Manchester City will be looking to ease into the FA Cup fifth round when they welcome neighbours Salford City back to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
The ’Class of ’92’-owned League Two outfit were put to the sword by Pep Guardiola’s side in this competition last season, losing 8–0. They’ve progressed into the fourth round for the very first time on this occasion, courtesy of a chaotic 3–2 victory over Swindon Town last month.
Having enjoyed their big day out at the Etihad 13 months ago, Karl Robinson may have preferred an alternate fixture this weekend, especially after seeing the Cityzens thump Exeter City 10–1 in the previous round.
Guardiola‘s men were beaten finalists last season, and they enter this fixture off the back of an excellent few days. They followed up their dramatic late turnaround at Anfield with a 3–0 victory over Fulham, and Arsenal’s 1–1 draw at Brentford on Thursday means City trail by just four points at the Premier League’s summit.
