Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary of the FA Cup fourth round clash between Cardiff and Manchester City.

Wow, a blistering turn of pace by Mendez-Laing allows him to get to the by-line, he drills a low cross to Hoilett on the left-hand side of the box but he fails to control.

The Cardiff midfielder left Walker in his wake there.

The home side get us underway at a lively Cardiff City Stadium.

A minute's applause takes place for former Blackpool and England defender Jimmy Arfield who sadly passed away last week.

The players are making their way out onto the pitch and we are almost set for kick-off. This has the feel of a 'proper' cup clash. Looking forward to this one.

Guardiola has been having his say on Cardiff: "They are third in the Championship. We are playing away. It will be tough.

"We know exactly how complicated the game will be. Last season against Huddersfield, we needed a replay. It's a team on top form. Tall team, set pieces, aggressive one against one.

"We have to defend high because if we defend the box they are so strong."

Cardiff last met Manchester City in the FA Cup in January 1994, when they knocked out their top-flight opponents as a third-tier side.

Pep Guardiola makes a strong starting line-up, despite making four changes to the side that won at Bristol City.

Kyle Walker starts in defence despite suffering a head injury in that League Cup semi-final victory, alongside Vincent Kompany.

Slightly surprised to see De Bruyne, Sterling and Sane all starting from the off.

Starting XI: Bravo, Walker, Kompany, Otamendia, Danilo, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, Sane.

Subs: Stones, Aguero, Mangala, Adrabioyo, Ederson, Zinchenko, Diaz.

Starting XI: Etheridge, Manga, Morrison, Paterson, Richards, Grujic, Ralls, Bennett, Mendez-Laing, Hoilett, Zohore.

Subs: Tomlin, Feeney, Pilkington, Halford, Damour, Murphy, Bogle.
