The FA cup is ongoing and teams are battling for effectively the last trophy which is being present. As teams stationed themselves for battle, all eyes would no doubt on the popular teams in the country. On top of that list is no doubt Manchester City. They would be questions asked when they entertain Burnley at home.
Manchester City is a club which needs to keep winning. There is no doubt that they have achieved a lot this season. They have managed to close the gap with Liverpool to four points and they seem ready to push the title race down to the final day in the league. They are also in the finals of the Carabao cup. Thus, they would no doubt be pleased with their achievements in English this year. They would want to transfer that good display to the FA Cup. This competition is said to provide magical moments and they would be out to ensure that there are no mistakes when they meet with Burnley.
Burnley is a team on a mission. They are set to stay in the premier league as recent amazing results have lifted them out of the clutches of the relegation zone. They sit 16th in the premier league and would be extremely confident of their ability to keep this run going. However, in the FA Cup, they would be coming face to face with the champions of England. This would be no easy game for them. A victory here would not only take them through to the next stage but would give them the needed morale booster going back to the league. The truth is that they have nothing to lose. They would definitely have a go when they visit the Etihad Stadium. It is set to be a wonderful game of football.
When it comes to the form of both teams, the gap is not as large as you would expect it to be. There is no doubt that Manchester City is on a roll. They have won the last six games in all competitions and even in the league. This included winning the top team Liverpool in the league. At this point, Manchester City looks invincible in the league and beyond. They would be itching to have a go at this Burnley team in the FA Cup. However, it is very likely that there would be some sort of rotation when they meet in the FA Cup this weekend.
Burnley form is impressive, to say the least. Burnley has won the last four matches out of their last six. Their remaining matches have ended in a draw and a loss. In fact, the last time Burnley suffered a loss was five matches ago when they lost heavily to Everton in the league. They would no doubt hope to continue their unbeaten run when they meet the champions of England.
The FA cup is a cup full of magic. We can expect to see some more when these two teams clash.
