Man City head to Cheltenham seeking to avoid an FA Cup shock in the fourth round this weekend
Manchester City will arrive at Whaddon Road on Saturday firm favourites to see off League Two side Cheltenham and glide into the FA Cup fifth round.
However, manager Pep Guardiola will be wary of avoiding an upset in one of the most uneven FA Cup fixtures of the weekend.
There are 71 places between City and their hosts Cheltenham in the English football ladder – and the visitors have their eyes on a third FA Cup trophy win in a decade.
City head into this tie having just played Aston Villa in a rescheduled Premier League game and Guardiola will have half an eye on upcoming fixtures with West Brom, Sheffield United, Burnley and Liverpool.
As for Cheltenham, manager Michael Duff has his men on a worrying run of form that has seen them drop away from the League Two automatic promotion places.

Our prediction: Cheltenham v Man City
Cheltenham come into this tie having won just one of their last nine fixtures – that being their 2-1 victory over Mansfield that earned them a place in the FA Cup third round.
And while boss Hussey will be hopeful his men can perform well against a City side stocked with talent, in reality Guardiola’s men should have no problem winning here, just as they put three past Championship side Birmingham in the previous round.
City will have plenty of young blood in the XI with Zack Steffen, Liam Delap and Felix Nmecha potentially starting. But the boss will also likely select from the likes of Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva to steady the ship here.
Our prediction: Cheltenham 0-5 Man City (12/1 at bet365)
