Manchester City is unlikely to risk captain Vincent Kompany or striker Sergio Aguero against Barnsley on Saturday. However, Carlos Tévez is expected to play for Manchester City, just 48 hours after being arrested for allegedly driving while disqualified - an offence which could lead to a six-month prison sentence.
In the meantime, Barnsley boss David Flitcroft and players Luke Steele and Jim O'Brien eagerly look forward to their quarter-final duel with Manchester City.
Flitcroft says he hopes his team will be "proud" of themselves after the game, while Steele adds that the players will "give everything we've got".
It may be added that Barnsley reached the last four of the competition in 2008 after beating Liverpool and Chelsea, but lost 1-0 to Cardiff at Wembley to miss out on a first FA Cup final appearance since they won the trophy in 1912.
So who wins - Manchester City hold a 50% winning record against Barnsley, having prevailed in 16 of their 32 competitive meetings over 115 years; the Tykes have won six.
