plenty of shouting and arm waving. They're not playing like Champions against ten men.
    55'
    Silva takes a touch too many and City really should have a third, they're toying with Fulham and looking for the perfect goal. Just hit it!
    54'
    Mahrez makes way for Sterling.
    He may be struggling a little, or Pep may be angry he skied that last chance. Who knows?
    The England man comes on to big applause.
    52'
    Sterling inbound...
    50'
    Cavaleiro gets his side up the pitch and wins a throw-in. Good move.
    Fulham enjoying some possession and if nothing else it must just be nice to take it easy for moment.
    Oh, they've lost it now...and here come City.
