How do you think the City game will go?

[Hibsclaret]

Brentford beat them and I reckon we are at least at that sort of level. Definitely a chance of an upset.

[jedi_master]

You just never, ever know do you?

[Bin Ont Turf]

I've no doubt we'll cause a few problems for them attacking wise, it's just at the back where we'll be found wanting.

We have great defenders, but not for coping at that level just yet.

[Hibsclaret]

Tbh they could’ve had a much easier draw than to play a team that has lost 3 times in forty odd games this season. As hard as the draw is for us it is also difficult to beat this Burnley side. We also got a similar result to them in the games against both United and Bournemouth this season to boot.

I fancy a sneaky draw and to go through on pens, hopefully.

Come on guys think positive it's a one off game keep it 0-0 for first 20 minutes and who knows you might be able to DARE TO DREAM again. UTC

I haven't read through the rest of the thread so my points might have been made, buy football is settled by taking your chances.
We could have gotten something at Man U if Barnes wasn't wasteful.

But like most teams we struggled with raw pace.

Might be a strange tactical game as both managers know what the other team will do before they do it, unless Pep does something leftfield that he's sometimes known for.

[Cooclaret]

Currently we’re the BTEC Man City and I expect the game to go that way.

3/4-0 city

It’s the FA Cup and no one can be more negative than me about results but I think this will be close akin to our SF against Spurs in 2009
I think this time we might edge it and maybe go all the way

[LoveCurryPies]

We have nothing to lose but I predict a surprise Burnley win! Play with spirit and passion and anything is possible.

[Clarets4me]

6-5 City (similar to Grimsby a few years ago)

You know time is beginning to pass quickly when " a few years ago " was actually over 20 years ago ..... 29th October 2002 !!

[claptrappers_union]

Use the day to come together and celebrate whats been achieved so far this season. Ignore what happens on the field.

[Hurstwood_Claret]

5-0 Win for us

Wembley here we come!!

My only fear is that Pep will want to put a marker down against the man being widely touted to be his successor. He will go all out.

That said, it’s a cup game, give it our all, take any chances we get and who knows.

One small crumb is that they have a European game midweek. Offer him the Champions League or Cup and you'd think (hope!) he'll prioritise the European game. Of course they'll still put out a strong side just maybe not as strong as possible.

[RVclaret]

Like at United, I’ll be happy to see us take the game to them and give it a go. With better finishing that night we’d have scored a couple. Quite a few teams have taken them the distance at the Etihad this season and had some luck. We’re going into it full of confidence with just 3 defeats all season. Shame Brownhill isn’t fit as we will probably miss his energy in this one. But who knows, I think we’ll score at least 1 but probably will need quite a bit of luck to win the game.

[MrTopTier]

We will win on Penalties.

City generally go pretty strong in the cup games, and with the international break straight after the cup game he doesn't really need to rest anyone.

[tiger76]

The first game in a while where we haven't been favourites, let's just let the lads enjoy the occasion and who knows on the day.
