They've already faced off against each other once this week - and with Manchester City having beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, it would be tough to look past the Blues to lose again as they travel to the Etihad Stadium for this third round FA Cup tie.
Strictly speaking, Chelsea are a very good FA Cup outfit. In the last 26 years, they've won the trophy seven times, including four a six year-period towards the end of the 2000's. Incredibly, they have lost the last three FA Cup finals - in 2020 to Arsenal, in 2021 to Leicester and in last year's final to Liverpool on penalties.
They'll be looking to banish that ghost against Pep Guardiola's side, who for all of their dominance in the Premier League and Carabao Cup, haven't quite managed to master the FA Cup just yet with only one win in his time in the north west as a result of three consecutive semi-final losses. Manchester Evening News brings you the lowdown on where you can watch the game in the USA.
