Man City to keep their FA Cup dream alive

Manchester City host Huddersfield on Wednesday evening in an FA Cup Fifth Round replay played out in front of the BBC cameras from 7.45pm. Armchair fans have an intriguing match-up on terrestrial TV, and Coral traders ensure there’s plenty for punters to enjoy.

The pair played out an entertaining 0-0 draw in the reverse of this fixture, but both sides had chances to get their name into the hat for the next round at the first time of asking. They’ll be kicking themselves for adding yet another fixture to their already jam-packed schedule.

Man City unbeaten in four

The hosts have had more to smile about on league duty of late however, dragging themselves up into third, just a point behind Tottenham with a game in hand. They are unbeaten in four, having won each of their last three goes in the top-flight. West Ham, Swansea and Bournemouth have all been put to the sword during that purple patch, and with The Citizens scoring eight goals in the process, fans will be hoping they have finally turned a corner and are hitting form as we enter the spring.

Gael Clichy is in contention for a return to the starting line-up following injury, but the tie looks to have come too early for team-mate Vincent Kompany, although the latter is expected to be seen back in competitive action again soon.

Opponents Huddersfield journey to the Etihad knowing that they really could do without it. Everyone at the club will enjoy the occasion, a trip to a Premier League ground filled with stars, but promotion remains their major goal, and a replay wouldn’t have helped that any.
