Manchester City will be going in search of a second successive win over Chelsea in the space of just four days when the two sides meet in the third round of the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.
City, who last won the FA Cup back in 2019, got the better of Graham Potter's side in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, winning 1-0. Riyad Mahrez stepped off the bench to tap in the only goal of the game, connecting with fellow substitute Jack Grealish's low cross.
It was just the result that City were in need of after being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Everton in their final outing of 2022. Victory over the Londoners moved them back to within five points of current Premier League table-toppers Arsenal, meaning they will head into Sunday's clash with the eight-time FA Cup winners on a high.
