City have reached the final of the competition twice in the past four seasons, beating Stoke City 1-0 in 2011 but succumbing to a shock defeat to Wigan Athletic two years later that ended
Roberto Mancini's managerial reign at the Etihad Stadium. Wigan - now a second-tier side - also dumped City out of last season's competition in the sixth round and the Premier
League champions face another potential banana skin on Sunday when Wednesday - who sit 10th in the Championship - head to town. Pellegrini's side are currently riding the crest of a
wave, however, after a 3-2 victory over Sunderland on New Year's Day moved them level with Premier League leaders Chelsea. You may like And while defending their title will no doubt
remain at the centre of the Chilean's thoughts, he is not about to let complacency seep in against Stuart Gray's side. He said: "We have played three games in a week [over the
festive period], three very important games. "We have finished and now we must start thinking about Sheffield Wednesday and the FA Cup. "For our team it is a very important cup.

happy with the way we are playing; we have so many injured players but we arrange it in different ways to continue winning." The return of Stevan Jovetic meant City were at least able

hamstring complaint - closer to a return. Sheffield Wednesday have won the FA Cup three times in their history, although the last triumph came in 1935. They reached the fifth round last year
before a 2-1 home defeat to Charlton Athletic denied them a sixth-round clash with city rivals and ultimate semi-finalists Sheffield United. Sunday's meeting is the second between the
sides this season, with City having annihilated Wednesday 7-0 in September's League Cup clash. Frank Lampard and Dzeko grabbed doubles that evening, their goals added to by Jesus Navas,
