AS FOR MAN CITY
Google think they're playing a back three, with Lewis alongside the lesser-spotted Kalvin Phillips. I'd almost forgotten about him! Anyhow, I guess Lewis will also look after the right-back are when he can - and this might be a new development in the game: ridiculously athletic and talented players able to occupy two spots on the pitch, to allow for greater ball-dominance and an extra attacker. In front of that double-pivot, City have Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Foden. Tasty.

ALEX SCOTT
Owns the hilariously youthful face on the Bristol City teamsheet - he's 19, and thought to be a very serious prospect. He plays behind the striker, and I'm excited to see him.

WE DIGRESS
City haven't actually been beaten since Boxing Day, and though they've drawn six times since then, they're in alright nick.

BRISTOL CITY
And Manchester City, neither of whom I can therefore call City, and neither of whom I can call by their location because it houses another side who take it's name. That's won to ponder, because typing them in full is a right nause.

YUP, NIGE FANCIES THIS
He makes just one change to the side that beat Hull at the weekend - thanks to a penalty - with Mehmeti replaced by Wells, who took that penalty. I think he must be injured, because he's not on the bench.

HELLO AND WELCOME
Tonight we bring you LIVE updates of Bristol City's FA Cup fifth round tie with Manchester City at Ashton Gate. City are a terrific side, of course, but have shown greater vulnerability this season than previously, while Bristol City are on a decent run and few like to rattle cages as hard and as much Nigel Pearson. This could be closer than people are anticipating. Kick-off: 8pm GMT
