Last season, Manchester City reached the FA Cup final, where they were defeated by Manchester United with a score of 1-2. Interestingly, in the 2022/23 season final, the result was mirrored – 2-1 in favor of the Citizens. In the current campaign, the team started with a landslide victory over Salford City (8-0) and in the previous round overcame Leyton Orient (2-1).
However, Manchester City has already been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, losing in the first round of the playoffs to Real Madrid on aggregate. Things are also tough for the Citizens in the English Premier League. Defending the championship title, especially after a home defeat to Liverpool (0-2), seems out of reach. Over the weekend, City bounced back by defeating Tottenham away (1-0).
Plymouth can be confidently called the main revelation of this FA Cup edition. The Championship side has already knocked out two Premier League opponents. First, the team unexpectedly defeated Brentford on their turf (1-0), and then sensationally beat Liverpool at home with the same score.
Notably, Plymouth hasn’t advanced this far in the FA Cup since 2007, when they reached the quarter-finals. Overall, the team hasn’t lost in regular time in five consecutive tournament matches (3 wins, 2 draws). In the Championship, the club is battling for survival and has registered the fewest wins in the tournament, but as we can see, Plymouth knows how to gear up for cup games.
