Rico Lewis has insisted that Manchester City are taking the FA Cup very seriously this season after edging past Leyton Orient to reach the last 16.
Out of the EFL Cup and sitting 15 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League, the FA Cup looks like City's best hope of serious silverware in 2025.
But those hopes were tested at Brisbane Road on Saturday when City were losing 1-0 against League One opposition at half-time thanks to a stunning 45-yard strike by Jamie Donley, whose shot found the net via the crossbar and then the back of keeper Stefan Ortega.
