Newport’s run to the fifth round has been one of the success stories of this season’s FA Cup
The Exiles have had to play six matches just to reach this stage of the competition, and they have triumphed over Premier League opposition already; Leicester were defeated 2-1 in the third round.Padraig Amond has been the star of their cup run, with the forward netting in every round of the competition so far this season to take his FA Cup tally to five goals in his last eight appearances.Nonetheless, City are almost universally backed to end Newport’s historic campaign on Saturday evening, with Guardiola’s side one of the favourites to win the competition outright. They’ve scored 13 goals without reply in their two FA Cup matches so far this term, but a shadow hangs over City as they were dumped out the competition at this stage last season.Will Grigg’s 79th-minute goal was the difference as Wigan shocked City last February, and Guardiola has promised he won’t take Saturday’s opponents lightly as Newport are BETTER than his side ‘in some areas’.“We are going to suffer because they are taller and stronger than us,” Guardiola said. “In some areas they will be better than us.

Is he actually thinking they can do something? But If I dont think that then how are my players going to believe that?Ive got to lead them the right way and give them the belief that if they can play the game of their lives they can stop the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne.”
