West Ham United find themseleves level at the break in tonight's FA Cup 3rd Round replay at the City of Manchester stadium.
Despite going into the game with just one man up front the Hammers have created the best chances of the opening 45 minutes, and Dean Ashton was unlucky not to open the scoring when he saw his volley saved at point blank range by City keeper Joe Hart.Meanwhile Lee Bowyer and Luis Boa Morte both spurned good opportunities to give the Hammers the lead in the final moments of the half.
At the other end, a lacklustre City have barely threatened Rob Green's goal, and the United keeper enjoyed a fairly uneventful first half.
We'll have more for you at the final whistle.
West Ham United: Green, Neill, McCartney, Upson, Ferdinand, Bowyer, Noble, Ljungberg, Etherington, Boa Morte, Ashton.
Manchester City: Hart, Corluka, Ball, Richards, Dunn, Hamann, Johnson, Elano, Petrov, Castillo (Bianchi), Vassell.
