Newport vs Manchester City
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Rodney Parade
Date: Saturday, February 16, 2019
Kick-off: 5.30pm GMT
Aiming to claim an unprecedented quadruple, dominant Manchester City switch their focus to FA Cup this evening.
Pep Guardiola's side have quickly got their mojo back after a rare defeat at Newcastle, beating Everton and firing six past hapless Chelsea to capitalise on a couple of Liverpool slip-ups and return to the top of the Premier League.
Five-time winners City predictably annihilated Championship strugglers Rotherham 7-0 in the third round of this year's competition before booking their place in the last 16 with another ruthless 5-0 destruction of Burnley.

Newport vs Manchester City team news
City's trip to Newport falls just days before their Champions League last-16 first-leg tie against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen, which is swiftly followed by the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
You can therefore expect a heavily rotated team, although Guardiola has surprised fans with the strength of his FA Cup selections so far this season.
Claudio Bravo (achilles) and Vincent Kompany (muscle) remain sidelined, while Benjamin Mendy (knee) is still doubtful.
