Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Vale's Connor Hall to the rescue with a big block to deny Sam Bell, who did well to jink inside one challenge in the box before firing in a shot after being found by Emil Riis on the left.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
We have 15 minutes to avoid a shootout.
Coventry, Peterborough and Sunderland wait to see just who, if anyone, they are playing this weekend.
It’s been a scrappy game but Vale have edged it. You really wouldn’t think there was so many places between these sides in the EFL.
Wayne, Trentham
City always struggle at this point of the season and we can never get over the line to win enough games to go up or stay in a cup.

Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Some boos seemed to come from the massed ranks of 1,600+ away fans at the half-time whistle there.
Not sure they are impressed by what they have seen.
71% possession, 12 shots, one on target, in 105 minutes (112 if we're including stoppage-time).
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Deadlock intact.
I suspect it will stay that way too...
Place your bets as to how many penalties we get.

I can't think of a game all season where I've seen such a lack of goalmouth action, especially from City.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Into ONE added minute, and Vale have a corner.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Jason Knight goes into the book now for City after raising an arm in a challenge with Ben Waine.
A frustrating night for the visitors is getting even more frustrating.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
A wicked outswinging free-kick from the left flank somehow evades two defenders and a throng of red shirts in the goalmouth and is turned behind for a corner by Jaheim Headley.
Tomi Horvat's inswinging corner comes to nought, however.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Cameron Humphreys goes into the book after having his pocket picked by Emil Riis and then hauling the City man back.
A good foul, his manager might agree, given the Robins were streaming forward.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Can't help thinking, if it does go to penalties, just how long that might take, given the lack of shots on target this evening and the apparent lack of confidence in the penalty area affecting so many players still out there.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Tyler Magloire is limping off with a spot of heavy cramp, Eli Campbell is coming on to replace him at the back for Vale.

Oh Ben Waine, you won't have a better opportunity to score tonight, it was on a plate for you.
It just wouldn't drop. He did well to get into the position but he's leaning back and couldn't get enough on it.
Better from Vale, they're pinning Bristol City back now.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Almost a disaster for City.
Cam Pring to the rescue to deny Ben Waine on the line after George Tanner's tame back-header was pounced on in the goalmouth by the Kiwi forward and he managed to nip past Joe Lumley and slide in a left-footed effort.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Mark Sykes is the latest first XI player to enter the fray for Bristol City, he replaces Scott Twine.
His trickery on the right will cause Vale new problems.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Sam Bell wins a corner on the City right but the deep cross is nodded behind off the back of Noah Elie at the back-stick for a goal-kick.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
38 places between these sides in the ladder, remember, though at times you would not know it.
And you might also wonder why Vale are rock-bottom of League One as they have been hard-working and threatening from set-pieces.
Extra-time: Port Vale 0-0 Bristol City
Into 30 extra minutes we go, unless either team can sharpen up in the final third it will be penalties to follow that.
Rousing rendition of The Wonder of You, by Elvis Presley during the interval, but if we're honest a little less conversation, a little more action would have been more apt...

I think Port Vale will be happy to take it into extra-time. City haven't done enough I'm afraid.
Over 90 minutes it's probably the right result.
Still 0-0 and all to play for.

Credit to Port Vale, done their homework and stuck to the game plan! City same old story. The investment/development in players has to change if this club wants to play at the highest level. Take a leaf out of Brighton and Bournemouth’s book. COYR
Simon, Dumfries
One shot on target by City. We're really struggling to score goals now.
Martyn, Bristol
72% possession and only eight shots to City - our season defined!
Chris, Bristol
Same old thing no one to finish about time the management spent money instead of selling players that go on to become outstanding with other teams

Port Vale progress to fifth round with defeat over Bristol City
Ben Waine's extra-time winner sent League One strugglers Port Vale through to the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in 30 years with victory over Bristol City.
The striker's tame finish at Vale Park somehow evaded the City defence to send the home crowd wild.
It was a dismal performance from the Championship visitors, who lacked a cutting edge all night and were made to pay.
Vale, who are bottom of League One, will host Premier League Sunderland on Sunday - and that will thrill match-winner Waine, who supports their rivals.
"I'm a Newcastle fan so bring it on," he said.
Vale went close inside the first 15 minutes when Waine glanced Connor Hall's left-wing cross narrowly wide of the far post.
On the half hour mark, the New Zealand forward drove towards goal, using his strength to hold off the defence in the area before forcing Joe Lumley into a save.
Waine's third chance of the half came just before the break, heading wide from a corner.
Having struggled to create any clear-cut chances in the first half, Bristol City began to take control in the second as Sam Bell swivelled and shot in the area, but couldn't keep his effort down.
In stoppage time, Bell went close again with a header blocked.
Waine was almost gifted a goal in the extra period when he pounced on a weak header by George Tanner, but his effort was cleared off the line by Cameron Pring.
Vale keeper Joe Gauci was equal to Scott Twine's curling free-kick as he was finally tested.
With penalties on the cards, Waine pounced with eight minutes left, finishing from a tight angle after meeting Andre Gray's through-ball and rounding Lumley to seal his side's first fifth-round appearance since they lost a replay at home to Leeds United in 1996.
Ben Waine scored a 112th-minute winner for the Valiants as Bristol City had just two shots on target all night
Port Vale match-winner Ben Waine told BBC Sport:
"That's unbelievable. It was a solid performance and we reduced them to minimal efforts on goal.
"My first chance probably goes in on a better pitch but the second one probably gets cleared off the line if it's a better pitch.
"It was pure relief when I saw it go in. It was amazing. It was special. Everyone worked their backsides off, to get that reward at the end is amazing."
Bristol City head coach Gerhard Struber told BBC Radio Bristol:
"Really disappointed, we had a completely different plan to jump in the fifth round and again it was in big moments, in these basics [we were] not on top, especially when we realise chances, that we are ready to bring the ball in the net, we miss here a little bit.
"Then we get cheap goals against us, when you look at this goal how we get it it's a long ball, lose the first duel and then it was not connected enough.
"We have some new players in the backline and we have to create a good wall but I'm really unhappy how we deal in this moment.
"We know FA Cup is always a little bit special but we have to win this game, this must be our clear standard and we don't jump in this direction."

Port Vale and Bristol City have never previously faced each other in the FA Cup, with this the first meeting between the two sides since a 3-1 victory for the Robins in League One in February 2015.
Bristol City have won eight of their last nine games against Port Vale (D1) – since the first game in this run in April 2005, their 89% win-rate against the Valiants is their strongest against any side they’ve played more than three times.
This is Port Vale’s first FA Cup fourth round tie since falling to a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in 2013-14. The Valiants have been eliminated from five of their last six ties at this stage of the competition, last progressing to the fifth round in 1995-96.
Bristol City have progressed from five of their last six FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, while they have won eight of their last 10 away games in the competition against lower tier opponents.
Emil Riis has been involved in five goals in four starts in the FA Cup (4 goals, 1 assist), scoring a hat-trick for Bristol City in their 5-1 win in this season’s third round, their first FA Cup hat-trick since Phil Jevons in December 2006 against Gillingham.
