Manchester City will host Salford City at the Etihad for the FA Cup’s fourth round this weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s team is aiming for a quadruple this season and has already reached the League Cup final, now focusing on advancing in the FA Cup.
City approaches this match with confidence after winning their last two league games against Liverpool and Fulham, closing the gap to Arsenal to four points.
Salford is currently sixth in League Two as they aim for promotion from the fourth tier and face a tough challenge this weekend, especially after losing 8-0 at this venue in last season’s FA Cup.
Manchester City team news
Erling Haaland is likely to miss Saturday’s match due to a minor injury sustained during the win over Fulham. Omar Marmoush, who scored twice against Newcastle recently, is expected to start in his place.
Jeremy Doku and Savinho are still unavailable, leaving Guardiola with fewer options on the wing. Additionally, Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are also injured.
With a busy match schedule, Guardiola may rotate his lineup. James Trafford, Nico Gonzalez, and Rico Lewis could see more playing time after limited appearances lately.
