Guardiola’s Troops Looking for Third Straight Victory

Man City recently suffered nine defeats in 12 league and cup games, but they have won the last two. After beating Leicester City 2-0 away from home, Guardiola’s boys hammered West Ham United 4-1 at the Etihad last time out.

Salford are in sensational form, picking up six consecutive wins. They have suffered just one defeat since November and have shot up to third place in the League Two table.

Despite their woes this season, Man City have remained tough to beat at home, with just Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United leaving the Etihad with victories. However, last weekend’s win against West Ham was only their second home league victory since October.

Salford are on a stunning run of form, but Saturday’s cup tie at the Etihad will be a tough task for Karl Robinson’s Ammies. Still, can the fourth-tier team cause a huge upset?
