Leyton Orient vs Manchester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

An interesting matchup in the FA Cup

Leyton Orient are all set to lock horns with Manchester City in the FA Cup 2024-25 fourth-round matchup. Leyton Orient stole a narrow win over Derby County in the third round. The O’s defeated them on penalties and sealed their spot in the fourth round. Man City on the other hand dominated Salford City in the previous round which helped them get through to them.

Leyton Orient will be under some pressure as they will be facing the Premier League giants. Although Pep Guardiola’s men have not delivered consistent performances this season their lineup is scary for their opponents. The hosts will have to defend well by not giving much space to Man City’s attack. This FA Cup fourth-round clash looks like a one-sided clash but Leyton Orient will surely fight hard.

Manchester City are not having the best of the seasons. Even if they try to make a comeback it does not last long than a couple of games. The Cityzens will be slightly low on the confidence but Pep Guardiola will surely come up with something extraordinary to get Man City back on the winning track. The Premier League defending champions will be coming in an away game and might have a chance to get a win.

Players to Watch

Daniel Agyei (Leyton Orient)

Having scored a couple of goals in two FA Cup matches for Leyton Orient, Daniel Agyei is once again going to play a key role for his side. The English striker will look to find spaces in Man City’s defence. However, it will take the help of his teammates as well so that it can become easier for Daniel Agyei while being in the attacking front.

Erling Haaland (Man City)

Hailing from Norway, Erling Haaland has been an important part of Manchester City’s attacking front. Although he has not been in the best of form for quite a while, Haaland has still managed to score 19 goals in 24 Premier League games for the Cityzens. The Norweigan striker is going to be a big threat to Leyton Orient. With his ability to find spaces in the opponent’s defence, Haaland can lead the Premier League defending champions to another win.
