H2H

Man City on a Roll at the Etihad

Pep Guardiola’s Man City are in top form and are still competing for the 2025/26 quadruple. The Citizens are unbeaten in 19 of their previous 21 fixtures, winning 15.

City are undefeated in six consecutive matches, including five wins, and Omar Marmoush has scored three goals in this period. The Egyptian’s recent goals have come at home in a 2-0 win over Wolves and a 3-1 victory against Newcastle.

Guardiola’s team won a third consecutive game on Wednesday by comfortably beating Fulham 3-0 at the Etihad. Antoine Semenyo, Nico O’Reilly and Erling Haaland scored in the first half as City had 1.37 XG.

Salford Losing Form Ahead of the FA Cup

Salford began their 2025/26 FA Cup run with a first-round 1-1 draw and win on penalties against Lincoln. The League Two side followed that result with a 4-0 win against Leyton Orient and a 3-2 victory over Swindon.

The Greater Manchester outfit have hit patchy form since their cup win against Swindon. The Ammies have lost two of their last three matches.

Salford’s inconsistent form continued with a 1-0 away defeat at Accrington Stanley. Karl Robinson’s side conceded after four minutes and couldn’t reply with 1.71 XG and 15 shots.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Man City (4-1-4-1): James Trafford; Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi, Rico Lewis; Nico Gonzalez; Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Nico O'Reilly, Phil Foden; Omar Marmoush

Winger Jeremy Doku is out with a calf issue. Midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Joskov Gvardiol are also unavailable due to injury.

Erling Haaland is unlikely to feature after coming off at half time against Fulham. Pep Guardiola confirmed that the striker had a knock and said, “Niggles, some problems. He didn't feel comfortable.”

Salford (3-1-4-2): Matt Young; Oliver Turton, Alfied Dorrington, Luke Garbutt; Matt Butcher; Rosaire Longelo-Mbule, Ben Woodburn, Jorge Grant, Kelly N'Mai; Ryan Graydon, Daniel Udoh

Defender Michael Rose is unavailable due to a long-term leg injury.

Verdict

Man City v Salford City

City can roate and in-form Omar Marmoush is likely to start against Salford. The Egyptian is tipped to score in a one-sided FA Cup triumph for the Citizens.
