Pep Guardiola and his team discovered their opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals on Friday as the Premier League leaders drew Borussia Dortmund. The European competition may be the true object of Guardiola’s desires, but City have found success in the FA Cup recently. With a win over the Toffees, City would reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup in the third successive season for the first time since doing so between 1931/32 and 1933/34. They have also regained their form after the home defeat in the Manchester derby, winning each of their last three matches by an aggregate score of 10-2 – including the 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Everton are hoping to bounce back in the FA Cup after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. A 2-0 loss to Chelsea was followed up by a 2-1 home defeat to Burnley, and Everton have lost four of their previous five FA Cup matches against Premier League opposition. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side defeated Tottenham in a 5-4 thriller in the last round and they have won their last four home matches in the cup. Follow all the action live below:

30 mins: Fernandinho plays well in defence and in attack. He draws the foul out of Richarlison and City have a free kick of their own on the inside left. Raheem Sterling takes the free kick, hoping to swing the ball round the wall and then dip before it reaches the goal. He does the first part well but the ball doesn’t drop and his effort goes over the crossbar.

24 mins: Man City have had around 85% of possession but Everton seem to get some decent moments. The ball is flicked out to the left wing where Andre Gomes chases the ball down and whips a cross into the box first time. It’s a lovely ball that almost finds Calvert-Lewin but Aymeric Laporte jumps in front of the striker to work the ball clear.

EVERTON 0 - 0 MAN CITY
15 mins: Phil Foden has been sharp. He looks really confident taking on Everton defenders one-on-one. He runs into the box from the right this time and wins a corner. Ilkay Gundogan whips the set piece into the middle of the box but Everton deal with it. Richarlison, I think, with the headed clearance.

EVERTON 0 - 0 MAN CITY
12 mins: Calvert-Lewin is the most forward Everton player, waiting just inside of the halfway line as Man City probe Everton’s defences for an opening. The Toffees win the ball and Calvert-Lewin does brilliantly to hold it up long enough for Richarlison to run forward. He passes it out to his strike partner who carries it up the pitch. Lucas Digne gets free on the overlap and his cross into the penalty area gets blocked.
