Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Championship Millwall are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals after beating League One strugglers AFC Wimbledon 1-0.

The Lions came close to adding to the 1-0 advantage given to them by Wallace's early goal on a number of occasions in the second half but failed to beat Dons goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for a second time.

Millwall join Watford and Brighton in Monday night's quarter-final draw.

Guardiola picks a strong team, then, as expected. He's made clear that he won't be taking Newport lightly, despite the gulf in class between the two sets of players.

And Newport boss Michael Flynn has emphasised the scale of the task facing his players. They won't be daunted by it, though.

The players are out at a raucous Rodney Parade. The home fans are up for this and the players will be too. The aim for City will be to silence them early on.

After a minute of applause to respect Gordon Banks, Newport get us underway. City might need a few minutes to adjust to the Rodney Parade pitch, which isn't quite what they're used to.

Newport 0-0 Manchester City

2 minutes

A slightly tentative start from the visitors, who pass the ball around in defence before losing it in Newport's half. The hosts go direct and Ederson is forced to rush out and smash the ball into the stands.

Newport 0-0 Manchester City

3 minutes

Demetriou launches in a long throw, which is headed away. The same player then puts a cross back into the box. It's a dangerous one, which curls towards the far post, but Ederson is there to catch it.

Newport 0-0 Manchester City

4 minutes

City come forward for the first time and Newport get as many players as possible back to defend their box. The Premier League side work the ball patiently, eventually winning a corner, which Newport defend well.

Newport 0-0 Manchester City

6 minutes

Some questionable defending from Otamendi, who chases after a ball over the top but is beaten to it by Newport's top scorer Pádraig Amond. Stones gets across to stop the forward in his tracks.

Newport 0-0 Manchester City

8 minutes

Mahrez embarks on a weaving run on the right, beats his man and fires a right footed shot across goal. Day does well to save with his leg and Newport clear the resultant corner.
