MAN CITY CHANGE
Grealish looks forlorn as he also comes off with what may well be a recurrence of the injury that has disrupted his attempts for a run in the team.
Jeremy Doku leaps off the bench to replace him.

LUTON CHANGE
It's a late change of tact from Edwards that sees Joe Johnson - and not Osho - come on for Bell.

MANCHESTER CITY HAVE BEEN SUPREME IN THIS COMPETITION OF LATE
The current holders have won each of their last eight FA Cup games by an aggregate score of 25-1.
Indeed, they have won 32 of their 38 FA Cup matches under Guardiola in the competition, with four of their five losses coming in the semi-finals.
36'
LUTON ARE PREPARING A CHANGE
Bell appears to be hobbling so Gabriel Osho is getting ready on the bench.
Meanwhile, Nunes has received treatment for a knock but looks set to continue.
34'
LUTON ATTEMPT
Woodrow motors in from the left and curls a 20-yard effort just wide of the far post.
Ortega watched that rooted to the spot and it was evidently much closer than he initially thought it would be!

VIDEO: HAALAND AT THE DOUBLE
If it carries on like this, you wonder how many Haaland could end up with come full time.
30'
MAN CITY CHANCE
Krul makes a smart stop to keep out De Bruyne's volley from Grealish's clipped pass and then recovers to block Haaland's follow-up.
The Norwegian could easily have had his hat-trick by now.
28'
THE CITIZENS HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO MAKING THE LAST EIGHT
Manchester City have reached the FA Cup quarter-final in all but one of their seven previous campaigns under Guardiola.
Their only failure was in 2017-18 when they were beaten 1-0 at Wigan Athletic in the fifth round.
It's looking good so far tonight too.
26'
MAN CITY CHANCE
Another slick City move sees the visitors carve Luton open again with Haaland galloping through onthe keeper, but this time Krul makes a brilliant save with his left foot.

MAN CITY ATTEMPT
Grealish drifts in from the left but thumps a low shot straight at Krul.

MAN CITY HALF CHANCE
Grealish is left in too much space on the left and curves a devilish ball into the area, but Krul is grateful to step forward and land on it with two City players nowhere near the delivery.

CAN LUTON BREAK A 30-YEAR HOODOO?
That early setback has made it that bit tougher, but The Hatters are aiming to make the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1993-94. They have only reached the fifth round twice in that period, losing to Millwall in 2013 and Chelsea in 2022.
13'
LUTON HAVE REACTED WELL TO FALLING BEHIND
The home side have played front-foot football and a couple of dangerous deliveries from Doughty on the left have almost carved out openings for a leveller.

LUTON HALF CHANCE
Morris can't adjust to get any purchase on a dart to the near post from Doughty's left-wing cross.
