One to watch: Padraig Amond's late winner at non-league Maldon last week meant he has scored in eight successive FA Cup rounds and he will be a goal threat.

Odds: City 11/10, Newport 13/5, draw 11/5.
Last time sides met: City have not played Newport since April 1985 when John Hawley scored the only goal.
