Seeking to swiftly brush aside their humbling Premier League defeat at Arsenal, Manchester City travel to Brisbane Road to face League One playoff hopefuls Leyton Orient in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The two teams meet for the first time since playing out a 2-2 draw in the second tier back in May 1966 when the Citizens were promoted as champions and the O’s were relegated after finishing rock bottom. After accumulating 13 points from a run of five Premier League games (W4 D1), Man City’s mini revival was ended in emphatic fashion by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who secured a thumping 5-1 victory over the reigning champions at the Emirates.

Erling Haaland’s second-half equaliser was his 250th career goal after 313 games – reaching that impressive landmark quicker than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to name just a few – but as soon as Manchester City restored parity, they lost their way and Arsenal scored a further four goals to condemn Pep Guardiola’s men to their seventh league loss of the campaign.

Guardiola admitted post-match that he ‘regretted’ the way his Manchester City side finished the contest in North London and has seen his team slip to fifth in the Premier League table, nine points behind Arsenal in second, but only two behind fourth-placed Chelsea with 14 league games still remaining.

Manchester City will now shift their focus to two different competitions, with an important Champions League playoff first leg at home to Real Madrid to follow this weekend’s FA Cup clash with Leyton Orient – City’s most favourable-looking fixture, on paper, over the next couple of months with encounters against Newcastle, Liverpool, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Brighton all on the horizon.

Manchester City have won their last 17 FA Cup matches against lower-league opposition by an aggregate score of 67-8 – the longest such run by any team in the competition’s history – including their 8-0 demolition of Salford City in the third round. They have also lost only two of their previous 16 meetings with Orient, so there is reason for Guardiola and co to be confident of success.

Leyton Orient’s impressive 11-game unbeaten run in League One was brought to an end by Stockport County last weekend, as they suffered a slender 1-0 home defeat, just five days after thrashing Exeter City by a 6-2 scoreline. Despite dominating proceedings in possession, the O’s failed to register any of their eight shots on target and a 14th-minute strike from Stockport’s Kyle Wooton ultimately condemned them to their second home defeat in three matches, having previously lost 1-0 to Stevenage in the EFL Trophy.
