FA Cup: Manchester City vs Chelsea preview
Manchester City will be out for revenge when they meet Chelsea for the second time at the Etihad Stadium in the space of 12 days. The Blues won the Premier League clash thanks to full-back Branislav Ivanovic who scored the winner on February 3 to end City's 20-match unbeaten run across all competitions. City have a slight advantage after their Premier League match against Sunderland was postponed last Wednesday due to weather conditions. The Citizens might be fresher than Chelsea but they still have to return to winning ways after recording a 0-0 draw at Norwich after the defeat against Chelsea. Sergio Aguero (hamstring), midfielder Fernandinho (groin) and centre-back Matija Nastasic (knee) are all set to miss out for City but Samir Nasri and Javi Garcia have recently returned to training following knee injuries. Chelsea suffered a setback on Tuesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion. However, Chelsea remain at the top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Arsenal. Chelsea have won the FA Cup on four of the last seven seasons, with their last triumph coming in 2012 thanks to a 2-1 win over Liverpool in the final. Captain John Terry make a comeback into the match squad following a muscular issue, while Gary Cahill is in doubt due to a calf problem. Here are the odds at Bet365 for Saturday's FA Cup 5th round match: Manchester City win - 6/5 Draw - 13/5 Chelsea win - 12/5
