The Citizen (Gauteng)

Tshepo’s picks

-

Runaway English Premier League leaders Manchester City will be looking to make progress in the FA Cup when they visit Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium tonight.

With 11 more games to the end of the season, City sit comfortabl­y at the top of the standings with a massive 72 points after 27 games, but now Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to continue with their great season by doing well in the FA Cup.

City have enjoyed a rather fairy-tale league campaign which has seen them losing only one match, recording three draws and getting 23 wins and their run in the Champions League has also been good, having beaten Bassel 4-0 in the first leg of the last-16 clash.

As much as the FA Cup is full of surprises, I don’t see Wigan giving them any trouble, it will be a comfortabl­e victory for City. Pool name – S6 V1 P2 M1: Eintracht Frankfurt v RB Leipig.
