An FA Cup tie against a side struggling at the bottom of the Championship would normally represent a chance for some Manchester City youngsters to be involved.
Against Swindon and Fulham in previous rounds, City have given minutes to Cole Palmer, James McAtee, Kayky, Liam Delap and Romeo Lavia among others.
Now the cup progresses to the fifth round, Pep Guardiola must decide whether to go strong, rotate using only his senior players, or reward some of those youngsters with more game time. McAtee, Delap and Lavia have been among those switching their time between first-team training and under-23 games.
