Swindon Town have the toughest task in English football when they welcome the might of Premiership champions Manchester City to the County Ground in this 3rd round tie of the FA Cup. Swindon are currently plying their trade in League Two, the fourth tier of English football and are in fifth position with 37 points. Manchester City are top of the Premier league with 53 points from their 21 matches. The home team had an excellent win in the first round when they beat league One team Crewe 3-0 and followed that up with victory against fellow League Two team Walsall. Swindon are looking to reach the fourth round for the first time since the 2010/11 season. This is the first between these sides since the 2002 season when they also met in an FA Cup third round match which was won by City 2-0.

Manchester City are on course for the historic treble but will first need to see of fourth tier Swindon. They are in a rich vein of form and have won 13 of their last 14 matches with their only defeat coming against Leipzig in the Champions League. They are heading for yet another league title and are 10 points clear of second placed Chelsea. City have won 10 of their 11 matches against Swindon with these matches played between 1988 and 2002. They have won all seven of their previous FA Cup ties against teams from the fourth tier or lower.
