Bristol City will welcome Manchester City to Ashton Gate Stadium this Tuesday for the sixth-round fixture of the FA Cup.
Bristol City are looking to make history here as they haven’t progressed past the fifth round of the FA Cup since 1973/1974. But Nigel Pearson’s side come into this match in good form as they’re unbeaten in 12 games (W6, D6).
The Robins are especially strong at Ashton Gate, where they haven’t tasted defeat in seven matches (W4, D3) and have only lost one of their last five FA Cup fixtures (W2, D2).
They will fancy their chances here, having beaten City’s rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the League Cup in 2017. Yet, the Sky Blues aren’t an easy nut to crack for smaller teams, especially in this competition.

Pep Guardiola’s side haven’t lost in this competition to a non-Premier League side since February 2018 (1-0 vs Wigan), with that loss being the last time they lost an FA Cup game away from the Etihad Stadium before the semi-finals.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last five matches (W3, D2) following Saturday’s 4-1 league win over Bournemouth. Having won each of the three head-to-head meetings in this century by 2+ goals, City will be confident of another win.
