Pep Guardiola will shoot his squad for the FA Cup tie with Plymouth Argyle this evening, but the boss of Manchester City will not take too many opportunities with silverware.
The FA Cup is an opportunity for City to claim a trophy with its Premier League defense and Champions League and Carabao Cup Dreams this season.
Championship fighter Plymouth are the opposition in the Etihad and City will be difficult favorites to secure a place in the quarter-finals. After Guardiola and Co had trouble bringing the League One -side Orient in the last round in the last round, they will not underestimate their visitors, even if the top flight victory of the mid -week changes towards Tottenham.

Everson will probably be given the weekend when Stefan Ortega gets in, while Guardiola spoke about Vitor Reis this week and the Brazilian, who was seen in the last round against Leyton Orient, can work together in the backline backline in the last games in the last games. Rico Lewis can return to the right, while Nico O’reilly was trusted again on the left.
Mateo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan can bring experience into midfield, while Nico Gonzalez can continue to settle in the middle. James Mcateee certainly gets a run and Phil Foden and Omar Marmoush can complete the front.
It is not necessary to risk just Haaland, while Jack Grialish is a doubt and Savinho and Jeremy Doku can get a weekend.
“We expect a difficult game,” said Guardiola. “We play at home and that is an advantage, the Orient game was so hard.
“We played many times in the Carabao Cup and in the FA Cup against the Lower League teams and are always difficult. They do what these teams do really well. And if they are not ready, they are in trouble.
“We have the chance to arrive again in the last eight of the FA trophies and we want to do it.”
Predicted city XI: Ortega, Lewis, Reis, Khusanov, O’reilly; Kovacic, Gundogan, Gonzalez; Mcatee, Foden, Marmoush
