Event Preview
Andoni Iraola could make club history this season, as he attempts to guide Bournemouth into Europe for the first time. The Cherries could yet accomplish that feat based on their EPL standing, but a cup success would see the Spaniard immortalized in club history forever.
Bournemouth are competing at this stage of the competition for just the third time in their history, and they are yet to reach the final four. The Cherries have performed excellently in the competition this season, knocking out West Brom in the third round, before achieving successive wins against Premier League sides in the most recent rounds against Everton and Wolves.

Man City have been one of the dominant forces in the FA Cup throughout recent seasons. They have reached the final in each of the last two campaigns, and they have reached at least the semi-final stage in every season since 2017-18.
Pep Guardiola’s side have had a very straightforward passage to this stage of the competition after coming up against EFL sides in each of the last three rounds. After battering Salford City in the third round, City have come through tests against Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle. However, this will be a considerable step up in opposition.
Bournemouth vs. Man City Picks
Bournemouth ended a 15-game losing sequence against Man City in the latest meeting between the teams, claiming a 2-1 home success. However, wins in this fixture have been a rarity for the Cherries, which would be a major concern ahead of this showdown. Therefore, the preference is for City to keep their hopes of silverware alive.
