FA Cup weekend continues with an interesting fifth round tie as Manchester City welcome Plymouth Argyle to the Etihad Stadium. It may be fourth in the Premier League against third from bottom in the Championship, but this competition is known for serving up a shock result or two.
Already this season, Plymouth have knocked out two Premier League opposition including the best team in the country right now, Liverpool. In fact, the Championship outfit were well worth their 1-0 victory at Home Park in round four and will have to produce a similar performance to claim the scalp of the reigning champions of England.
City put eight past Salford in round three before struggling to overcome League One side Leyton Orient in the previous round. Though, Pep Guardiola's side have warmed up for this evening's fifth round clash with a 1-0 win over Tottenham in midweek, and were unfortunate not to have won by a bigger margin. A place in the quarter-final is at stake. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
