Man City discover FA Cup fifth round opponent as full draw revealed
Manchester City will take on Plymouth Argyle at home in the fifth round of the FA Cup - following the conclusion of Monday night's draw.
Pep Guardiola's star-studded side came from behind to beat League One opponents Leyton Orient 2-1 at Brisbane Road in the previous round. Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne scored the goals for the visitors.
Speaking after the win, Guardiola said: "It was a tight game and we knew it for the situation that we have, but we behave really well, we react really well with great character and yeah, we are in the next round. It is always nice.

"We have been last four or five years in semi-final stages all the time and it's good to continue.
"It's my ninth season in England. I play many times in lower divisions and in this incredible competition, so the vibe, the smell of the crowd and everything, you play in FA Cup and you don't find it in other places - especially in these games."
With the fifth round of the competition set to take place on the weekend March 1-2, City will be eyeing another presence in the final. However, they will strive to go one better this time after losing to nearby rivals Manchester United at Wembley last year.
Plymouth, meanwhile, came away as 1-0 winners against Liverpool in the previous round. The likes of Tottenham, Chelsea and Everton have already exited the competition while Crystal Palace will look to book their place in the next round, facing Doncaster Rovers tonight.
