Prediction: 1-4
Man City
David faces Goliath at Brisbane Road as Leyton Orient and Manchester City go head to head in the FA Cup last 32. The O’s are eager to claim a major scalp in round 4, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash. Wales defender Thomas James is pushing for a start following his fine performance in a 1-0 loss to Stockport County, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Citizens, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 5-1 loss to Arsenal and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath at Brisbane Road and we predict that Erling Haaland and Co. are going to prove their worth on the field. All Kevin De Bruyne, James McAtee, Ilkay Gundogan, and Jack Grealish should be recalled to the starting XI as well as January signing Abdukodir Khusanov.

Upon his return, he immediately joined Watford on a season-long loan where his displays earned him the Watford's young player of the season award. Another successful loan spell at Bournemouth succeeded his time at Watford before Chelsea recalled him in January 2017.

On the International stage, Ake has represented the Netherlands at every youth level and has even captained the under-17 and under-19 sides.
