Manchester City booked their place in the FA Cup fifth round with victory over Salford City.
Manchester City reached the fifth round of the FA Cup after an underwhelming 2-0 victory over Salford City on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues took the lead through an Alfie Dorrington own goal and had some uncomfortable moments in defence before Marc Guehi wrapped up the win with his first goal for the club. James Trafford had a busier day than he might have expected in the City goal as he made important stops to deny Ben Woodburn and Kell N’Mai.
While it might not have been a vintage performance, it was enough to keep the dreams of winning the FA Cup alive for another season. City will go into the hat for Monday's draw, and here is a look at all the teams they could face in the next round of the competition.
