FA Cup fifth round: Talking points with Manchester City, Manchester ... (Sky Sports)

David Moyes goes to Old Trafford seeking revenge against former club Man Utd; why Fulham could do with Aleksandar Mitrovic returning to put together a cup ...

The last team to do so was Wycombe in 2001. The manager has a lot of experience and did really well at Leicester and Watford. Grimsby have real hope of a scalp. The FA Cup represents the latest chance to progress in a competition against a West Ham side looking to end their own barren silverware run. That could well mean a first start for Solomon, but the Israeli could benefit further from having the club's talisman back alongside him. That's why we are going to fly there tomorrow - to do a good game and go through.

Old Trafford has served as a fortress in the FA Cup over the years. The fifth round has been a major obstacle for Burnley over the years — the Clarets have lost each of their last six fifth-round matches and haven’t advanced to the quarterfinals since the 2002-03 campaign. Son Heung-min has been the Spurs’ go-to man in the FA Cup. These clubs last clashed in the FA Cup during the 2004-05 tournament when Paul Dickov scored in a 1-0 win in the quarterfinals. John Molinaro is one of the leading soccer journalists in Canada, having covered the game for over 20 years for several media outlets, including Sportsnet, CBC Sports and Sun Media. All eyes will be on the fourth division’s Grimsby Town, the lowest-ranked team remaining in this season’s FA Cup, when they play away to the Premier League’s Southampton at St. ET) in what will only be the second FA Cup meeting between the two clubs. Man City have won each of their previous 12 FA Cup contests against lower division clubs by a combined score of 42-8. West Ham’s previous win came in 2001 courtesy of a goal from Paolo Di Canio. Even though Brighton plays in a higher division at the moment, it hasn’t had much success against Stoke over the years. If a game is tied after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time and then a penalty shootout (if necessary) to determine the winner. 28 to March 1, features eight matches in total, including Premier League side Southampton hosting lowly Grimsby Town, who compete in the English fourth division.

FA Cup 2022-23: Bristol City vs Manchester City: Predicted Lineup ... (Khel Now)

Manchester City travel to Ashton Gate for their FA Cup fifth-round clash with Championship side Bristol City.

Even though Bristol is in a good form but it will be very difficult for them to continue this form when they face the powerhouse city. - Man City have won their last 10 away games in the FA Cup, a run that stretches back to February 2019. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that defender Rob Atkinson would miss the rest of the campaign due to a cruciate ligament rupture, and he is the second Robins player to suffer that fate this season after Ayman Benarous. [Manchester City](https://khelnow.com/tag/manchester-city/) travel to Ashton Gate for their [FA Cup](https://khelnow.com/tag/fa-cup/) fifth-round clash with [Championship ](https://khelnow.com/tag/efl-championship/)side [Bristol City](https://khelnow.com/football/team/bristol-city-fc). Lewis also possesses the technical ability and intelligence to shift his role mid-game depending on the team’s requirements and continue to operate at a high level. Pearson’s side has found the back of the net in all of their 11 fixtures since the turn of the year, and the hosts have also shipped just one goal in their last four at Ashton Gate, but such resilience may prove futile against the Citizens juggernaut.

He remains as much of a legend at the Abbey Stadium as he is at City. Leivers almost missed the FA Cup final against Birmingham City. ‘Too far away,’ he says, unequivocally, on the idea of a move to Tyneside. Then, the director discreetly slipped into his hand a packet of Polos. One of City’s directors stepped into the players’ carriage and summoned Leivers. Glenn has heard them many times over, including one from a train ride home after he had captained the side to victory at Newcastle.

The FA Cup has whittled the field down to 16 teams, and there are sides represented from all across the English football tiers as Premier League giants ...

They're pouring on goals (68) and hardly conceding any (28), first in the league in both categories. That means the FA Cup isn't exactly a detractor, and thus Antonio Conte and his staff should decide there is reason to play a strong squad in this match. They host Fleetwood Town, who sit 11th in League One and are enjoying a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions, which started with their 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in their FA Cup fourth round replay. Saints barely skated by Blackpool in the last round, and new manager Ruben Selles knows that Premier League safety is of paramount importance, making for some difficult decisions in his lineup, including with priceless midfielder James Ward-Prowse. Bristol City are on a 12-match unbeaten run, and are greatly improved from the first half of the season when they were leaking goals in waves. Amidst a tense Premier League title fight, Pep Guardiola will almost surely rotate his squad heavily for this game. In what has the potential to be the most exciting, thrilling matchup of the FA Cup Round of 16, a relegation-threatened Leeds side travels south for a matchup with a Fulham team relying heavily on their incredible goalkeeper. Blackburn haven't lost since January 14 in a wacko 4-0 defeat to Rotherham where they held an incredible 78% possession but managed just nine shots — the Championship is truly a weird place. Brighton will surely control much of the possession, and probably win, but it will be a slog. Other Premier League sides remaining in the competition are Fulham, Brighton, Leicester City, West Ham, Leeds, and Southampton. Those two bitter enemies are the top favourites to win the competition, with fellow top-four contenders Tottenham back in third. The most recent winners that are still alive are Leicester City, having secured the crown two years ago in their first-ever FA Cup title.

FA Cup fifth round rules on VAR and replays explained ahead of ... (Manchester Evening News)

All the last-16 ties are being played in midweek and here is all the information you need to know ahead of the action getting under way. Are there replays?

[Joao Cancelo](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/joao-cancelo) also picked up a booking in the Chelsea tie but he is now out on loan at Bayern Munich. So that means that [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc)'s tie on Tuesday will not feature VAR, because it is in Bristol, but United's match against West Ham will. Michael Salisbury is the man in the middle, while Gary Beswick and Simon Long are his assistants. Yellow cards are wiped from the quarter-finals, meaning players must avoid collecting two before that stage to avoid an automatic one-match suspension. For United, the players walking that tightrope are [Rodri](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/rodri) and [Bernardo Silva](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/bernardo-silva) were both shown yellow cards against [Chelsea](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc), while [Ilkay Gundogan](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/ilkay-gundogan) picked one up in the 93rd minute against [Arsenal](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/arsenal-fc) in the last round.
