Bournemouth vs Man City LIVE: FA Cup score and latest quarter-final updates – UK Times

Some early pressure from the hosts when City have the ball, and Ederson has been forced long twice already.

City are more relaxed when Bournemouth have the ball at the moment.

We’re underway at the Vitality Stadium! Will City manage to stay on track to salvage something from their season, or will the Cherries make a first FA Cup semi-final in their history?

Both sides are in the tunnel at the Vitality Stadium, so we’ll be underway soon in the last FA Cup quarter-final.

The draw for the semi-finals has been made, with the winners of this tie facing Nottingham Forest at Wembley.

Aston Villa will face Crystal Palace in the other match in the last four.

Both ties will take place over the weekend of 26 and 27 April.

This is just Bournemouth’s third appearance in the FA Cup quarter-finals, losing 2-1 against Manchester United in 1956/57 and 3-0 against Southampton in 2020/21.

City have won their last seven FA Cup quarter-final ties, with these coming in the last eight campaigns (exception being 2017/18). Their run of reaching the semi-final in six consecutive campaigns is already a record in the competition.

These sides have met a total of 22 times in the past, with City winning 19, the Cherries winning one and two ending as draws.

This season brought Bournemouth’s first win in this fixtures as they beat City 2-1 at the Vitality in November.

Other than that, the last time the Cherries avoided defeat to City was in 1999, when they played out a 0-0 draw in League 2.

Ahead of the first Sunday game, here’s a brief look at the results from yesterday’s two quarter-finals, with match reports linked.

Pep Guardiola hopes his Manchester City side can erase the memory of one of their season’s lowpoints by making FA Cup history this weekend.

City are bidding to reach the semi-finals of the competition for a record-extending seventh consecutive season as they travel to Bournemouth in the last eight on Sunday.

Their last visit to the Vitality Stadium was one to forget as they slumped to their first Premier League defeat of the campaign in November.

Bournemouth make three changes and crucially are missing two key players through suspension: 19-year-old Dean Huijsen, who has just won his first two caps for Spain, and star left-back Milos Kerkez. Julio Soler and Marcos Senesi come in, the latter playing his first game since an injury in November, and David Brooks replaces Marcus Tavernier.

Pep Guardiola rings the changes for City and brings in some big guns: Lewis, Nico, Savinho, Marmoush and Doku drop out from their last match before the international break, a 2-2 draw with Brighton, with Nunes, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden coming into the starting XI.

Ortega also loses his place between the sticks to Ederson.
