Man City vs Brighton LIVE
FA Cup semi-final 2018-19
Venue: Wembley
Date: Saturday, 6 April, 2019
Kick-off: 5:30pm GMT, today
Manchester City can take another step towards claiming an unprecedented quadruple when they meet Brighton in the semi-finals of the FA Cup today.
The EFL Cup winners and Premier League leaders are heavy favourites to reach the competition showpiece for the first time since 2013 after coming back from two goals down to beat Championship side Swansea in dramatic fashion last month.
Pep Guardiola's dominant side, who are also through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, previously thrashed Rotherham 7-0 before also beating Burnley and fourth-tier Newport.
After wins over Bournemouth, West Brom and Derby, Brighton secured their place in the last four in similarly dramatic fashion with a penalty shootout win over Millwall.

Score prediction: Man City 2-0 Brighton
The odds are firmly stacked against Brighton, who are still nervously looking over their shoulders in the league and will be fancied by very few to stop the City juggernaut.
A one-off tie at a neutral venue may offer some hope of an upset, but it would take a very brave person to back against Guardiola and co reaching another final.
