The second time in a week, Manchester City will play Chelsea. This match is an FA Cup third-round match that is taking place at the Etihad. The Premier League and the EFL Cup may have been dominated by the home team in recent years, but the FA Cup has not. They have only had one victory since 1969, winning the cup twice, in 2011 and 2019.
In five of the last six seasons, City has advanced to the semifinals, and they have not lost in the third round since 2012. Since the start of the English season, they have won three and drawn one of their four meetings against Everton at home.
Chelsea has won the FA Cup far more recently than their rival. Londoners have won the trophy five times in the past century and have advanced to the final three times. Despite the fact that they haven’t lost in the third round since 1998, this is the worst draw they could have received.

Due to their defeat on Thursday, they are now in 10th position in the Premier League, making it considerably more challenging for them to get to the Champions League the following year.
In their last six competitive games, Chelsea has only managed to win once, drawing at relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest before falling to City.
KICK-OFF TIME:
The Chelsea vs. Manchester City game will start at 5:30 PM Nigerian time on Sunday.
