And away we go with the second half.

All to play for.

Indeed, Junior Brown is on in place of the already-booked Rafe McCormack at the break.

It will be interesting to see when Darren Fletcher starts to look towards his substitutes bench.

Noah Ajayi in particular has not really had an impact tonight for Manchester United and I wonder if Junior Brown might get a call.

Brown is the player who has missed out due to Amir Ibragimov's return to fitness.

He has had an impact on this run already this season.

And here's how Manchester United quickly got back on level terms.

Here's the goal that put Manchester City ahead...But not for long.

Manchester City had a brilliant chance to go ahead through Teddie Lamb 10 minutes or so before Floyd Samba got the breakthrough.

Well it took 40 minutes for this final to come alive but a couple of goals have certainly made things interesting.

All square at the break.

In the last meeting between the teams, Manchester City took the lead, then Manchester United hit back with three goals on their way to eventual victory.

I mentioned about Jim Thwaites before. His crossing and ball striking is clear.

Godwill Kukonki is an England youth player. He is very robust and a threat in the air, as he proved.

What a reaction from Manchester United. City just don't do enough to stop the ball going into the box.

This game has well and truly woke up.

It was all a bit flat until that stunner from Floyd Samba and what a reaction from United to going behind.

Chances are coming thick and fast now as Harrison Miles tries one from range but Cameron Byrne-Hughes.

This final has come alive!

United hit back immediately through Godwill Kukonki's towering header and we are all square.

It comes in front of the travelling United supporters and Kukonki enjoyed celebrating that one.

Sensational free-kick from Floyd Samba, into the top corner and the United goalkeeper had no chance.

Dad Chris will be very proud of that effort.

Another booking.

This time Rafe McCormack gets himself into the book for a foul on Dante Headley.

I have to say he's trying to make the most of it. There's a little bit of arm there but that's not a penalty for me. You have to say well done to the referee - a bit of consistency, which we always want.

Jim Thwaites and Rafe McCormack need to get greater control in midfield for Manchester United.

Manchester City are starting to play the game higher up the pitch and United need to push them back.

Thwaites is better on the ball than he has shown so far.

JJ Gabriel twists and turns in the box and goes down in the penalty box looking for a penalty but again the referee is having none of it.

Claims at both ends but we remain level.

Gabriel is also booked for diving.

It's an extremely important block. When it comes back to him, I'm just wondering if he's trying to show the goalkeeper the eyes.

Manchester United get forward and Chido Obi tries to slot into the bottom corner but there's a big block in there from the City defender.
