Man City to face Swansea City in FA Cup quarter-final

Manchester City will face Swansea City away in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Pep Guardiola’s side remain on course for the quadruple, with young star Phil Foden insisting they could win the lot after Saturday’s win over Newport County.

Foden scored twice in the 4-1 triumph at Rodney Parade, to book City’s spot in the last eight for only the second time in the past five seasons.

City have cruised to this stage, with a 7-0 win over Rotherham in round three, and a 5-0 thumping of Burnley in round four, prior to the Newport victory.

The FA Cup is the only English domestic competition that Guardiola is yet to win, with City’s best performance in the competition during his reign being the semi-final defeat to Arsenal in 2017.

The most recent of City’s five triumphs in the competition came back in 2011, and proved a significant moment as the first major trophy win since Sheikh Mansour’s takeover of the club.
