Manchester City vs Burnley, 5.45pm GMT
Manchester City welcome former captain Vincent Kompany’s Burnley to the Etihad and come into this game on the back of a 7-0 win over Marco Rose’ RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Five goals from Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland and goals from German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Belgian forward Kevin De Bruyne secured the win for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Burnley, on the other hand, beat Hull City 3-1 in the league. A hat-trick from midfielder Nathan Tella sealed the deal for Burnley. Turkish midfielder Ozan Tufan scored the goal for Hull City.
Pep Guardiola has won the FA Cup only once, a low number by his lofty standards.
