Another loss to Bournemouth would ensure Guardiola's side end season empty-handed
-
LONDON - Manchester City will take on Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals aiming to keep alive their last chance of silverware in a turbulent season.
Pep Guardiola's side are the last of the English Premier League's big guns still standing as Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion headline the tournament's year of the underdog.
Here is a look at the key storylines ahead of the weekend's action.
BOURNEMOUTH A THREAT TO TROUBLED MAN CITY In danger of enduring their first season without a major trophy since 2016-17, City will head to Bournemouth with some trepidation after losing at the Vitality Stadium earlier this term.
When Guardiola's men were beaten 2-1 by Bournemouth in the Premier League in November, it was the first time in their history that City had lost to the Cherries.
The loss foreshadowed the team's astonishing decline as they won just one of their next 11 games in all competitions.
