Man City vs Arsenal preview
Man City may be trailing Arsenal in the league but at home, they will be confident of beating any side. Pep Guardiola has a record of incredible domestic success at Man City but has still only lifted the FA Cup once. After losing in the Semi-Finals last year, Pep will want to see his team go one step further this time. A comfortable 4-0 win against Chelsea in the previous round shows that Man City are taking this competition seriously. Erling Haaland has been the standout at Manchester City this season — and with 31 goals in 26 games it is easy to see why, but there have been excellent performances too from midfielders Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne (who has 16 assists). Man City have a near-perfect clean bill of health to choose from with only Phil Foden a doubt for this game.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has surprised many this season with his side's title charge but he and his club have history in this competition. He has lifted it as both a coach and player while Arsenal have won the FA Cup a record 14 times. With the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bakayo Saka, and an emergent Eddie Nketiah all in great form, the Gunners can cause problems for any side. Arsenal have also strengthened in the January transfer window and a cup game could be a great opportunity to help bed in new signings Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior. Forward Gabriel Jesus, who signed from Man City in the summer will miss a potential return with a knee injury. After a 3-0 win over third-division Oxford United in the third round, It will be interesting to see how Arsenal match up against a higher level of opposition.
Whatever the result, the Man City vs Arsenal live stream will feature some of the best players in Europe, managed by two exponents of beautiful progressive football. With both teams desperate to avoid a replay, this is a do-or-die match that could go either way.
