David Wagner’s were more than worth a 0-0 draw against Pep Guardiola’s side at the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday, with a replay now scheduled for Tuesday, February 28 at the Etihad Stadium.

Aitor Karanka’s side made it through to the last eight but only after a late winner from substitute Cristhian Stuani, who came off the bench to deny League One Oxford United a place in the draw for the last eight after they had come back from 2-0 down.
