While the Premier League title and that elusive Champions League trophy are the main focuses for Pep Guardiola’s men this season, winning the FA Cup for the seventh time in the club’s history is also firmly on the agenda.

Standing between City and a spot in the quarter-finals are a Peterborough side rooted to the bottom of the Championship table, eight points adrift of safety, without a league win since December 11 and with a new manager at the helm after Grant McCann returned for his second permanent spell as boss last week following the resignation of Darren Ferguson.
The Posh have recorded victories over Bristol Rovers and QPR to reach this stage of the FA Cup but if they are to continue the welcome distraction from their league woes, then a monumental upset will be required.
Such is Man City’s squad depth that even a much-changed side would boast a number of world-class players and 4-1 victories over both Swindon Town and Fulham to reach this stage prove that they mean business in this competition.
