There goes the half-time whistle.

Zero shots on target for City, zero, zilch, absolutely nothing.

When was the last time that happened?

What an opening for Gabriel Jesus at the end of the first half, latching on to Joao Cancelo's ball over the top but then completely missing his attempted volley.

Manchester City are struggling because Peterborough have a line of six defenders with three midfielders in front.

Compact and congested.

Ralf Rangnick will be making notes for Sunday.

Michael Olise whips in a nice ball from the right but it's over Jean-Philippe Mateta and into the gloves of Jack Bonham.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder on BBC One: "Being in this job we love, we want to win games of football - we have done that pretty well, especially here. It has been good, we have played well, they are a good group to work with

"This is a different competition and one we want to do well and go deep in, it is a huge night for us.

"I was never going to rest anybody, I'm not sure any of the boys would have appreciated being rested in the fifth round of the FA Cup in front of 34,000 supporters, live on BBC One, against Tottenham!"

Conor Gallagher, who had a little problem which meant he was left on the Palace bench today, is having a run down the touchline. He's not coming on or owt, just staying limber.

Did it surprise him?

Riyad Mahrez does well to escape his marker and chip a cross into the box but Ilkay Gundogan doesn't see it until late and heads wide.

A lovely move by Stoke working the ball all over the pitch but Michael Olise wins it on the edge of the box and Cheikhou Kouyate is fouled by Joe Allen.

Under way at the Riverside.

19:55 GMT kick-off for some reason.

Isaiah Jones has done really well this season, he is playing as right wing-back but is a winger. He is quick with the ball, aggressive, his delivery is good.

They got him from Tooting & Mitcham and if you see how good he is, running with the ball, he has pace in abundance and his end product is good. He gets assists and scores, but it is full credit to the Middlesbrough academy system and recruitment.

Might as well just skip through to the penalty shootout now.

The rain is pouring in South London and there is water flowing down pipes straight onto some fans.

Stoke have a corner which Josh Tymon takes but Romaine Sawyers flicks a header over.

Midweek FA Cup action is yet to set pulses racing.

Peterborough 0-0 Man City

Ooh that's hurt him.

Peterborough goalkeeper Steven Benda rises for a corner and looks to catch the ball, but Fernandinho comes in with a challenge, sending the stopper spinning in the air and taking a heavy landing on terra firma.

Stoke work the ball over to Josh Tymon on the left but his shot is blocked by Nathaniel Clyne.

And then Tymon whips in a nice cross but nobody has gambled.

City getting a bit more joy now.

Spurs have a focal point in Harry Kane. He is so clever, dropping into those number 10 pockets, as soon as it goes up to him they have runners - those two (Son and Kane) have been unbelievable, the numbers are frightening.

The closest Man City have come so far, just before the half hour mark.

The dangerous Ilkay Gundogan spins and whips a shot from the edge of the box narrowly wide of the far post.

It had Steven Benda worried, that's for sure.

Palace defender Tayo Adaramola has looked decent so far at left-back on his first start. The Irish teenager can't find Jean-Philippe Mateta with his cross.
