Manchester City welcome Chelsea to the Etihad on Sunday in the FA Cup, hosting for the second time so far this season after their Carabao Cup clash. City beat the London side to progress to the quarter final.

The blues returned from Stamford Bridge this week after their Premier League fixture, securing all three points. Can we beat them tomorrow for the third time this season?

In a peculiar Pep formation on Thursday, one that lasted only until half time when the boss gave up on the idea and made some early changes, it was the introduction of Lewis, Grealish and Mahrez that changed the game.

The only goal came from a lovely Grealish-Mahrez link up, which was fitting after all the criticism the pair have received.

The line-up saw the return of Foden, Cancelo and Walker, much to the delight of fans. However, they failed to impress.

Does Pep have a line-up headache?
