Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newport County

Manchester City will continue their bid for the quadruple when they face Newport County in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday evening.

The North-West giants produced one of their best performances of the season on Sunday as they thrashed Chelsea by a 6-0 scoreline at the Etihad Stadium.

City have reached the last 16 of the FA Cup by recording convincing victories over Rotherham United and Burnley.
