The Blues have met Middlesbrough eight times in the competition with the Teessiders considered something of a bogey team in both league and cup.
The clubs met just two seasons ago in the FA Cup, with Boro winning 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
In 2010, City recorded a rare win at the Riverside Stadium, beating Boro 1-0 in the FA Cup third round.
In 1997, Boro triumphed 1-0 at Maine Road in the FA Cup 5tth round and in 1992, it was again Middlesbrough who won – this time 2-1 – in the FA Cup third round, having knocked the Blues out of the League Cup earlier that campaign.
In 1971/72. City were held 1-1 at Maine Road before losing the replay 2-1 at Ayresome Park.
The very first meeting between the two teams was at Hyde Road in 1904 when Boro held City to a 0-0 draw– before the Blues won the replay 3-1 on Teesside on the way to winning the FA Cup.
It won’t be lost on City fans that Boro held the Blues to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad earlier this season and of the 126 meetings, the teams are tied at 49 wins each with 28 draws in all competitions.
