FULL-TIME: SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY
90'
There are going to be three minutes of stoppage time at the end of this game.
88'
R. Mahrez gets yellow.
Mahrez takes one for the team as he pulls back Murphy, who was threatening to embark on a dangerous run down the right wing. He has no complaints as he is shown a yellow card.
86'
R. Sterling enters the game and replaces S. Agüero.
Guardiola turns to the bench and Aguero is given a rest as he goes off to be replaced by Raheem Sterling.
85'
We are into the last five minutes at Hillsborough and, while trailing by a single goal, there is still hope for Wednesday. However, City appear to have recovered from their recent spell of complacency and are pushing for a second.
82'
That opportunity has sparked Wednesday into life! Suddenly, City have become complacent and high pressure from the hosts forces Bravo into conceding a corner. The home fans are certainly responding to their side's sudden increase in urgency.
80'
Chance! Jesus is caught in possession on the edge of his own penalty area and Hunt whips a delicious ball across the face of goal. Fletcher is sliding in at the far post, but just unable to connect.
75'
Mahrez's search for a goal today goes on. Twice within the space of 15 seconds, the Algerian draws fine reflexes out of Wildsmith.
70'
The Wednesday fans are desperately trying to get behind their team but, at the moment, they can get nowhere near City. The FA Cup holders continue to knock the ball around with relative ease as they search for a second goal that would more than likely put this tie beyond doubt.
66'
We are approaching the final quarter of regulation time at Hillsborough, where City are still a Sergio Aguero goal to the good. The visitors are looking comfortable with their lead as they neatly knock the ball around to maintain possession.

63'
A. Hunt enters the game and replaces K. Lee.
A groin injury leaves Lee unable to continue in this game. He is replaced by Alex Hunt, who comes on for only his second senior appearance.
61'
Danger for the hosts again as neat link-up play sees Jesus find Mahrez. The Algerian cuts in from the right wing before drilling a low shot narrowly wide of the post.
56'
S. Fletcher enters the game and replaces F. Forestieri.
Wednesday turn straight to the bench and top scorer Steven Fletcher is introduced with Forestieri making way.
53'
S. Agüero has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by B. Mendy.
CITY LEAD!!! AGUERO MAKES IT 1-0! It had been coming! City's relentlessness eventually pays dividends. Aguero is superbly picked out by Mendy in the box. The Argentine turns and shoots, and Wildsmith is unable to keep out his powerful strike.
Mendy demonstrated terrific vision to pick out Aguero with a pinpoint pass into the box.
52'
Bernardo Silva lets fly this time with a low effort from the edge of the box. But Wildsmith gets down well to claw it away.
48'
Mahrez steals the ball from Iorfa and Silva subsequently finds Aguero. The talisman tries an effort with the outside of his boot, but it is never troubling Wildsmith in the Wednesday goal.
46'
T. Lees enters the game and replaces J. Börner.
Wednesday have made a chance at half-time with Borner making way to be replaced by skipper Tom Lees.
Off we go again! Wednesday get the ball rolling once more.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 0-0 MANCHESTER CITY
44'
Wednesday look to launch a counter with Bannan sending a long ball down the touchline for Da Cruz to chase. However, Stones tracks the Parma loanee all the way before making a very well-timed sliding challenge to snuff out the danger.
38'
A concern for City as Stones stays down having landed awkwardly following a challenge from Da Cruz. City will be hoping it is nothing too serious for the England international.
36'
L. Palmer gets yellow.
Palmer is shown the first yellow card of the game, but can count himself unlucky. The full-back accidentally handles as he tumbles to the ground while challenging Mahrez. The home fans are far from impressed with that call.
35'
At the other end, Wednesday look to get in behind as Da Cruz latches onto Iorfa's through ball. But a poor first touch allows Stones to step in and tidy up.
29'
Jesus scored twice in the 4-0 victory over Fulham in round four. City also found the net four times in the previous round as they put Port Vale to the sword 4-1 at the Etihad.
26'
Jesus times his run perfectly as he looks to latch onto Aguero's neat diagonal ball. However, at full-stretch, the Brazilian is unable to connect and the ball runs behind for a goal-kick.
25'
Of course, City are fresh from winning their sixth major trophy under Guardiola on Sunday. With the Premier League title more than likely out of reach, successfully defending their FA Cup crown will be high on this season's priority list.
23'
Mendy's cross is cleared away by Palmer but only as far as Mahrez, whose strike from the edge of the penalty area is always rising.
20'
Chance! Silva's free-kick into the Wednesday box reaches Stones, who lifts the ball towards Jesus at the far post. But under pressure from Palmer and Murphy, the Brazilian can only head wide of the target.
17'
The left-footed Bannan is stood over the ball. The Scotsman whips it in but there is too much pace on his delivery, which goes behind for a goal-kick.
16'
Meanwhile, Wednesday have another free-kick in a good area after Murphy is fouled by Otamendi on the corner of the penalty area. The hosts must look to capitalise on these opportunities.
9'
At the other end, a lengthy spell of City pressure leads to Mendy drilling a dangerous ball across the face of goal. However, Aguero is unable to react quickly enough to deliver the vital touch and Wednesday survive.
7'
The initial free-kick is dealt with but Wednesday maintain the pressure. Eventually, Murphy cuts inside from the right wing before letting fly with a left-footed effort that is not too far wide of the target.
5'
City force the first corner of the game but Wednesday deal with the delivery and a long clearance launches a potential counter. Strong hold-up play from Forestieri sees him draw a foul out of Mendy and the hosts have a free-kick in a good position.
1'
Michael Oliver is today's referee. He blows his whistle and City get things underway!
It is Premier League against Championship today with both sides bidding to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.

The teams are making their way out onto the field and kick-off is moments away.
City certainly enjoyed the greater amount of possession during that first half, but have not created too many opportunities as of yet. The closest they came to scoring saw Otamendi hit the crossbar, but the visitors have had to make do with half-chances otherwise.
The big games keep coming for City, who lock horns with rivals Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Meanwhile, Wednesday return to Championship action this weekend when they travel to Brentford.
That's all for tonight. Thank you for following our live coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
