Manchester City is going to face Bournemouth in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Bournemouth is not a weak team this season. Also , Bournemouth won the last match against Manchester city by 2-1. So it will be very difficult for city to win against bournemouth. Also , City may face Aston Villa/nottingham Forest or Brighton in the semi-finals or final. It is very difficult for City to win against these teams. If City's performance does not become stable , it is impossible for Manchester City to win the FA Cup title.

We should never underrated these EPL clubs that are actively in the FA Cup. They've dismantled and knocked out elite teams and only Manchester City still exists in the FA Cup competition. The Citizens will be fierce towards oppositions because the maintaining streak winnings, they have to do what they do best. We know about the decline in performance for Manchester City, they've failed in all angles to meet up standards this season, falling off from main peak to becoming some certain unstable elite team where they fight harder to secure three points. Manchester City facing Bournemouth, you consider the odds of the Citizens? Pep Guardiola is finding his peak and he won't afford to lose again to the Cherries for the second time, absolutely not in the FA Cup that means something for them.

Bournemouth did show quite good performance this season but we also have to see the overall strength of Bournemouth and Manchester City without looking at the problems they face and it cannot be denied that Manchester City is slightly better and a big motivation for them because only the FA Cup is possible for Manchester City to win this season so that in the FA Cup quarter-final match they have much greater motivation especially with the elimination of several strong Premier League teams in the FA competition this season making Manchester City's path a little easier and now they are also very favored to win the title.
