Chelsea V Manchester City: FA Cup Preview, Team News And Betting Odds

After battling through the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Porto midweek, Chelsea have an even tougher task when they face Manchester City in the FA Cup tomorrow evening.

Their opponents have had one day less to prepare, but they will be high in confidence, having dispatched Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.

In terms of team news, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has just one injury concern, with Mateo Kovacic having been ruled out of the game at Wembley with a hamstring injury.

Manchester City also have one fitness doubt, with striker Sergio Aguero having not trained in recent days due to some minor muscular problems.

At the bookmakers, City are the strong favourites for the match with Betfair pricing them at 17/20 odds-on to win. A draw after 90 minutes is 13/5 with BetVictor while a victory for Chelsea is currently 19/5 at William Hill.

Predicted Score – 1-1 (Chelsea to win on penalties)
