An away trip awaits Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup | OneFootball

Manchester City booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a resounding 8-nil win over Salford City. Pep Guardiola’s side cruised past their League Two opponents at the Etihad on Saturday. Now they have learned their possible opponents for the fourth round of the competition. But they will have to wait until the fixture is confirmed.

Manchester City will take on either Leyton Orient or Derby County in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Their original tie was postponed due to a frozen pitch. Their third-round tie will now take place on January 14. The winner of that match will host Pep Guardiola’s side in the fourth round of the competition. Manchester City’s fourth-round fixture is scheduled to take place between February 7 and 10 with a kickoff time and date yet to be confirmed.

Pep Guardiola’s side is looking to go one better in the FA Cup than last season. They were beaten in last season’s final 2-1 by Manchester United. They have begun this season’s FA Cup campaign emphatically with their 8-nil win over Salford City on the weekend. The performances of Jeremy Doku and James McAtee’s hat trick stood out on the day as a host of City’s youngsters made their mark on the match.

Manchester City’s FA Cup campaign could breathe life into their season. They have won their past three matches in all competitions and the FA Cup is another opportunity for Manchester City to add another trophy to their cabinet. They will take on either Derby County or Leyton Orient next in the competition as they look to continue their FA Cup run this season.
