City are on a 17-match unbeaten run in all competitions and come into the fifth-round tie off the back of a hard-fought Premier League win at Bournemouth on Saturday, thanks to Phil Foden's first-half goal.

Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish were both on the substitutes bench at the Vitality Stadium as they return from absences. Josko Gvardiol appears to be the only doubt, with Guardiola saying in his press conference yesterday that while he is working his way back to fitness he hadn't yet returned to training with the squad.

It feels like the front three of Grealish, Bernardo Silva and Erling
