Tonight, Manchester City will go on the road to play Bristol City in the FA Cup. At stake is a spot in the quarterfinals.
Pep Guardiola’s team is back in the winning mood after beating Bournemouth 4-1 over the weekend in the Premier League. This put pressure back on title rivals Arsenal and helped them bounce back from a rough week in which they blew leads against both Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match.
They will be big favourites to beat Championship teams in the West Country, but Bristol City is in good shape right now and may be hoping to pull off a big upset at home.
After a 1-0 win over Hull on Saturday, Nigel Pearson’s mid-table Robins haven’t lost in nine games. They are now nine points away from the top six teams and haven’t lost a game in 2023. The last time they lost was on Christmas Day.
Manchester City has won the FA Cup six times. They last won it in 2019. This season, they beat Chelsea and Arsenal to get to the fifth round.
Bristol City’s only appearance in a final was in 1909, and they are trying to get to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1974. They have already beaten West Brom and Swansea, both of whom play in the second division.
Date, starting time, and place
The game between Bristol City and Manchester City is set to start at 8 p.m. GMT tonight, February 28, 2023.
The game will take place at Bristol’s Ashton Gate Stadium.
