Pep Guardiola and Graham Potter go head-to-head in the FA Cup having met in the Premier League just days ago.

Wes Fofana is another doubt but Carney Chukwuemeka could come into the team. Pep Guardiola is likely to rotate from his last league lineup so the likes of Rico Lewis, Cole Palmer and Stefan Ortega should start, as well as World Cup winner Julian Alvarez. Prior to that they had lost to Arsenal in 2020 and Leicester in ‘21.

To make matters even worse for Chelsea, they have failed to score in any of their last four games against Pep Guardiola's team, while the last five games between the two teams have each produced fewer than three goals. Each of the last four games between Manchester City and Chelsea were all square at half time, but all of them ended with City picking up the spoils with dominant second-half performances. Graham Potter began his reign as Chelsea manager with three consecutive wins, but the injury crisis in the last few weeks has triggered a very poor run of form for the Londoners, who have won only one of their last eight Premier League games.

Manchester City host Chelsea in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon, so we simulated the clash to try and predict the final score.

FIFA 23 predicts that City could potentially make it three wins from three against Chelsea so far this season, winning 4-2 in the simulation. Alvarez was finding joy against the left side of the Chelsea defence, and the first goal came when he crept in at the back post to slide Phil Foden's drilled cross into the net. The Englishman skipped past Kalidou Koulibaly brilliantly and fired a curling shot across goal to send City back into the lead. City made it to the semi-final in last season's FA Cup, losing 3-2 to Liverpool in the penultimate game of the competition. The clash at the Etihad started evenly, but it was Chelsea who took the lead after 23 minutes when Kai Havertz beat the City high line, rounded the 'keeper and fired home from close range. The two sides also met in the Carabao Cup third round at the beginning of November, with City winning that game 2-0.

City are looking to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup when we host Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Manchester City host Chelsea in the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium today, just days after their Premier League meeting in west London.

Last year's runners-up have reached four of the past five FA Cup finals, but they won't make it to Wembley this time." I think not but I do fancy both teams to ccore. But Chelsea, can they get something out of this? [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64158968) column, Chris Sutton said: "Manchester City have not really hit their stride since the World Cup, and a few callers to 606 this week blamed Erling Haaland for that - saying their goals are not spread around the team anymore - which I thought was extraordinary. [How Man City should line up vs Chelsea in FA Cup third round clash](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-team-news-chelsea-25913468) Manchester City play Chelsea for the second time in four days this afternoon, and the pundits are predicting a similar outcome to Thursday's fixture.

Graham Cummins can't see the Old Firm joining the English League but believes they'd breathe new life into a 'dying' competition.

It might also help to some degree help settle the debate of whether or not Celtic and Rangers would be good enough for English football." Rangers reached a semi final and Partick Thistle reached the fifth round. Not just for the benefit of the Scottish clubs, but also to help a dying competition. However, could it be possible to allow access to the FA Cup for the Old Firm? The FA Cup is in desperate need of being revamped. But former Irish striker Cummings - who played for Preston North End before moving to [St Johnstone](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/st-johnstone-fc) for a two-year spell - reckons he knows exactly what would help the ailing tournament...inviting the Old Firm to play in the FA Cup.

FA Cup tie on Monday revives memories of a 3-0 win that finished off a remarkable 1985-86 season for Oxford United.

“The place was bouncing,” Perryman says. A late drive from Billy Hamilton, the Northern Irishman, settled any doubts and sent the old stadium into raptures. “I remember how much stick I got from the Arsenal fans, you can’t just switch off the rivalry,” he says. But there was a camaraderie in the team and you could tell, from the success they’d already had, there was the unity you need to thrive.” “A home game, a ferocious crowd and a team that would challenge for every ball” is Perryman’s recollection of the environment and the result completed a year’s work that, after walking the line between success and disappointment, remains a high point in Oxford’s history. Oxford were never an easy nut to crack at the 9,500-capacity Manor Ground. He was a very softly spoken man, but you knew when he was serious. His recruitment was a masterstroke from Maurice Evans, who had reluctantly succeeded Smith after the latter’s controversial departure. “Even if league results had suggested otherwise, there was no way it was a bad team.” They won 3-0, a scoreline that was not remotely deceptive and perhaps benefited from the fact their opponents’ season had flatlined into an inconsequential seventh place. It is open-cornered, lacks a stand at its west end and on a rough evening the cold can rattle the bones. But it has nothing on the rickety old Manor Ground and its slope where an earlier iteration of Monday night’s tie brought one of the side’s finest hours.
