There’s a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs at the Etihad, where Manchester City host the lowest ranked team left in this season’s competition. Rock bottom of the Championship with Miron Muslic about to take over from Wayne Rooney as their manager when they beat Brentford in the third round, Plymouth have since hauled themselves to within three points of safety.

Their hosts today are unlikely to be as charitable, with outright victory in the FA Cup now Manchester City’s only chance of winning a trophy in what has, for them, been a hugely underwhelming season of underachievement. Having battered Salford City in the third round, Pep Guardiola’s side had to come from behind to see off Leyton Orient from League One next time out. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is at 5.45pm (GMT) but we’ll have plenty of team news and build-up in the meantime.

Important Events
Pep Guardiola: “I'm hoping for a difficult game”
“No, they're not unknown,” the Manchester City manager said he was asked in his pre-match press if he knew a lot about Plymouth Argyle. “When Liverpool and Brentford can also beat the best teams in the country this season, they're not unclear.
“And it's not just Liverpool. I saw it. [some of their] Other games. They defend aggressively with wingbacks. The transition they make by attacking the midfielders inside is really well linked. Set pieces are the main focus at Strikers in Championship, and Premier League teams will learn from now on.
“The amount of free kicks and corners they produce isn't like the Premier League. They're solid. The results are there as the manager took over. We expect a difficult game. We play from home, and that's the advantage. The Orient games were very tough.
“We played many times in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup has played against Lower League teams, but they're always tricky. What these teams do, they really do work. And if you're not ready, you're in trouble. You have a chance to arrive again in the final eight of the FA Cup. I want to do that.”
Miron Muslic: “It's a big step to representing Argyle.”
“It's Manchester City. It feels really big because we've been dominating the Premier League for the past seven or eight years,” said the Plymouth manager.
“We'll enjoy this. We've also seen it before Liverpool, which is a big step in representing the best possible argyle, and representing us, and this is a great opportunity to do the exact same thing.
“It's a big game for us as a staff member, a big game for our players, but it's a big game for us as an organization, and a great game especially for the Green Army. This is the Cream Delacreme in British football. It's the best mountain to climb, but it's just a beautiful adventure and we're very much looking forward to challenging them.”
Manchester City: As he succeeded only in the FA Cup, we see the club's failure to recruit in the summer, the bad luck he was injured, and the constant product of time to the core of all Pep Guardiola's conquering teams. Jamie Jackson reports…
Connor Hazard: “We don't want to disappoint anyone.”
As 7,800 Plymouth fans were hoping to make a trip to Etihad for the tie that must be decided tonight following the scrapping of the FA Cup replay, the team's Northern Ireland goalkeeper Connor Hazard emphasizes he is doing his best in the face of extremely difficult opposition and is ready for the penalty shootouts to stagnate.
“You have to think about what you're against, the aspects of their preferences, what to do,” he said. “We try to keep the game as long as possible, but there are every chance that a game like this could be a penalty, and we definitely prepare a few things about it.
“We don't want to disappoint anyone because there are 8,000 people out there to support us. We've done a very good job with Liverpool and hopefully we can do the same in Etihad. We're all really thinking about it. We know what the tasks ahead and what we need to do to get results there. That's what we're trying to do.”

Those teams: Pep Guardiola changed the entire side that beat Tottenham Hotspur in the week, with Stephen Ortega starting on goal, and fringe players signed in January including Vittle Reiss, teenage left-back Nico O'Reilly, James McAtee and Jack Grelish all handed over.
Miron Muslic made six changes to the Plymouth side that he drew alongside Cardiff City at the championship last weekend. Nicola Katick became famous for losing his teeth in the white furnace of combat during Plymouth's victory over Liverpool in the final round.

FA Cup Round 5: Man City v Plymouth Argyle
The quarterfinals will have a place for the glove at Etihad, where Manchester City will host the lowest ranked team in this season's competition. Rockbottom in the championship with Miron Islick took over Wayne Rooney as manager when he defeated Brentford in the third round. Plymouth has since been raised to less than three points of safety.
They also made headlines by knocking out of the tournament after making the most of Arne Slot's gambling to knock Liverpool out of the tournament, making the most of his experimental young side at the home park in the fourth round to his first team player.
Their hosts today will not be charitable. A perfect victory in the FA Cup was Manchester City's only chance to win the trophy, and it was a very overwhelming season for them. Pep Guardiola's side, who abused Salford City in the third round, had to come from behind to see Leighton Orient from next League One. The kickoff at Etihad Stadium is 5:45pm GMT, with plenty of team news and build-ups in between.
