Just like Cancelo, Gundogan steps off the bench and delivers the goods for Guardiola by grabbing an assist.
GAME SET AND MATCH!!! CHELTENHAM 1-3 MAN CITY - Torres wraps up proceedings with a simple finish as City carve their way through the Cheltenham defence. Gundogan was the man to pick him out, and he couldn't miss from point-blank range.

CITY HAVE DONE IT!! CHELTENHAM 1-2 MAN CITY - Jesus finally gets a goal after going close on several occasions. The City forward has stayed onside by the thinnest of margins and latched onto Fernandinho's lofted pass. After bringing the ball under control, he showed great composure to fire past Griffiths with power.
Tozer goes into the referee's book after a poor challenge.

81'
P. Foden has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by João Cancelo.

Azaz is unable to continue here due to cramp and that will give Williams the chance to impress off the bench.
GOAAAALLLL! CHELTENHAM 1-1 MAN CITY - Foden comes to City's rescue with a beautiful volley at the back post. Cancelo's cross proved too much for the Cheltenham defence, and Foden was one of three City players ready to attack. Thankfully, he stayed onside and slotted the ball past Griffiths.
Guardiola's decision to replace Mendy with Cancelo pays off, within minutes he grabs an assist.
80'
Cancelo tries to make an immediate impression, but he bends a shot past the far post and Griffiths will get the chance to waste more time.

A. May has scored a goal for Cheltenham Town! Assist by G. Lloyd.
GOAAAALLLL!!!!! CHELTENHAM 1-0 MAN CITY - Would you believe it? The League Two side have taken the lead thanks to May. Duff's side went for another long throw-in, and it has worked a treat. Lloyd's touch at the near post has turned the ball into May's path who pounced to perfection before firing the ball past Steffen and into the roof of the net.
Lloyd may not have known too much about that assist, but his touch was vital as it allowed May to nip in before Mendy and Steffen. What a moment for Cheltenham!
52'

28'
City are starting to dominate from the halfway line now, but Cheltenham have everyone behind the ball so, Guardiola's men need to be patient if they want to open the scoring.
24'
W. Boyle gets yellow.
Boyle is shown the first yellow card of the match after a strong challenge on Doyle in midfield.

2'
Steffen is called into action straight away as he is forced to dive towards the near post to stop May from getting to a low cross.

We are underway in this FA Cup clash!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the FA Cup clash between League Two outfit Cheltenham Town and Premier League giants Manchester City. The home side will be hoping to pull off the biggest shock in the competition so far this season, but they will need City to have a rare off night if they are to reach the fifth round.
Cheltenham beat Mansfield Town in extra-time to reach the fourth round, while Pep Guardiola's men cruised past Birmingham City 3-0. The winners of this battle will take on Swansea City after their victory over Nottingham Forest earlier this afternoon.
Cheltenham sit sixth in League Two ahead of kick-off, while City are second in the Premier League table. Cheltenham are unbeaten in five in all competitions, while City last lost a match in November, with Tottenham getting the better of them on that occasion.
CHELTENHAM (3-5-2): Joshua Griffiths; Charlie Raglan, Ben Tozer, William Boyle; Matty Blair, Finn Azaz, Conor Thomas, Chris Clements, Lewis Freestone; Alfie May, George Lloyd.
SUBS: Dan Bowry, Scott Flinders, Andy Williams, Alex Addai, Max Harris, Sean Long, Callum Ebanks.
MAN CITY (4-3-3): Zack Steffen; Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Eric Garcia, Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy; Ferran Torres, Fernandinho, Tommy Doyle; Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden.
Kick-off is moments away as the two teams make their way onto the pitch at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
Once Guardiola has had the chance to speak to his players, City should improve in the second half. On another day, they could be two or three goals to the good, but Cheltenham deserve to be level at the break, and they will be full of confidence when the game gets back underway shortly.
Thanks for joining us for this FA Cup thriller, that is all for now. Goodbye!
Cheltenham deserve so much credit for their performance, and City will struggle to face a side that-well organised again this season. Every single one of Duff's players delivered the goods, but the gulf in class proved too much in the end. While Cheltenham will return to League Two, Man City will now play Swansea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
