Nottingham Forest v Manchester City

Booking their spot in yet another FA Cup final, Manchester City see off Nottingham Forest at Wembley, winning 2-0 thanks to strikes early in either half. Lewis found the net at the start of a dominant first-half display, before Gvardiol's powerful header extended City's lead soon after the break, but they then rode their luck as Forest fought back. Three times, Nuno's men struck the woodwork - twice through the luckless Gibbs-White - as they went for broke with a two-goal deficit to overturn. As a result, Forest finish with an xG of 1.68 to City's 1.37, but that will be of no consolation to their fans, whose 34-year wait for a cup final goes on. Both sides will resume their battle for a top-five Premier League finish next time out, with Nottingham Forest hosting Brentford on Thursday night, while Man City - who have just seen their title taken by Liverpool - welcome Wolves to the Etihad one day later. Next month, they'll meet Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. That's all from Wembley Stadium today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0-2 MANCHESTER CITY

After Doku darts between two players, Sosa brings him down to the turf and receives a stoppage-time booking.

After Gvardiol clears a Milenkovic header behind for a corner, Elanga's delivery is met by Jota Silva - but his attempt is deflected behind for another corner-kick. Eventually, Ortega gathers the ball into his gloves, and he's in no hurry to use it.

There will be at least four minutes of stoppage time at the very end of this semi-final, so City can almost celebrate booking a place in next month's decider.

Having made a major impact on this semi-final, Kovavic leaves the pitch. Nico Gonzalez is his late replacement.

Nottingham Forest are just the third Premier League team to hit the woodwork three times in one match this season while also failing to score, and that lack of luck - or accuracy - will surely cost them a comeback. It's been a brave effort since half-time, but they are heading out of the cup.

Due to delaying the restart of play from a goal-kick, Ortega is shown a late yellow card.

Sosa's drive to the left byline opens up City's defence again, and despite missing Awoniyi with his cutback, Elanga makes contact. Under pressure, the Swedish winger can't control his attempt, which flies off target before the assistant's flag goes up for offside.

Sosa also arrives from the bench, as teenage defender Abbott departs.

Nuno plays his last cards. Jota Silva takes the place of Dominguez.

Doku is also sent on, taking the place of Marmoush, who set up City's crucial second goal.

With the finish line in sight, Guardiola makes two more changes. First, Foden replaces Savinho.

OFF THE WOODWORK AGAIN! Forest's luck is well and truly out! This time, Awoniyi rattles the post with a flicked finish, then Gibbs-White leaps up to steer a header at goal, forcing Ortega into a flying save! City survive!

Fearful of being left behind, O'Reilly tugs back Elanga by his shirt and concedes a free-kick. That also costs him a booking.

According to Opta's live win predictor, Nottingham Forest now have just a 2% chance of forcing this tie into extra-time, with City clearly expected to see things through.

Remarkably, Gibbs-White is only the second player to hit the woodwork twice in an FA Cup match this season - from the first round onwards - after Solihull Moors' Omar Sowunmi did so in the second round. If either shot had gone in, then Forest would be right back in this contest.

Kovacic plays through O'Reilly, who pops up in Forest's box, and the latter's low shot is blocked. Savinho also has an attempt shut down, so City must settle for a corner.

City also make a switch. Gundogan replaces Grealish for the closing stages of this semi-final.

Awoniyi takes the place of top scorer Wood up front. It's been a quiet shift for the New Zealand striker, who has been starved of service.

Forest finally make their expected changes: first, Anderson is replaced in midfield by Sangare.

OFF THE POST! Gibbs-White misses again! Goalscorer Gvardiol errs inside his own box, gifting the ball to his opponent. Gibbs-White then rounds Ortega and clips a low shot along the box, but it thuds into the base of the far post! So close!

Forest's fans are in full voice again, following Gibbs-White's excellent attempt. Nuno looks to be readying more substitutes, as Ortega plucks a hanging Toffolo cross out of the sky before Wood can challenge for it.

For making a tactical foul, aiming to stop Man City countering, Gibbs-White is booked soon after striking the crossbar.

OFF THE BAR! Gibbs-White shudders the woodwork! Meeting Elanga's cross from the left with a truly superb first-time volley, Forest's main man beats Ortega but sees his shot bounce back off the crossbar! What a strike - but no reward!

SHARP STOP! Following a corner-kick, Marmoush recovers the ball, lays it off, and is then sent through by Grealish. The Egyptian striker lets fly from a tight angle, forcing Sels to tip his fierce drive over the top!

Murillo deals with a dangerous cutback into the box by Bernardo Silva, heading the ball behind for a corner. Can Man City capitalise on another set-piece situation? Gvardiol will come up from the back again.

Bernardo Silva delivers a free-kick towards the back post, but it just drifts away from Dias. If City can score a third, that would surely finish off this contest.

City have already made history as the first team to progress to the semis in seven consecutive years, and it seems that they'll be heading to another FA Cup final. They have killed Nottingham Forest's momentum.

Catching Gibbs-White with a high boot, Grealish picks up the first booking of this semi-final. The referee had no choice but to issue a yellow card.

Such a key component of their back four, Gvardiol has also scored 11 goals for Manchester City across all competitions; the joint-most by any defender for a Premier League club since the start of last season, along with Newcastle's Fabian Schar.

Picking out the head of Gvardiol in the centre, Marmoush delivers a pinpoint cross from Man City's latest corner-kick.

SAVE! Sels keeps the deficit down! Flying across his goal, he saves a shot from Nunes, and Kovacic then fires the rebound straight at Abbott. The City players all claim for a penalty, apparently due to handball, but the referee is not interested!

Since surviving that scare so early in this second half, Manchester City have resumed their familiar dominance of possession. They don't have to force things, rather they'll need to be wary of getting caught on the counter.

MISS! Seconds after the restart, substitute Elanga blows a chance to level things up! After bursting down the wing, Hudson-Odoi rolls a low cross over from the left, but Elanga gets his shot all wrong and fires well wide! He had to score!

Manchester City kick off, and we are back under way at Wembley!

Taking a bolder approach for the second half, Nottingham Forest introduce Elanga, who takes Danilo's place.

Reliant on rapid counter-attacks for their success this season, Nottingham Forest may have to play against type after half-time. Nuno is unlikely to make many changes, letting Man City continue to boss the ball, but eventually he might need to reach for Plan B. Meanwhile, Guardiola can be quietly confident - but his team have let leads slip on several occasions this term and nerves could kick in if they don't score again. It's fascinatingly poised.

Leading 1-0 thanks to an early goal from Lewis, a dominant Manchester City side are in control of their FA Cup semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest at half-time. The outgoing Premier League champions tore into Forest's makeshift defence from the first whistle, and they quickly seized an advantage when their academy product completed a boyhood dream by scoring for City at Wembley. Thereafter, they continued to press Nuno's men back, having almost three-quarters of the ball but without creating more clear-cut chances: City's xG of 0.27 tells the tale, while Forest haven't created any xG so far. Yet to even record a shot, they'll be hoping to fare better after the break, being grateful that they're only trailing by one.

HALF-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY

There will be only one additional minute at the end of this first half, so it seems that Man City will lead by one at the break.

Abbott is rather harshly punished for grasping Marmoush, conceding a dangerous free-kick. However, Bernardo Silva then spares Forest's rookie defender, failing to make the most of his latest set-piece delivery.

Again alert to a rare moment of danger, Gvardiol covers over on the right flank, as Toffolo threatens to cross from near the touchline. He shuts the Forest full-back down without conceding a corner.

The consolation for around 40,000 Forest fans at Wembley is that their team only trail by one. For all their dominance, City have just one shot on target to show for their efforts so far - the opening goal from Lewis, with two minutes on the clock.

Having been caught out by a couple of counters, Man City are now trying to keep hold of the ball. Circulating possession around in midfield, they're clearly dropping the tempo.

As things stand, Opta's live win predictor gives Nottingham Forest just an 8% chance of turning this semi-final around. Meanwhile, Manchester City have a 75% chance of converting their lead into victory. There's still a long way to go, though.

CLOSE! Wood expertly holds up play, before Gibbs-White slips through Hudson-Odoi. The latter then cuts the ball back into the box, but Gvardiol intervenes with a superb last-ditch block! Perhaps it was offside, but he still did well to deny Wood a shot at goal.

Anderson wins a free-kick from Grealish, easing the pressure on Nottingham Forest's defence for a while. Following a brief pause, City have resumed their dominance of this first half.

Grealish drops deep to pick up possession, then puts Savinho into some space just outside the box. The Brazilian's burst is halted, though, when Murillo steps in and slams the ball off his compatriot for a goal-kick. He then urges more noise from the Forest fans.

Gibbs-White plays an angled ball towards Hudson-Odoi on the left, as Forest try to get their famed counter-attacking game up and running. The latter is caught offside, though.

CLOSE! After O'Reilly steals the ball in midfield and skilfully spins Danilo, the young full-back shoots towards the right side of Sels' goal. However, his attempt zips narrowly wide of the post!

Over the past five minutes, Nottingham Forest have finally gained a foothold in this match. Perhaps overwhelmed by the occasion - and Manchester City's fast start - they were barely able to string any passes together, but there are now some signs of improvement.

From a free-kick just inside Man City's half, Murillo pumps a diagonal ball into the box. His centre-back partner Milenkovic meets it, but City comfortably clear the Serbian's nod-down. The assistant's flag is then raised for offside in any case.

Alert to the danger, Gvardiol sees off Anderson's run into the box after Dominguez slips a low ball through, as Nottingham Forest make virtually their first foray forward. Near the midpoint of this first half, Nuno's men have had just one touch inside the opposition box.

Toffolo clears his lines for a Man City corner, which is sent into the box by Bernardo Silva. However, Dias can't make clean contact with a close-range header, allowing Abbott to scramble clear. Eventually, Sels takes hold of the ball.

This is Forest’s first FA Cup semi-final appearance since 1991, under legendary manager Brian Clough. Meanwhile, City's squad have a total of 160 club appearances at Wembley between them - 10 times as many as their opponents. That gulf in experience has been apparent today.

After lining up an ambitious strike from just under 25 yards out, Marmoush fires his rising strike high over the crossbar, with Sels able to watch it fly behind.

Under pressure from all-action Danilo, Grealish sends his low throughball for O'Reilly straight out over the left byline. A goal-kick will give Forest some time to catch their breath, having had just 19% of the ball and recorded only 33 passes.

City fail to make the most of another dead-ball opportunity, as Marmoush hits his free-kick from the right wing straight at Danilo - the first defender. At the moment, Nottingham Forest are just in survival mode, waiting for the onslaught to abate.

A sudden burst into the box by Kovacic opens up space, before a loose touch allows Murillo to step in and hammer the ball behind for a corner. Nothing comes of the set-piece situation, and Nottingham Forest survive another scare.

Danilo makes an important block in the box, apparently using his chest, but Bernardo Silva claims for a penalty. The referee nor the VAR are inclined to agree with City's Portuguese playmaker, so the game goes on.

With 86% of the possession so far, City are barely letting their semi-final opponents touch the ball. Of course, Forest are happy to sit back and strike on the break, but they will have to do a lot of chasing shadows if this carries on.

Combining down the right, Nunes plays Savinho into the area, but the Brazilian's cutback is then blocked away. So far, Man City are totally on top, pushing Forest back to the edge of their own box.

Lewis (20 years and 157 days) is the youngest player to score for Manchester City at Wembley since Steve MacKenzie in May 1981. What a moment for the academy graduate!

Soon after kick-off, Kovacic tees up Lewis to shoot at goal from just outside the area, setting up Man City's opener.

Wearing their traditional red and white, Nottingham Forest kick off. We are under way in London!

Both teams are out on the pitch at Wembley Stadium, so kick-off in this FA Cup semi-final is now just moments away!

Meanwhile, Guardiola makes three changes: most notably, De Bruyne is dropped to the bench. Gundogan is also named among City's substitutes, while McAtee must serve a suspension. The trio are replaced by Grealish, Lewis and Savinho. Ortega beats Ederson to selection in goal.

Nuno names 18-year-old Abbott in Nottingham Forest’s starting lineup for just a second time this season - and the first since September - due to absences at the back. Ola Aina is still injured, while Neco Williams joins captain and key midfielder Ryan Yates in serving a one-match ban. Hudson-Odoi replaces Elanga in one further change to the XI that started against Spurs.

SUBS: Ederson, Jeremy Doku, Nico Gonzalez, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Vitor Reis, Manuel Akanji, Abdukodir Khusanov, Phil Foden.

SUBS: Carlos Miguel, Morato, Ibrahim Sangare, Taiwo Awoniyi, Alex Moreno, Jota Silva, Anthony Elanga, Ramon Sosa, Willy Boly.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have made 28 trips to the new Wembley during a golden era, but claiming a second FA Cup in three years represents their last chance to lift a trophy this season. Since losing last year’s final to arch-rivals Manchester United, Pep Guardiola’s men have suffered an unprecedented slump. Despite winning five of their last six games - most recently pipping Aston Villa at the post - City’s Premier League crown could be taken away today, as Liverpool need just a point against Tottenham to secure top spot.

Making only their second visit to Wembley Stadium since the iconic London venue was rebuilt - and a 12th overall - Nottingham Forest are one win away from their first FA Cup final in more than three decades. Crystal Palace await in next month’s final, if the Midlands club can get past Man City. A recent 2-1 win over Tottenham sees Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sitting sixth in the Premier League; just one point behind today’s opponents, they have already beaten their top-five rivals once this season.
