The starting lineups are in ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Plymouth Argyle | OneFootball

Manchester City and Plymouth Argyle have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today’s fifth-round FA Cup tie at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side beat Salford City and Leyton Orient to secure their place in today’s match. Plymouth Argyle upset Brentford and Liverpool to book their trip to the Etihad. A tricky test awaits Pep Guardiola’s side at home today. If they aren’t at their best, Plymouth Argyle could extend their giant-killing run in the FA Cup today.

Manchester City will enter today’s match without Manuel Akanji, Rodri and John Stones who will all miss today’s match due to injury. Oscar Bobb is also unlikely to play after only recently returning to training. Jack Grealish was also in doubt for today’s match as Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday.

Here are the starting lineups for today’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at the Etihad.
