Wigan – Manchester City – The last encounter of the eighth final of the FA Cup brings us a clash of two unequal rivals, as home Wigan is currently competing only in the third ranking of English football, while the guests from Manchester are only one step away from winning a new title in the Premiership. However, in 2013 and 2014, Wigan managed to overcome “citizens” in the FA Cup, who were better in the League Cup between the two matches.

But in the meantime, the difference in the quality of these two teams has increased significantly in favor of the “citizens”, so they are quite aware of the difficulty of the task that they expect in this match in the Wigan camp. However, they also had teams from the Premier League in the previous two rounds of the FA Cup, but they were better at home than Bournemouth and West Ham, so Wigan fans believe that their pets can now afford decent resistance to the Premiership leader.
This is more because the visiting coach of Guardiola is expected to send a combined setup to the field, unlike his coach, Cooka, who simply has no choice but to start this match with his striking set. Otherwise, Wigan is currently ranked second in the League One, with just one point less than the leading Shrewsbury, so they are on a good way to express themselves back into the Championship. Let’s just say that the injuries are currently out of the machine only by Morgan and the MacDonald midfielder.
Probable initial composition of Wigana: Walton – Burne, Dunkley, Burn, Elder – Morsy, Power – Jacobs, Powell, Massey – Grigg
Manchester City
Of course, it is also unnecessary to say that Premier League leaders and, probably, the new English champions are valid for the absolute favorites in this match of the eighth FA Cup final, but we all know that this cup of draw will often bring great surprises, especially if the objectively higher quality team is not set to the maximum seriously. However, Guardiola’s favorites routinely played a deal against Burnley and Cardiff in the previous two rounds of the FA Cup, while they recently passed in the big Cup final.
In addition, “citizens” have practically already secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last week after they celebrated in the first match of the eighth finals with a 4: 0 away in the Swiss Basel. As far as the Premier League is concerned, there are only a few more rounds away from the mathematical confirmation that “citizens” are the new champions of England, as they currently have 16 points more than the other Manchester United. Let’s say that for injury, this time, the defender Mendy, the midfielder Toure and the attacker Jesus should be absent.
City win @ 1.23
