We welcomed the Championship strugglers to the Etihad Stadium knowing victory would see us into the quarter-finals of the world’s oldest club competition for the seventh successive season.
It wouldn’t be easy though, with the Pilgrims proving this year’s giant killers having already got past Brentford and Liverpool.
This was just the second ever FA Cup meeting between the sides, with City winning a fifth round tie at Maine Road 3-1 in 1987/88 previously.
Pep Guardiola is in the hunt for his third FA Cup triumph, having already lifted the trophy in 2019 and 2023.
In total, we have won the competition seven times – in 1903/04, 1933/34, 1955/56, 1968/69 and 2010/11 before Guardiola’s arrival.
