Manchester city have done a great job to reach the round of 16 of the FA Cup and they have a great chance to make it through to the quarter-finals. They will be hosted by League Two side Newport County on Saturday, a team that has had all sorts of struggles and are severely weaker than Manchester City.

Newport County have not been in very good form lately, winning just two of their last six matches in all competitions (2-2-2). They should be pretty safe in terms of relegation fears but their season can be saved with a good run in the FA Cup. They managed to reach all the way to the round of 16 after eliminated much bigger names, like Premier League side Leicester and Championship side Middlesbrough in the previous round.
Manchester City thrashed Chelsea by a huge 0-6 at home over the weekend, in what was one of their best matches of the season. Manchester City have been in sensational form lately, winning 11 of their last 12 matches in all competitions. They are currently sitting at the top of the Premier League with 65 points, just as many as Liverpool below them who also have a match in hand. Manchester City have been really tough to beat on the road, and are coming into this match having won four of their last five matches in all competitions.

Newport County know that they will have to play massive defense on this match in order to have some very slim chances to qualify. They will surely play a very physical match in order to keep their opponents at bay, and there is a very good chance we will not see many goals here.
