Manchester City has had a difficult season, currently sitting far from the top of the Premier League and having been eliminated from the Champions League. The FA Cup presents itself as their only opportunity to win a trophy this campaign, and their history in this competition is notable. Winners two years ago, they have reached the latter stages multiple times in recent years, with their last exit in the quarter-finals in 2018. Facing a relegation-threatened opponent from the Championship, they are heavily favored to win.
On the other hand, Plymouth Argyle seeks relief in the FA Cup amidst the difficulties they face in the Championship. Despite not being in great form in the league, they have performed outstandingly in the Cup. They convincingly defeated Brentford and achieved a surprising victory against Liverpool. With only one loss in their last six matches, they arrive at the Etihad Stadium in good form and with the intent to eliminate another giant of English football.
