Best Tip: Man City to win

A FA Cup victory in front of their own fans for Josep Guardiola i Sala's Man City team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Man City win is our recommendation, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
