In the last 16 of the FA Cup, Manchester City will face Bristol City in the Championship. Facing the recent tournament-intensive Blue Moon, team leader Pep Guardiola had to consider rotating his lineup. Bristol City are undefeated in their last 12 matches, and their last 5 EFL Cup matches have all been decided by 3 goals or less, so it seems that the goal difference of 3.5 goals is in doubt. (Note: The match will be broadcast live on myTV Super at 4am on Wednesday)
Bristol City is currently hovering in the middle of the Championship, although there is still a distance to promotion, but the risk of relegation is not high. The EFL Cup is naturally the focus of the team, and the team's recent performance is quite hot, after beating Hau City in the last round, the team has remained undefeated in the last 12 matches, of which 6 EFL Cup matches were drawn in legal time, with the ratio of 1-1. Facing the Premier League's dominant player, Manchester City, Bristol City will definitely give their best.
Man City's firepower slightly reduced
Manchester City will be the team's fifth consecutive away game, after the Premier League and UEFA Europa League matches, Manchester City and the opponents in a draw, although the last game to 4-1 win back to the momentum of victory, but a series of matches make the players physical exhaustion, it is expected that even if the game won, there will not be too much difference.
Manchester City has a full squad and can line up two starting lineups. Against a relatively weak opponent, Guardiola may rotate, with Ainin Xalanthe's firepower being temporarily withdrawn, and Kiyun Dibny and Nabil Naboudi possibly unavailable due to ill-health. Zulian Ivaris, Gavin Firas, Steffen Odiga and others will shoulder the attacking burden, but against Bristol City's solid defense, City is afraid that they need to put in more efforts.
