Miron Muslic has made six changes to his starting line-up for Plymouth Argyle's Emirates FA Cup fifth round clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium from the 1-1 Championship draw with Cardiff City last Saturday.

Defender Julio Pleguezuelo, wing-backs Matty Sorinola and Nathanael Ogbeta, midfield duo Malachi Boateng and Darko Gyabi, plus 'number 10' Bali Mumba all come into the side for the last 16 tie.

Jordan Houghton, Kornel Szucs, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Rami Al Hajj and Victor Palsson have all dropped down to the substitutes' bench and there is no Adam Randell in the matchday squad due to an injury.

In the absence of Randell, defender Nikola Katic will wear the captain's armband against City, who have won the FA Cup seven times, most recently in 2022/23.

Muslic has clearly given consideration to Argyle's vital Championship clash away to Hull City on Tuesday night with his team selection for the FA Cup tie. Gyabi and Ogbeta both had spells in Manchester City's academy early in their careers.

Manchester City have a completely different starting line-up from the one which was on duty when they won 1-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

Nonetheless, it is still a star-studded side, with Kevin De Bruyne the captain and he is joined by the likes of Nathan Ake, Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden. Among City's nine substitutes are Ruben Dias, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland,

Argyle: Conor Hazard; Maksym Talovierov, Nikola Katic, Julio Pleguezuelo; Matty Sorinola, Darko Gyabi, Malachi Boateng, Nathanael Ogbeta; Bali Mumba, Callum Wright; Mustapha Bundu.

Substitutes: Dan Grimshaw, Jordan Houghton, Kornel Szucs, Joe Edwards, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Rami Al Hajj, Michael Baidoo, Caleb Roberts, Victor Palsson.

Manchester City: Stefan Ortega; Rico Lewis, Vitor Reis, Nathan Ake, Nico O'Reilly; Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne; James McAtee, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish; Phil Foden.

Substitutes: Ederson, Ruben Dias, Omar Marmoush, Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Nico Gonzalez, Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, Matheus Nunes.
