When is the FA Cup fourth round draw?

Manchester City secured passage into this stage of the historic competition thanks to our 8-0 win over Salford City at the Etihad Stadium.

James McAtee’s hat-trick, Jeremy Doku’s double as well as goals from Divin Mubama, Nico O’Reilly and Jack Grealish helped us to the triumph over Karl Robinson’s side.

In total, we have won the competition seven times – in 1903/04, 1933/34, 1955/56, 1968/69, 2010/11, 2018/19 and 2022/23.
