Manchester City will be locking horns with Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round of the FA Cup this weekend. The former side showed some <\/span>signs of<\/span> relief when they overpowered Tottenham Hotspur by 1-0 in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Citizens have negligible chances of winning the domestic title and <\/span>they<\/span> are already out of the Champions League. Hence, Pep Guardiola would <\/span>be taking<\/span> this competition seriously and try to lift it to avoid a trophyless season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stefan Ortega<\/a> <\/span>is likely to<\/span> operate between the sticks in place of Ederson for this fixture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be surprised if you <\/span>get to<\/span> see a change in the entire defensive line. Rico Lewis is expected to be left-back with Nico O\u2019Reilly being the other full-back in the lineup. Nathan Ake and Vitor Reis are forming the heart of the defence for this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> could be deployed in the middle of the park. It also means that James McAtee might have to wait for his turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeremy Doku<\/a> should <\/span>be retaining<\/span> his spot in the lineup while Savinho might have to make way for Jack Grealish on the left flank. To solidify the attacking front, Pep Guardiola can field Fhil Foden in the central area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erling Haaland recovered from his injury and also scored against Tottenham Hotspur. However, he is likely to rest this week to avoid any risk. Omar Marmoush should be filling his role in the team for this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodri (ACL), Manuel Akanji (abductor) and John Stones (thigh) are all sidelined while Oscar Bobb is close to returning but this fixture might be too soon for him.<\/span><\/p>\n
