Manchester City's Omar Marmoush scores their second goal past Newcastle United's Aaron Ramsdale during the match at St James' Park, Newcastle. -REUTERS PICLONDON: Manchester City shrugged off 10 changes to their starting line-up to beat Newcastle 3-1 and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday as Chelsea battled past 10-man Wrexham. City coach Pep Guardiola, juggling punishing Premier League and Champions League commitments, changed nearly the entire side from the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest in midweek, with only Matheus Nunes keeping his place. Wrexham will now turn their attention to their push for a fourth straight promotion – this time to the Premier League. "It was a proper FA Cup game and credit to Mansfield, the stadium, the atmosphere that the fans created," Arteta told TNT Sports.
