Manchester City vs Stoke City

Full time and a replay beckons. A few boos from the home fans and their team weren't very fluid at all. Stoke battled hard and had chances to win it. As it is they will do it all again in ten days time.

An awful touch from Zabaleta, who has had a poor game, and Man City's last chance to win it may have just slipped by.

Lovely turn from Fuller, now Whelan and Tuncay is slotted in down the right channel but he went for a very ambitious shot and it flies well wide. There was very little support though.

Adebayor chests into Santa Cruz's path but Higginbotham blocks his shot, then the Paraguayan has a chance to win it as Vieira finds him again. His control is good but his volley, from an angle ten yards out, is not well hit.

Four minutes added....

No they don't, the linesman gives a goal kick!

Bridge wins a corner now and City have a late chance to snatch a place in the last eight.

A poor free kick, and this game is edging towards a replay.

Now Man City scramble to clear as Stoke pin them in their own box. Both sides want to win this without a replay. Vieira tugs Diao and now Stoke do have a chance to get quality into the box.

A poor ball from Vieira as Man City try to press now. He picks it up again and feeds Adebayor but his deflected shot isn't troubling Sorensen.

Tuncay gets a few yards of space down the left but gets into the box and can't get round Shawcross.

Great battle between De Jong and Fuller in the middle of the park. Stoke win the free kick.

Santa Cruz and Huth labour towards the byline and Man City get the corner.

Vieira wrestles Diao to the ground and as the move goes on Wright-Phillips has a pop that hits the side netting. Vieira's was a blatant foul.

Sidibe ambles back but then gives it the full gun as SWP sprints down the right. The winger took it too far and Stoke have a goal kick.

This corner comes out to Bridge and his effort is deflected behind for another corner....

Diao concedes an unnecessary corner after SWP crossed. Vieira has a go when it broke to him, then as the ball is turned back in Sorensen makes a superb save from Barry's header.

Whelan goes for a Figueroa style effort but hits the stands not the net.

The camera pans to faces in the crowd and they all look bored.

Chance for Adebayor as he takes down a cross on his chest and swivels. He was off balance though and it was on his left side. It goes wide.

Tuncay knocks a free kick on the right side to Whelan but his effort is too close to Given. He hit it with power though.

Ireland comes off for Vieira. To a slight titter of applause. The home fans are asleep.

Only an excellent intervention from Lescott prevents Tuncay a clean run on goal after Zabaleta's mistake.

It was a throw in fact and Delap's effort was turned back into the box by Diao before Whelan's effort was blocked.

Vieira is preparing to come on as Stoke win a corner.
