In the 19 seasons that followed that incredible 4-3 victory at White Hart Lane after the blues were 3-0 and a man down at half-time, City have only failed to get to the fourth round on three occasions. And of those 19 fourth-round matches, City have only failed to progress twice.
Some notable fourth round victories include: 2006 - City beat Wigan 1-0 in a home tie, proving that, at one time, we could actually beat the pie eaters. In 2011, City needed two bites at the Notts County cherry before progressing to the fifth round. A 1-1 away draw was followed by a 5-0 win for the blues, who continued on their path to Wembley. 2014 saw Watford go 2-0 up at the Etihad Stadium and it took Sergio Aguero coming on and scoring a hat-trick to see off the Championship side. 2021 - Cheltenham have TV commentators getting over-excited by taking the lead at home to City. However, the blues win the tie 3-1, causing pundits to resort to continuous squad cost comparisons.
