Pep Guardiola has warned Manchester City to remember their loss to Wigan ahead of this weekend's FA Cup fifth-round clash with Newport County.

The Latics knocked out City last season, ruining their chance of a domestic treble.

"With a lot of respect. They have done incredibly in this competition," said Guardiola. "What they do, they do really well. We have watched as much of them as possible.

"Always we try to understand the opponents but in cup competitions, what happened last season with Wigan, one game, especially away. Everything can happen.

"Now our players know a little bit [about Newport] with Wilmott, with [Jamille] Matt, with [Scot] Bennet, with Amond. Both strikers have scored 14 or 15 goals, they are incredible in the set-pieces and the throw-ins.

"They go into the second balls, they use the channels perfectly to put balls into the box. Especially in our box we are going to suffer because they are taller and stronger than us.

"I saw the game against Leicester, I saw the game against Middlesbrough, away and at home. Especially in the second game they were outstanding. They were much better than Middlesbrough."
