City to Ease into Last Eight

Man City kicked off their FA Cup campaign with a resounding 8-0 win over Salford City at the Etihad. The Citizens ran riot, with young James McAtee helping himself to a hat-trick. City followed that up with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Leyton Orient.

Plymouth have seen off two Premier League clubs to reach the last 16. In the third round, a Morgan Whittaker goal was enough for a 1-0 win at Brentford. Argyle then stunned Premier League leaders Liverpool in round four, with Ryan Hardie netting the only goal at Home Park.

City have been in poor form lately, but the Manchester giants picked up a much-needed league win in midweek. Erling Haaland’s early goal gave Guardiola’s troops a 1-0 triumph at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Plymouth are in the relegation battle in the Championship, but they are showing signs of life under Miron Muslic. The Devon club have lost just one of their last seven league and cup fixtures.
