THREE minutes of added time to be played. City are looking very, very comfortable. Don't expect any late surprises here.

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham (Aymeric Laporte): There's the breakthrough and this is controversial! Laporte, the man who could have been sent off in the first half, scores what could be the winner! He gets in front of Sissoko and heads in from De Bryune's free-kick delivery!

Eleven minutes of normal time remaining and Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero are still sat on the bench.

78'
Jeers from Spurs fans as Paul Tierney allows play to continue after Reguilon goes down under a challenge from Walker having got the wrong side of the City defender.
77'
A goal now would surely win the cup. This game could go either way.

74'
Shot! Mahrez dances away from a challenge or two before unloading a shot from the edge of the box towards the bottom corner, but Lloris is equal to it, pushing it wide with a strong one-handed save.
72'
Gundogan sets Sterling free on the left flank, he continues his run to get on the end of the latter's cross but with a first-time effort he shoots wide.
71'
Dier throws himself in front of another De Bruyne cross as City win another corner. Tottenham clear, but Pep's men keep it alive with De Bruyne swinging in a devilish cross to the far post where Fernandinho heads straight at Lloris.
69'
City win a corner which De Bruyne plays short, exchanging a pass with Mahrez before curling his cross out of play.
68'
It's been a much more even contest since the restart, but Pep has yet to look to his substitutes - it can only be a matter of time.
67'
Double Spurs sub: Moura and Lo Celso make way for Bale and Sissoko.
