Leyton Orient vs Man City Live: FA CUP LAST SCORE AND MEAKING UPDATIONS AFTER DONLEY STUNNER FROM HALF BLOVE

Guardiola denies the city’s large expenses in fear of transfer embargo

Leyton Orient is ready for a Blockbuster FA Cup fourth round as they welcome the Premier League champions Manchester City to Brisbane Road.

The League One page has already reached it through three rounds of the cup after wins over National League clubs Borehham Wood and Oldham Athletic, as well as earning a 6-5 penalty kick victory versus the championship derby county in their last excursion in this competition.

Orient has a nice season – they sit sixth in League One – but come into the match after losing to Stockport last time. The O’s hope to cause a disturbance to Pep Guardiola’s side that has their own reasons for winning.

City suffered a 5-1 humiliation to Arsenal last weekend and hopes to get back to win ways against a lower league opponent this afternoon. A boost in morality would put them in good condition for the next part of the season as they hope to secure the Champions League football in the Premier League and lift silverware in the cup competitions.

Half time! Leyton Orient 1-0 Man City

Incredible. Leyton Orient is halfway there and will now start to believe. They lead Manchester City and Pep Guardiola thanks to a scandalous moment from loan Tottenham midfielder Jamie Donley. It goes down like his own goal from goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, but Donley inspired it by trying your luck from halfway.

A massive FA Cup story brewing.
