Manchester City vs Rotherham
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Eithad Stadium
Date: Sunday 6 January
Kick-off: 2pm GMT
Manchester City begin their FA Cup campaign against Championship outfit Rotherham on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's side are flying high after their huge win over Liverpool in the Premier League which reduced the gap at the top to just four points.
Given the quick fixture turnaround, changes are very much expected from the City boss.
Team news
City remain without Fabian Delph who is serving the third of his three match suspension.
Oleksandr Zinchenko could return after being taken out of the firing line against Liverpool following his patchy performance against Southampton.
Guardiola resisted the temptation to bring Kevin de Bruyne back in against Jurgen Klopp’s side but Sunday could be the perfect opportunity to give him a run out after his recent muscular injury.
Score prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Rotherham
Even with changes, there is no such thing as a weak Man City side and with spirits high after Thursday's win it should be another very good day at the office for Guardiola.
