Man City, six-time FA Cup champions, last lifted the trophy in 2019 and will hope to channel their scintillating recent performances into a cup-winning run to potentially set up a treble-winning season, given their Premier League position and upcoming Carabao Cup final. But they must avoid an upset against Swansea here before they can begin dreaming of such successes this term. Follow live updates of the FA Cup fifth-round fixture below.
