Team News

Newport
Man City
  • Newport have a clean bill of health ahead of their mouthwatering FA Cup clash with Premier League leaders Manchester City.
  • Expect the League Two outfit to name a similar XI to their previous FA Cup outings.
  • Pep Guardiola is expected to shuffle his pack on Saturday ahead of a big week for the club.
  • Claudio Bravo, Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy out once again.
  • Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Danilo and Fabian Delph can all expect to play here.

Prediction

  • Newport are 15th in League Two and will host defending Premier League champions and current leaders Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday. Nothing is expected of the Welsh outfit and they will hope to enjoy a momentous occasion for the club.
  • Saturday's trip to Newport starts a big week for Manchester City, who travel to Germany for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie with Schalke before facing Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final next weekend. Pep Guardiola will hope to see a typically ruthless performance from his side.
  • City have put six goals past Chelsea, five past Burnley, seven past Rotherham and nine past Burton since the turn of the year and it could quite easily turn into a long afternoon for the League Two outfit here.
