Bristol City vs Man City LIVE with FA Cup team news, predicted line-ups and how to watch
Manchester City make the long trip down to the South West this evening as they face Championship side Bristol City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Pep Guardiola's men are buoyed tonight thanks to their comfortable victory at Bournemouth. Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden were all among the goals in a 4-1 victory which saw the Blues back to their best.
But, as we often seen, the 'favourite' tag goes out of the window in the FA Cup. Hosts Bristol City are in sensational form in all competitions.
Despite being mid-table in the second tier, the Robins are 12 matches unbeaten and will provide a stern test for City. One piece of team news that we are aware of is that second-choice goalkeeper Stefan Ortega will start at Ashton Gate, as announced by Guardiola at Monday's press conference.
Ortega's return to the starting line-up is not expected to be the only change but the Catalan manager did warn Nigel Pearson's side that a 'serious' team would be selected for the match.
