Chelsea v Man City preview and tips – Who wants it more?

In case of any draw, there will be a return leg in the Etihad. If there is no winner even then, a 30 minute extra time and -if needed- a penalty shootout will follow.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has vowed to treat the FA Cup with ‘respect’ and says he will select a full-strength side for Manchester City’s visit on Sunday. However, Blues captain John Terry remains sidelined and will miss the game with a hamstring injury. Terry, who has lifted the FA Cup 5 times, also missed Chelsea’s 2-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg loss at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. Chelsea played well in the first half, went in the changing rooms with a promising score (1-1), but received a lot of pressure in the 2nd half and finally surrendered with Cavani’s goal on the 78th minute.

Oscar returned from injury in that match and now could come in to start. Midfielder Nemanja Matic is available following his European suspension. Alexandre Pato’s condition still needs improvement while Zouma and Falcao are long-term absentees.

Meanwhile, Manchester City only have 13 fit first-team players to pick from according to Pellegrini. Man City is yet to play their first leg in the Champions League next Wednesday and will take part in the League Cup final on a week Sunday. Dynamo Kiev comes first, Liverpool is next and so are the priorities set.

Pellegrini is planning to rest some of his key first-team players and is reported to give minutes of play to youngsters Celina, Humphreys and Angelino.

Mangala, Sagna (D), Delph, Nasri (M), De Bruyne (F), Boni (S) are all sidelined.

This might not be as easy as it looks to bookmakers who give Chelsea as a very clear favorite. Man City is… Man City, they are unbeaten against Chelsea in the last 4 (2-2-0) and could manage a draw in Stamford Bridge.
