Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the FA Cup third round tie between Blackburn and Manchester City from Ewood Park.

The full-time whistle is blown. Manchester City live to fight another day after that shaky end to the game. Blackburn will be buoyed by their performance and the result, though they will feel they missed a chance to progress here. Thanks for joining us today.

City look to be holding out for a draw. They have everyone behind the ball and are looking to run down the clock.

We'll have four minutes of stoppage time at the end of this match. Can either side grab a late winner?

Pablo Zabaleta replaces David Silva as Pellegrini looks to shore up his defence.

As you’d expect, it is ALL Blackburn now. Lescott heads behind under pressure from Rhodes.

SO CLOSE!! Cairney receives the ball on the right and wriggles away from Clichy to have a shot at goal. Pantilimon looks worried but is fortunate to see it fly wide of his far post.

Well, well, well... Blackburn probably won’t have a better chance to make the fourth round. They need to make this count now.

RED CARD! Boyata is sent off. Stupid, stupid second yellow. The young full-back has a swipe at Campbell and is lucky not to be shown a straight red.

Milner’s corner from the left gives Robinson real trouble. The keeper attempts to punch clear but gets it wrong. Hanley clears.

The two substitutes combine straight away. Rhodes skips down the right and hangs the ball up for Campbell, who heads marginally wide from 12 yards.

Spurr's long throw is cleared and City break. Dzeko's volleyed pass finds Milner on the left wing. He cuts inside and then plays in Navas but the Spaniard's shot from close range flies well wide of the target.

Double substitution - Rhodes replaces Gestede whilst DJ Campbell replaces Marshall. Bold. Very bold.

City pressing. Blackburn can't clear their lines. Milner's initial shot is blocked and then a flurry of crosses test the hosts' defence. Eventually Dzeko volleys over from the edge of the penalty area.

Jordan Rhodes is being readied on the touchline. Attacking move from Gary Bowyer.

Great save from Robinson. Navas picks the ball up 30 yards from goal and travels forward before sending a dipping effort towards the far post. Robinson is down well to beat the ball around the post.

City have taken the pace out of the game now. Black burn a resolute and disciplined, but aren’t seeing a great deal of the ball.

Jesus Navas does come on and replaces Negredo, who is not happy to see his number go up on the board.

Shaky moment for Robinson who fumbles Dzeko’s fierce shot from 25 yards. The ball bounces between the keepers legs and then stops. Almost a(nother) very embarrassing moment for the keeper.

Pellegrini still not happy with his side’s performance. He won’t want a replay here. Jesus Navas is warming up on the bench.
