Man City vs Port Vale LIVE: FA Cup commentary stream and latest score today

Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the FA Cup third round tie between Manchester City vs Port Vale.

The visitors from the fourth tier face a daunting task this afternoon as they look to avoid becoming the latest lower-league side to be thrashed by Pep Guardiola's champions at the Etihad.

City - who claimed an unprecedented domestic treble last term - are the current holders of the cup and, with their Premier League title defence proving hugely disappointing, will be eager to retain it in May.

John Askey's Port Vale, meanwhile, currently sit 10th in League Two and are expected to make around £300,000 from this money-spinning clash.

Can they spring an almighty shock? Today's match kicks off at 5:31pm GMT, with a 60-second delay coming as part of the FA's 'Heads Up' campaign.
