Goliath City in for an early kill

THE FA Cup takes centre stage down south again this weekend with some intriguing fourth-round ties for armchair punters.

The romance of the Cup didn’t last long for tiny Marine in the last round as Spurs killed them off with four first-half goals.

And it could be a similar story in today’s David v Goliath clash as Cheltenham Town host Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s men head into the tie on the back of nine successive wins while League Two Cheltenham have claimed just one victory in their last nine outings.

That win came in extra time against Mansfield in the last round of the Cup but it would be one of the greatest shocks ever if they triumphed here.

City got the job done early in the last round at home to Birmingham by scoring three goals in the first half.
