    Goal! Aguero! Bravo's goal-kick over the top beats everyone and Aguero nudges Mustafi to latch onto it and finish past Ospina. Weak defending from the German defender. Ospina comes off his line and the striker lifts the ball over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

    The pressure is on at Wembley. After suffering a devastating defeat at Wigan, City's quadruple hopes are over and the trophy count could be down to two after today. Wenger has come under scrutiny recently and it's likely even a win here won't shake it off.

    Wembley is filling up nicely as the players make their way out to warm up.

    Who will win here? On paper, Man City are clear favourites but you never know in a Cup final. Arsene Wenger's men have only taken six points from a possible 24 against 'big-six' clubs in the Premier League this term - compared with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City who have won 15 points from a possible 18.
