Manchester City are a win away from reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals for the fifth straight season ahead of Tuesday's game with Bristol City.
The last time that City failed to do so, they also faced Championship opposition in the fifth round, when Wigan Athletic prevailed 1-0 thanks to a late Will Grigg winner. You can be sure then that manager Pep Guardiola will not allow his players to underestimate their second-tier opponents this time around.
These sides have met three times in cup competitions over the last 16 years, with the Premier League side winning on each occasion. Only a single goal decided each of those matches, though, so expect Nigel Pearson's side to be competitive at the very least if recent history is anything to go off.
