Salford City head coach Karl Robinson believes his side are in a better place than last season to take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in this weekend's FA Cup fourth-round tie. Robinson, who signed a contract extension with the club on Friday, was in charge of the League Two outfit when they lost 8-0 at the same venue in the FA Cup third round last season. "We're not at any stage going to say the outcome will be completely different," Robinson told BBC Radio Manchester. "As a football club, it's another tick in the box and we're really excited about going back there." Robinson says he has learned from that heavy cup defeat at City last season.
