Tevez 50-50 for FA Cup

Roberto Mancini rates Carlos Tevez as 50-50 to make the FA Cup final, with time running out for the Argentine striker.

The Manchester City skipper was absent again on Saturday as the Blues suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Everton.

There had been some suggestion that Tevez could be involved at Goodison Park, with City desperate to give him game time ahead of a trip to Wembley next weekend.

However, he was not in attendance on Merseyside and now has just one more game in which to prove his fitness.

City are due to face fellow top-four hopefuls Tottenham on Tuesday and Mancini has hinted that Tevez must play some part in that fixture if he is to be considered for a final date with Stoke.
