How both teams go into Man City vs Plymouth
Man City thrashed Salford 8-0 in the third round of the FA Cup and in all honesty, everyone expected them to do something similar to Leyton Orient in the next round. However, it proved a very different story, with the London side taking a shock 16th-minute lead and holding onto it until half-time. However, the resistance finally gave way in the 56th minute when Abdukodir Khusanov scored his first Man City goal, while Kevin De Bruyne finished the job on 79 minutes. Since that match, City have lost 3-2 at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League and beaten Newcastle 4-0 at the Emirates. Pep Guardiola’s men have a challenging run of Real Madrid and Tottenham away, either side of a home clash with Liverpool before they return to FA Cup action.
Plymouth have provided one of the fairytale stories of this season’s FA Cup. As if beating Brentford away 1-0 wasn’t good enough, they only went and took out Premier League leaders Liverpool at home by the same scoreline in the fourth round in one of the biggest FA Cup shocks in recent times. Not bad for a team that was bottom of the championship and sit 23rd at the time of writing. Argyle travel to Luton and host Cardiff in two key relegation clashes before their big day out at the Etihad.
