Leyton Orient v Man City

The Opta Stat:

"Manchester City have won their last 17 FA Cup matches against teams from a lower division by an aggregate score of 67-8. It is the longest ever winning run by a top-flight team against sides from lower divisions, with their 8-0 win over Salford City in the third round overtaking Arsenal's 16-game run between 1998 and 2005."

The Betfair Bet: Back Man City -3 on the handicap at 12/5

The Bluebirds have also been eliminated in their last four FA Cup fourth round ties between - they've not reached the fifth round since 2013-14.

Coventry v Ipswich

The Opta Stat:

"Both of Coventry's last two FA Cup ties have gone to a penalty shootout, losing last season's semi-final against Manchester United before beating Sheffield Wednesday in this season's third round - with another here they'd be the first team ever to see three consecutive FA Cup ties go to penalties."
