Guardiola previews Brighton FA Cup semi-final

Follow all the live action as Manchester City take on Brighton this afternoon in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola‘s men remain on course for an historic quadruple, with the side already having lifted the League Cup earlier this year.

But Chris Hughton, who was part of the Tottenham side that beat City and lifted the FA Cup in 1981, will be hoping for a repeat of history today when his men go up against the competition favourites. Follow the live action below:

​Manchester City 1-0 Brighton, 90 + 1 minutes

Shane Duffy flops to the floor as Fernandinho jumps into the back of things.

A real chance for Brighton. 30 yards out, left of centre, Anthony Knockaert presumably to cross.

Manchester City 1-0 Brighton, 90 + 2 minutes

It's scrappy, but Manchester City get it away and launch a counter.

Gabriel Jesus clips one for Raheem Sterling to volley...

Straight at Mathew Ryan who is behind it well, but Manchester City win the ball back from his quick throw out and have a throw in deep in the Brighton half.

FULL-TIME: Manchester City 1-0 Brighton

[6 April 2019 19:25 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Just about.

Far from a vintage cup tie, and only a fourth-minute goal separates the sides at full-time.

Manchester City do just enough to keep their quadruple hopes alive, and they'll return to Wembley for the final. They will surely need to be better than this to beat either Watford or Wolves, who meet in the second semi-final tomorrow.

A brave and battling effort from Brighton, who are unlucky to come out on the losing side. They just lacked the quality in the final third required on an afternoon where, really, Manchester City were there for the taking.

That's all from us here this evening. Manchester City's conquest for another trophy rolls on.

Wolves and Watford battle tomorrow to meet them, and the two seventh-placed chasers will be heartened by how flat their prospective final opponents were.
