A struggling Chelsea will be hoping for better Taraftarium24 luck in the FA Cup when they take on Manchester City in the third round at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Graham Potter's side lost to City 0-1 in their previous outing in the Premier League and the Blues have consistently failed to deliver throughout the season. They have managed to win just once in their last seven matches in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola's team has managed to win three out of the four games they have played so far since football resumed post the World Cup. They have defeated Chelsea twice already this season, once in the Carabao Cup and in their last league outing and will be confident of making it three in a row against Potter's Blues.
