Where can I watch Cheltenham Town v City?

FORM GUIDE

Pep Guardiola’s side head into the game on the back of a superb run of form that has seen City go unbeaten in our last 16 games in all competitions and win our last nine games in a row.

Our last outing on Wednesday night saw us secure a crucial 2-0 win against Aston Villa at the Etihad which helped move us up into top briefly for the first time this season.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE OFFICIAL MAN CITY PODCAST

We booked our place in the fourth round with a 3-0 win over Birmingham in the round three.

Cheltenham currently sit in sixth position in the League Two table after amassing 37 points from their first 23 games.

Town booked their place in the fourth round thanks a 2-1 win over Mansfield Town (after extra time) in their third round encounter earlier this month.

They drew 1-1 at home to Newport County in midweek during their latest League Two fixture.

LAST MEETING

This will be the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides.
