Man City vs Plymouth Tips
Tip 1
City’s promising youngster has six goals in 20 appearances this season, with two of those coming in the PL, a single strike in the UCL and three in this competition.
He’s netted five in his last seven, including a hat-trick in his side’s 8-0 3rd round win over Salford City on this stage and will look to seize his opportunity when in from the off.
Tip 2
Despite this being City’s worst season under Pep Guardiola, the reigning PL champions and last season’s FA Cup runners-up still remain in fourth place and will be putting all of their eggs into this basket for a chance at silverware.
Although Argyle find themselves in a relegation dogfight because of the appointment of Wayne Rooney, they’re still going to find themselves unable to match the hosts at the Etihad given the home side’s record in Manchester.
Wednesday’s victory over Spurs was their ninth of the calendar year and the fifth time they’ve bagged the win without conceding, which they should have very little trouble adding to when Argyle make the trip this weekend.
