FA Cup text updates, fourth round stats and goals

Salford could be forgiven for having feelings of apprehension about their FA Cup fourth round tie at Manchester City SATURDAY.

The League Two side were beaten 8-0 at the Etihad Stadium last season, while City beat Exeter by 10 in the previous round this time around.

The only crumb of positivity for the visitors is the fact that Pep Guardiola will field a much-changed line-up after admitting many of his key players were “exhausted” following the midweek win over Fulham.

Salford have not played since February 5, when they lost 1-0 at Accrington. They occupy sixth place in Ligue 2.
