SOUTHAMPTON
Southampton’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace to qualify for the fourth round of the FA Cup was a huge welcome relief. The club had come from losing 3 straight Premier League games and the cup tie provided a good opportunity to refresh their performance. Nevertheless, they face the current Premier League holders in this cup tie.
Coach Nathan Jones will hope to see more of the same fighting spirit that saw them fight from a goal down to win in the end. James Ward-Prose got the equalizer with one of his trademark stunning freekicks before Adam Armstrong capitalized on the Palace goalkeeper’s error to notch the winner.
MANCHESTER CITY
What was expected to be a tough, balanced encounter was made to look easy by Manchester City as the walloped Chelsea 4-0 in the FA Cup 3rd round. The Citizens were 3 goals up before halftime and never looked threatened at all throughout the game. It was the second time they beating Chelsea in a span of 4 days after a 1-0 victory in the league earlier.
Pep Guardiola had the luxury of resting regular big starters like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Ilkay Gundogan, and John Stones in their last game against Chelsea, but they still had enough quality to win the game easily. Their current record reads 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 10 games and are unbeaten in the last 6 games (Won 5, drawn 1).
