Nothing But a Convincing Man City Win Expected Against Bristol

Bristol City will open their doors at Ashton Gate to the favourites to win the FA Cup Manchester City, as the Citizens head into this one after a fantastic result in the Premier League and eagerness to get another trophy hunt underway.

Across the board, it’s been quite a tough season for the usual serial winners of everything in England. City are struggling in the Champions League and have to deal with a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig when the Bundesliga side head to the Etihad in a few weeks.

What’s more, City have also witnessed their rivals Manchester United pick up the first domestic trophy of the season last weekend.

Finally, City are also struggling in the Premier League and still sit behind Arsenal by two points in the table with the Gunners having a game in hand to play still.

Pep Guardiola’s men have only lost four times in the Premier League this season and remain unbeaten in Europe, which means these four defeats plus a loss in the EFL Cup is all they have to deal with so far in 2022/23.

Last time out, Guardiola's men smashed Bournemouth 4-1. Julian Alvarez scored one and almost got another, until it was revealed to be an own goal from the Cherries.

Phil Foden also scored that day, as Erling Haaland made it 27 Premier League goals in just 25 games, with the Norwegian striker now Manchester City's top scorer in a single Premier League season, as he has already surpassed Sergio Aguero's best-ever goalscoring campaign.

It has now been five games since the club's loss to Tottenham Hotspur at home, although they've only managed to beat Arsenal, Aston Villa and Bournemouth in this time with a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest and Leipzig also coming in for the champions of England.

Nevertheless, they remain firm favourites to win here and lift the FA Cup at the end of the campaign.

As for Bristol, they edged past Hull City at Ashton Gate last Saturday, while also drawing with Sunderland and Wigan Athletic 1-1 each in the past two weeks.

Nigel Pearson's men are up into 13th after a recent unbeaten run of form that also saw them beat Norwich City 1-0.

Forebet predicts a fairly convincing win for City and one that could see a bunch of goals. Forebet predicts an away win and over 2.5 goals.
