15'
CHANCE! City work the ball to Mendy on the left of the area. He fizzes a low cross into the box and Jesus sidefoots it first time, sending the ball crashing into the outside of the side-netting with Woodman rooted. That was close.
12'
Swansea are being pinned back here, with all 11 players within 40 yards of their own goal. Walker tries to go around the outside on the right for City, but is dispossessed by Grimes.
9'
One long pass down the left gets Swansea away, as Grimes picks out Morris on the run. Morris gets into the penalty area and cuts it back to the edge, but it's intercepted and tidied up by City.
7'
Gundogan half-volleys a cross into the box from the right, but it's straight into the hands of Woodman.
6'
All City (I'll be using that for the Manchester variety tonight, and Swansea for the home side) so far, and they win the first corner of the match.
4'
Jesus is back on, though he's not moving that smoothly at the moment.
2'
Jesus cuts in from the left and let's rip from 20 yards out. It's parried away to the right by Woodman and Jesus has gone down clutching his calf here...

We're underway at the Liberty.

Before kick-off, the knee; there is no room for racism.

We’re almost ready to go here. Your referee for tonight’s high jinks is Peter Bankes.

This is the second time that these two clubs have met in the FA Cup. The first was just under two years ago, when Man City edged their quarter-final 3-2 at the Liberty with a late goal from Sergio Aguero after the hosts had led 2-0.
17:15
Whisper it, but Manchester City might be zoning in on another domestic Treble. They’re pulling away in the Premier League, the most consistent force in an inconsistent division, and have secured a place in the EFL Cup final in April. They’re ploughing forwards in the Champions League too; no club in England currently has the resources and set-up to compete on four fronts like this.
17:10
Swansea are on a great run right now. They currently sit third in the Championship, two off the top with a game in hand, and have won six and drawn two of their last eight in the league. In the last round they made light work of Nottingham Forest via a thumping 5-1 win at the Liberty 12 days ago.
17:05
Phil Foden, another under-17 World Cup alumni, is on the bench for Manchester City tonight. There are seven changes in total for City from their win at Anfield on Sunday, including their entire back five and a run for Ferran Torres and Gabriel Jesus in the front three.
17:00
Joe Latibeaudiere, Swansea's centre back and the the captain of the England team that won the under-17's World Cup in 2017, signed for the club from Manchester City in October and comes in to face his former team tonight. It's one of five changes for Swansea from their 2-0 win over Norwich on Friday, including a full debut for Jordan Morris, a loanee from Seattle Sounders in the MLS.
