City's 15-goal thriller against this year's cup final opponents

4 days ago | mancity.com | Jack Mumford

It’s actually the fifth FA Cup meeting between the sides, with the first two encounters played in this competition back in the 1920s. Having lost 2-0 at Palace in 1921, we hosted the Eagles at Maine Road in February 1926 for a game that still sets the standards for entertainment. The 15 strikes in our 11-4 fifth round victory means that meeting remains the most goal-laden Manchester City game of all time.

The Norwegian returned to the starting XI in the south coast encounter after more than a month out with an ankle injury. With 26 shots on goal and more than 70% possession, it was a dominant performance against the already relegated Saints. However, we weren’t able to find the winner as we continue our hunt for Champions League qualification for next term. Haaland was supported in attacking areas by the likes of Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and James McAtee at St Mary’s.

We travel to the south coast for a 15:00 (UK) kick-off, with our hosts already relegated to the Championship for next season. Victory at the St Mary’s Stadium will leave us in the driving seat for a Champions League qualification spot with just two league games remaining. An ankle injury has meant Haaland hasn’t featured since the FA Cup quarter-final victory over Bournemouth at the end of March, but Guardiola says his Norwegian striker is available for selection again. “He’s ready. He’s fit. Start?

Pep Guardiola’s side head to the United States in June for the inaugural edition of the newly expanded tournament. We’re one of 12 European clubs at the competition, while the very best from Africa, Asia and the Americas will also be in attendance. Our competition starts with group stage clashes with Moroccan side Wydad AC in Philadelphia and UAE-based Al Ain in Atlanta. We’ll need to finish in the top two of the four-team group to progress, so our meeting with Juventus in Orlando could be crucial.
Fernandinho’s landmark games for City

A tireless midfielder acquired in 2013 to provide energy in Manuel Pellegrini’s title-chasing side, he went on to play 383 times, spend two years as club captain and win 13 major trophies before leaving in 2022. In fact, only 18 men have ever worn the shirt more times than he did. He saw plenty of change at the Etihad and was the reliable, metronomic presence at the heart of things throughout. Here we’ll go through his exceptional City career by pointing out the landmark games on the way.

The Portuguese playmaker is just the 16th man ever to play 400 times for the Club and the second to hit the milestone this season after Kevin De Bruyne did so in January. Having been part of the 18 major honours won under Pep Guardiola, Silva is one of the most decorated players in our history.
Bernardo’s landmark games at City so far

The Portuguese playmaker has hit that landmark towards the end of his eighth season at the Etihad Stadium, meaning he averages around 50 games per season. That’s an incredible feat in itself given the level of talent in this all-conquering squad, which Pep Guardiola has led to 18 major honours. But Guardiola often states how he feels safer and more in control when his No.20 is on the pitch, with the 30-year-old excellent at judging when to attack and when to retain possession.

The Belgian is just the second player ever to directly contribute so many times for a team coached by the legendary Catalan, with only Lionel Messi hitting the landmark before. De Bruyne is the only man to have played in each of Guardiola’s nine seasons in charge at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 92 times and providing 158 assists to help us on our way to an incredible 19 major honours.
