I don’t take for granted the difficulty when you play an incredibly organised team. I’m not surprised after what they did against Liverpool. I don’t take for granted what we did, good many things. Every step is getting better. Jack [Grealish] played really good, Vitor [Reis], all of them, Nico [O'Reilly]. They want to make transitions. I don’t know how many shots on target we had. The ball is difficult. Sometimes it does what it wants. We're really pleased for the performance. We’ll see the draw tomorrow.
The draw for the FA Cup quarter-final will be made on Sunday after the conclusion of the tie between Manchester United and Fulham.
Here's the sides left and the number.
1. Preston North End
2. Aston Villa

4. Manchester United or Fulham

Peter Reid and Andy Morrison are our guests on Matchday Live and will analyse an important win for Pep Guardiola's side.
City are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win over Plymouth Argyle. Well done lads!
Almost a fourth as City cut open the visitors but Bernardo can't get his shot away.
Big cheers as Nico O'Reilly is announced in the stadium. Thank goodness Savinho didn't take him out with that challenge to celebrate the goal.
Haaland escapes the Plymouth defence but is denied by Hazard. He picks himself up and picks out De Bruyne to slide home the third.
