Kick off time 17:45 (GMT).

I've enjoyed the FA Cup this season, hopefully that continues.

Last chance of a domestic trophy this season, Arsenal and Liverpool already out, big chance to get to a quarter-final.

Top 4 and an FA Cup in a 'bad' season would be brilliant.

Plymouth will be bang up for this, only lost 1 in 6, harder to beat as of late but surely we should have enough to win this one.

I don't see any reason to not go full strength. Full week off after this.

Gvardiol needs a rest, but no O’Reilly in training. Pep will go strong, but I would play Mfuni at LB. Only 17, but the most talented academy defender we’ve had coming through in the last 10 years imo. Way more talented than JSP, THB, Mbete etc. Dias shouldn’t be risked. Most of the subs from today will start I think

Maybe McAtee for Marmoush and then one of McAtee/Foden false 9

Good chance to play him, only seen him in last UEFA game in Denmark, looked ok.

Interesting view on Mfuni. I am very pleased to hear that. I don't know much about the u-18s but I am aware that they are doing well. I like O'Reilly and I am disappointed that Pep hasn't played him more often.

I'd go stronger as Plymouth are a Championship side and they will be very determined and at the same time we need to go all out to win the FA Cup.

Ederson, Gvardiol, Dias, Reis, Kovačić, Bernardo, Bobb, Doku, de Bruyne on the bench.

Got a week between this game and forest, our last chance to win a trophy this season. I expect us to go strong.
 
Khusanov is going to be a beast of a defender. I can't see him or Gvardiol starting this one.
City 4 nil win another cleansheet. CTID

Only thing I'd change, is maybe swap Khus with Reis.

Some rotation whilst remembering this is the only trophy we can win this season.

Gvardiol deserves a rest, no need to push dias too much so the back 4 picks itself really but id have khusanov right back and lewis left back just to get ake central alongside Reis to guide him through.

Nico needs the games to settle so stick him in the 6 and give Nunes a chance in actual midfield as the 8, he deserves a shot there and his ball carrying should be a key factor against a team that's going to sit deep and low.

Got to keep doku and savinho in the lineup for me, doku can single handedly tear apart lesser sides, he's the easy game winner here and just has to play, no messing about with him on the bench if we need it, start him, win the game then make changes. mcatee deserves his opportunity once more and marmoush needs to learn to play upfront.

Plenty of bench options too with that lineup O'Reilly from the bench if things are going well, grealish can have a run out once doku has massacred the right back, perhaps minutes for bobb and/or echeverri, then there's kdb and gundo for experience.
 
Not buying the notion this game is a banana skin.

If we were playing away and had a mix and match team then yeah, maybe, but we are at home and don't have another game for 7 days after it so a strong team will be played.

I think we will utterly decimate them.

Echeverri will get an appearance.
 
Hopefully we fucking smash these!

I reckon he could get 45 minutes if we’re leading by 2 in the first half. We need to go quite strong, Plymouth is no joke and it’s our last chance of a trophy this season. Khusanov is our best defender at the moment

Not one to underestimate an opponent, but they are 22nd in the Championship. They deserve our respect, of course.

Obviously we wont be doing a Slott and Liverpool. Can't wait.
