Man City preview: Through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup

Pep Guardiola's side slipped behind away at Bournemouth in their FA Cup quarter-final tie but recovered well to win the game and keep their hopes of silverware alive.

Erling Haaland got the visitors back onto level terms early in the second half and the in-form Omar Marmoush scored City's winner in the 63rd minute.

Rodri, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Oscar Bobb have all been ruled out of the Leicester game through injury.

Predicted lineup: Ederson (GK), Dias, Gvardiol, Khusanov, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Kovacic, Silva, Foden, Nunes & Haaland

Leicester preview: The Foxes join the 1001 club

Following their 3-0 defeat at home against Manchester United last time out, Leicester City have now conceded 1,001 goals across their 679 Premier League games, the 12th team to concede that many in the competition, whilst the Foxes have taken the fewest matches amongst those sides to reach that figure.

Issahaku Fatawu won't feature on Wednesday night for the Foxes due to a knee injury and Ricardo Pereira is also a doubt for the game.

Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK), Coady, Faes, Justin, Thomas, Kristiansen, Ndidi, Soumare, El Khannouss, Vardy & Daka

Player to watch: Savinho

Savinho has more assists this season than any other Manchester City player and the Brazilian is our player to watch on Wednesday night.

Savinho, who joined Manchester City this season after impressing at Girona, has provided seven assists in the Premier League alone, more than Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.

Will the Brazilian add more assists against the Foxes?

We're backing the Brazilian international to return to the Manchester City squad for the Leicester game and expect him to be at his creative best against a team with a poor defensive record.
