    Man City 1-0 Arsenal

    Twenty minutes to go. What do Arsenal have in the tank? Three of their first 11 have come on since half-time so this is a stronger team than the one which started the game.

    Gabriel Martinelli is caught offside.

    Straight after the goal Arsenal brought on Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Martinelli for Kieran Tierney and Leandro Trossard, who was quieter after a good first half.

    That was beautiful. The way Ake turned that in. What a finish.

    Matt Turner is going to wish he had a couple more inches on his fingers there.

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That was a striker's finsh. He uses the defender and curls it around him into the corner, Jack Grealish has done so well and Julian Alvarez has made a real difference.

    It's a very unlikely goalscorer in Ake. He took it well - swept it into the corner of the net. Lovely finish.

    Eddie Nketiah is inches away from levelling but Aymeric Laporte cuts out a cross just before Nketiah tucks in at the back post.

    Manchester City have avoided defeat in their last 17 matches when scoring the opening goal in the FA Cup dating back to 23 April 2017 against... Arsenal. The Gunners came back to win that one 2-1.

    Nathan Ake

    Manchester City take the lead.

    Julian Alvarez hits the post from outside the area and Jack Grealish has the ball in the box for about 10 seconds. He shows good patience and he looks up and eventually passes to Nathan Ake, who effectively passes the ball into the far bottom corner.

    It is starting to settle down again after a ferocious start to the second half from City.

    Arsenal are looking to just knock it around at the moment.

    Man City 0-0 Arsenal

    Just five shots each, a combined three on target. It's not been the classic we might have hoped.

    Ilkay Gundogan miscontrols the ball out of play.

    Craig Smith: Second half just showing how important Thomas Partey is to this squad. We look a lot more fragile defensively.

    Nicholas Walker: Are Man City players allowed to pass to anyone else but Haaland in the final 3rd? It seems he has a monopoly.

    Mahrez hasn't been as effective tonight as he has been in previous games and Walker will slot straight in for Lewis. Like for like subs.

    Arsenal's first chance of the second half. Out of nowhere the ball drops to Fabio Vieira on the edge of the box but he slices his volley wide.

    Another good bit of play from City.

    Mahrez had a great ball to De Bruyne.

    Great save from the keeper.

    Then Erling Haaland runs straight into the shoulder Matt Turner just hurt as they go for a Riyad Mahrez cross, but the keeper is OK.

    Man City 0-0 Arsenal

    Matt Turner is straight back in the action and does really well. He gets down low to punch away a Kevin de Bruyne ball across the six-yard box.

    Man City 0-0 Arsenal

    Luckily for Arsenal they have number one keeper Aaron Ramsdale on the bench.

    But actually Matt Turner is playing on.

    Nicky Weaver

    City are looking slicker now.

    De Bruyne is getting into the right positions.

    Promising for City, as they've got Arsenal on the back foot now.

    Man City 0-0 Arsenal

    Arsenal keeper Matt Turner is down holding his shoulder. The referee stops play so he can get treatment.

    It appears he hurt it whole doing a one-handed punch from a Kevin de Bruyne cross.
