This is the first ever FA Cup meeting between Bournemouth and Manchester City.

Bournemouth won 2-1 against Manchester City in November - their first win against City, having not won any of their first 21 meetings in all competitions (D2 L19).

This is just Bournemouth's third appearance in the FA Cup quarter-finals, losing 2-1 against Manchester United in 1956-57 and 3-0 against Southampton in 2020-21.

Man City have won their past seven FA Cup quarter-final ties, with these coming in the past eight campaigns (exception being 2017-18). Their run of reaching the semi-final in six consecutive campaigns is already a record in the competition.
