The Terriers gave City quite a challenge during the first half and held their own after the break as well, but major chances were relatively rare. The scoreless draw means the two teams will meet again at the Etihad Stadium at a yet-to-be-determined date. As expected, City manager Pep Guardiola made some changes to his starting XI, keeping the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane on the bench, per the team's official Twitter account.

Millwall have now beaten three Premier League teams - Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester - in the FA Cup this season.

The Lions defence were more than a match for their top-tier opponents once again. This was a famous day for Millwall. (Getty Images).

Oxford Just Miss Out On Fa Cup Replay

... the result in the melting pot. Middlesbrough's Rudy Gestede scores his side's second goal at the Riverside Stadium. Photo: Richard Sellers/PA. Oxford might have taken an early lead when goalkeeper Simon Eastwood saw his scuffed clearance fall to a yellow, rather than a red, shirt and when Ryan Ledson helped the ball forward, Martinez turned central defender Bernardo Espinosa all too easily, but could not beat Brad Guzan with his shot. Shaken from their slumbers, Boro responded in determined fashion with Viktor Fischer and Adama Traore prospering out wide and Leadbitter and Stewart Downing linking midfield with attack. Gestede probably should have opening the scoring with a free header from Leadbitter's sixth-minute free-kick, but only found Eastwood's arms, while Leadbitter clipped the top of the crossbar with a delicately chipped effort three minutes later. The home side finally made the pressure tell with 26 minutes gone after Maguire sent Downing tumbling inside the box as he ran on to Leadbitter's ...

... shocks. Asked about Lincoln, Conte was effusive in his praise. “This a great achievement for them, and I think the people of the football, of the FA Cup, it’s incredible this, I think in Italy it’s impossible to happen this. It’s fantastic," he added. “It shows that football is incredible, and anything can happen if you trust in the work and have a great will to fight. When you start, this challenge can be impossible but instead they are in the quarter-finals. “They deserve to have great compliment, from the whole country. "It’s a fantastic story, history, and we must… I am pleased to live this story with them. Now we are with Lincoln in the quarter-final and it’s fantastic this.". Conte also praised Wolves, who made life very difficult for Chelsea, before Pedro and Diego Costa scored in the second half. “Wolves started the game very well, with great intensity, try to develop the play and the flanks, put a lot of cross, but I think we defended very well, they hit post after five or six minutes," he said. "We were lucky in this circumstance, then in second half we played our football, played very well, created chances to implement the results. “But I think Wolves ...

... a buzz in the changing room.”. Collins works for a building and maintenance firm and most of his work-mates are foreigners. They really hadn’t heard of Leeds, the team they beat in the previous round. Now he says: “Now they give me a bit of stick but they understand the achievement the club have made and they’re all looking forward to it. A few of them are coming to the game. “Until we pulled Arsenal, we’ve got a lot of foreign lads who work for us so none of them really knew who Leeds were. It was only when they saw me in the papers after the Leeds game that they started taking a little bit of interest. It’s been good. “I work in Camden, I live in Hertfordshire so I travel in to Camden three times a week. It’s right on Arsenal’s doorstep. We’re hoping for a great evening, to stay in the game as long as possible and, you never know, we might nick a goal and ...

Football’s Most Disgraceful Dive

... to get the Big Man sent off. It was my job to front screen and disrupt him. Was trying to get back in front of him. (1). — Joseph Barton (@Joey 7 Barton) February 18, 2017. Tried to duck under his arm and he moved it back and hit me on the head. Contact is part of the game, no problem with that. (2). — Joseph Barton (@Joey 7 Barton) February 18, 2017. Unlike their player saying he was kicked on the floor and also the one who jumped and held his face as if he'd been struck. (3). — Joseph Barton (@Joey 7 Barton) February 18, 2017. You can believe that explanation if you want, but it should be noted that the dive wasn’t the end of Barton’s dirty tactics on Saturday. In the 69 th minute, he clawed the face of Lincoln winger Terry Hawkridge, and amazingly got off with only a yellow card for the hand-to-face contact. Despite Barton’s pleas of innocence on Twitter, it was actually a different tweet that got everyone talking ...

Lawro's Fa Cup Predictions V Arsenalfantv Host Robbie And The Fulhamish Podcast

... the former Watford boss, they have a manager who really should still be in the Premier League as well. We are not quite sure what sort of team Tottenham will put out. They included Harry Kane, Dele Alli and other first-choice players from the start against Gent in the Europa League on Thursday night which might be a factor. I think Tottenham might struggle to get the job done at Craven Cottage, but I think they will come through a replay back at White Hart Lane. Lawro's prediction: 1-1. Robbie: Come on Fulham! No, I'm trying not to be biased doing this, but this is a game where you could see a shock. Fulham are playing some decent stuff at home, Tottenham will probably rest a few players, you never know. 1-1. Fulhamish: I think we can pull off an upset, but it is going to be a very, very close game. We are two clubs with strong footballing identities, who love to keep possession, and have great full-backs. 1-1. Match preview. Blackburn v Manchester United (16:15 GMT). In terms of the depth of quality, Manchester United have as good a squad as any. Even if they make six or seven changes for this, they will field a team that would finish halfway up ...

Tottenham To Face 'next Gareth Bale' Ryan Sessegnon In Fulham Fa Cup Tie

... to Chris. He knows exactly what he’s doing when he gets forward. “The future is his. He has got everything possible. He’s an athlete and he’s only going to get stronger. He’s going to learn the position, which is fair enough – at 16 I’m sure he’s got mistakes in him. But he’s got such massive potential.”. Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic was initially sceptical when told by youth-team coaches of the gem in the academy. “But after a few minutes, you could see,” he said. “Soon I had to put him in the team. Whether he’s 16 or 36 like Scotty Parker doesn’t matter. Fulham Head Coach Slavisa Jokanovic watches Sessegnon earlier in the season. “He will be a good player in the future but it depends whether he wants to be the best or only a good player. To be the best in the world you have to sacrifice and forget your family, forget your friends, forget ...

Jose Mourinho Worried About Manchester United’s Fixture Congestion

... Zlatan Ibrahimovic hat-trick has put them in a strong position to secure a last-16 place in France next Wednesday. United are in the midst of a glut of cup fixtures at the moment, with the final of the EFL Cup against Southampton to come at Wembley on February 26, and Mourinho is worried about the effect that may have on their Premier League form. “With the accumulation of FA Cup, League Cup and matches postponed, it is really hard for us,” the Portuguese handler said. “If we progress in the competitions, we will be in trouble in April and May. But we cannot choose competitions, so we play to win.”. United won the FA Cup for the first time since 2004 by beating Crystal Palace in last season’s final, and their defence of the trophy has been untroubled so far, with two 4-0 home wins over Championship opponents, Reading and Wigan. Mourinho is likely to make changes for the game, and does have injury concerns to contend with. Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick missed the win over Saint-Etienne with minor muscular injuries, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan was absent because of ...
