Swindon 1-4 Man City LIVE! Palmer goal - FA Cup result, match stream and latest updates today
Swindon Town vs Manchester City - LIVE!
The Premier League champions made light work of their lower league opposition on Friday night.
While Harry McKirdy’s goal to pull one back for the home side as City led by three goals gave Swindon something to shout about, City largely controlled the evening with an elegant ease so often seen across other competitions.
Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus (who also missed a penalty), Ilkay Gundogan and the excellent Cole Palmer ensured even a City side without Pep Guardiola made it through to the fourth round and avoided what would have been one of the biggest upsets of all time.
Swindon did give a good account of themselves but ultimately and understandably just couldn’t match a side who are still able to field a team many in Europe would envy even despite their recent Covid problems
The FA Cup is back. Isn’t it glorious?

Roundabout banter
21:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
50:00 - Ally McCoist now comparing how many roundabouts his hometown has in comparison to Swindon.
Tells you a lot about the game...
All City again
21:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
46:00 - A little unsurprising perhaps but City are just dominating now.
A long road ahead for Swindon.

HT: Swindon 0-2 Man City
20:48 , Jonathan Gorrie
The Premier League champions are in cruise control.
CHANCE FOR CITY
20:45 , Jonathan Gorrie
45:00: AMAZING attempt from Cancelo almost hits the top corner.
Ally McCoist cannot believe it. Great scenes.
CHANCE FOR SWINDON
20:40 , Jonathan Gorrie
40:00 - Walker has to cover and clear before Simpson tapped in.
Very well worked.
Hard to see a way back now
20:38 , Jonathan Gorrie
36:00 - Barring perhaps the greatest turnaround in FA Cup history, Swindon are out.
A shame really as the game started so well but City are just so ruthless.
CHANCE FOR SWINDON
20:32 , Jonathan Gorrie
32:00 - Steffen almost lobbed after a loose ball from the back.
Sloppy.
GOAL: Swindon 0-2 Man City | Gabriel Jesus
20:29 , Jonathan Gorrie
28:00 - Swindon get caught trying to pass out and the City breaks it.
After De Bruyne sets Jesus through, the Brazilian slots home.
Home side with the pressure!
20:26 , Jonathan Gorrie
25:00 - A long ball causes Cancelo problems and he fouls just by the corner flag.
Swindon sunk
20:22 , Jonathan Gorrie
21:00 -A long way to go of course but the early pressing we saw from Swindon has died down somewhat.
CHANCE FOR CITY
20:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
18:00 - Silva puts one OVER the bar after a defensive mix-up from Swindon.
Not like him at all.
GOAL: Swindon 0-1 Man City | Bernardo Silva ‘15
20:15 , Jonathan Gorrie
15:00 - Silva taps in after great work from Cole Palmer.
CHANCE FOR CITY
20:14 , Jonathan Gorrie
14:00 - Cancelo makes space for shot just outside the box but drags it just wide.
City settling
20:11 , Jonathan Gorrie
11:00 - Ominous now as City start to knock the ball around.
They’ve not had it easy by any means but this is the kind of game they kill so many top level teams with.
CHANCE FOR CITY
20:06 , Jonathan Gorrie
05:00 - Cancelo produces a filthy nutmeg, squares to Silva only for his compatriot to hit it over the crossbar.
Swindon-ball
20:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
04:00 - What’s so impressive about Swindon is their ability to play out from the back.
When City lose the ball, there’s no panic from the home side, they string passes together in an effort to build a fast counter-attack.
Should be an entertaining affair.
What an atmosphere
20:04 , Jonathan Gorrie
03:00 - Every time Swindon even look like winning the ball, the crowd erupt.
This is why we all love the FA Cup.
CHANCE FOR MAN CITY
20:02 , Jonathan Gorrie
02:00 - Good move down the right side sees Palmer gets a shot off but it’s deflected wide.
Kick-off

Your Evening Standard Prediction
18:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
With all due respect to Swindon, it’s almost impossible to imagine them beating City, even if there are wholesale changes.
City to win 3-0.
Latest Man City team news
17:58 , Jonathan Gorrie
Pep Guardiola and assistant Juanma Lillo will both miss the match with City’s Covid-19 cases topping 21 on Thursday, seven of which are first-team players. Assistant coach Rodolfo Borrell will take charge from the dugout.
Phil Foden and Oleksandr Zinchenko both missed the win at Arsenal after testing positive, while Riyad Mahrez is at AFCON and John Stones is a doubt due to a knock.
Borrell told reporters: “It’s possibly one of the easiest line-ups to decide: we just play with the ones available. We don’t have many more.”
