Man City vs Salford: FA Cup preview

Manchester City are on a hot streak of late and will be looking to book their spot in round four of the competition this weekend.

The Blues beat Fulham 3-0 in the Premier League a few days ago, with Antoine Semenyo, Nico O'Reilly and Erling Haaland all finding the net.

Hot on Arsenal's heels, Pep Guardiola's men will also be looking to make amends after they have lost back-to-back FA Cup finals.

Manchester United and Crystal Palace have beaten them in successive seasons, with City left with a point to prove this year.

Salford City are desperately trying to earn promotion to League One, after six seasons in the fourth tier.

Robinson's side have faltered of late, but are still in with a chance of earning one of three automatic spots, with four sides promoted to the third tier come May.

Sitting in sixth place, the Ammies are only five points behind Notts County in third but will put all that aside for a big day out at their local rivals.

Many of those players who played in the 8-0 defeat last season will want to avoid a repeat, but with City's class, it's hard not to envisage the same outcome.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Man City 5-0 Salford

Maybe not as big a margin this year, as City will likely rest many players after a heavy week of action. We still expect them to get the job done.
