That's got another Burton Albion written all over it.

Man city would put 7 goals plus on them. They are a totally different animal to the other premier league teams they have faced.

They would have been better off playing them away. take the money and run

Looking at the way the competition has panned out we could have had a very good little cup run this season. Not many big teams left

I honestly don’t think it’s that good a draw for them. Like has been said, away would have been better as they’d make a lot of money. Man City could play with 7 men and still dick them 5-0, and I don’t mean to be disrespectful to County with that comment. Man City are on a totally different planet to even most Prem sides let alone League 2.

The only one thing in County’s favour is their Godawful pitch!!

As it's at home and they will be fired up plus the pitch is so dodgy I can see it being a lot more difficult for Man City than most people think (assuming they can get past Borough first)....
