FA Cup Preview: Manchester City - Chelsea Manuel Pellegrini's men were beaten 1-0 by the Blues when they met at the Etihad Stadium on February 3 but come into their FA Cup rematch fresh after a midweek postponement.

Premier League title rivals Manchester City
and Chelsea will resume hostilities in the FA
Cup fifth round on Saturday.
The game marks the second meeting between
the two sides at the Etihad Stadium in the
space of 12 days, with the Blues having come
out on top in the previous clash. Fullback
Branislav Ivanovic scored the winner on Feb.
3 as City's 20-match unbeaten run across all
competitions came to an abrupt halt in a 1-0
win for Jose Mourinho's men.
As well as holding home advantage, however,
City heads into Saturday's encounter fresher
than its opponent after the Premier League
clash with Sunderland was postponed on
Wednesday due to adverse weather conditions.
However, the game denied City the
opportunity to return to winning ways after
Manuel Pellegrini's normally free-scoring
outfit drew blanks in the last two fixtures -
the loss to Chelsea followed by a 0-0 draw at
Norwich City.
Sergio Aguero (hamstring), midfielder
Fernandinho (groin) and center back Matija
Nastasic (knee) are all set to miss out.
Meanwhile, midfield pair Samir Nasri and Javi
Garcia have recently returned to training
following knee injuries but their involvement
looks doubtful.
Chelsea had been riding the crest of a wave as
the club followed its win at City with a 3-0
home triumph over Newcastle. Mourinho's
side suffered a slight setback on Tuesday,
however, when it was held to 1-1 draw at
West Brom, with Victor Anichebe canceling
out Ivanovic's opener.
The Blues remain at the top of the Premier
League table, though City now has a game in
hand and a far superior goal difference.
Chelsea has enjoyed a period of success in the
world's oldest cup competition in recent
times, lifting the trophy on four of the last
seven occasions with the last triumph coming
in 2012 thanks to a 2-1 win over Liverpool in
the final.
Captain John Terry could come back into
contention for Mourinho following a muscular
issue, while Gary Cahill is struggling with a
calf problem.
