MATCH PREVIEW | LEYTON ORIENT V CITY
In our first meeting with the east London outfit since 1966, City’s fight in the prestigious competition continues with our fourth round trip to Leyton Orient.
It’s our first of seven fixtures in February with City also set for our two legs against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League mixed with difficult Premier League matches as we continue our fight in the English top-flight.
For the hosts, Leyton Orient will be looking to return to winning ways following their defeat to fellow Manchester side Stockport County.
Richie Wellens’ side have had a decent 2024/25 season so far and find themselves in sixth in the third tier.
Ahead of the game, our boss took questions from assembled media at the City Football Academy.
In the open section, he answered questions on our new signing Nico, the threats this weekend’s opposition may pose and who may make his XI for this game.
