Man City to Cruise into Round Five

Leyton Orient are fighting for promotion from the third tier. Richie Wellens is doing a grand job in east London, guiding the club to 13 wins from 28 league games. The O’s are currently sixth on 44 points.

Man City have not been their usual dominant selves this term, sitting fifth in the Premier League after seven defeats. Last weekend, Guardiola’s men crashed to a heavy 5-1 loss at Arsenal.

Orient set up this glamour tie with the English champions by beating EFL Championship side Derby County on penalties in round three. Wellens’ troops saw off Boreham Wood and Oldham Athletic in the previous rounds.

Man City picked up a huge victory against EFL League Two outfit Salford City in the third round. James McAtee netted a treble, while Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish were also on the scoresheet in the 8-0 rout.
