'The magic of the FA Cup...'

England’s most prestigious cup competition is back this weekend with City entering in the Third Round with an intriguing trip to Swindon Town.

Pep Guardiola‘s men face the League Two outfit at the County Ground on Friday 7 January in a 20:00 (UK) kick-off.

The Premier League Champions have won the FA Cup three times since our historic triumph in May 2011 - most recently in 2019.

Our last encounter with Swindon also came in Round Three of the competition, as we clinched a 2-0 win at Maine Road on 5 January 2002 - almost 20 years to the day!

As attentions turned to Friday night’s clash and a new cup campaign, the squad donned our new training gear on Tuesday too.
