Why Bristol City Can Beat Man City
The Robins are in the midst of a magnificent football display but they are still in a mediocre placement in the Championship. Since their defeat to West Bromwich Albion, Bristol City has pushed for 12 straight unbeaten games in all contests. However, they are still 13th in the Championship, trailing Millwall and Luton, who occupy the last two promotion playoff spots, by nine points.
Nigel Pearson's squad has scored 43 goals, 31 of which coming from assists, while conceding 41 as well. They have an amazing 11-11-11 record. They pose a 48% ball possession rate, tally 9.7 shots, and record 5.2 corner kicks per game.
Bristol is yet to be beaten this year. The Cider Army has acquired wins in the FA Cup over West Brom and Swansea. Bristol posts the 11th-best home record in the Championship. They have 26 points in 18 games played on familiar territory. For the entire campaign, Nahki Wells leads the team with 11 goals, and he is also the joint leader in assists with four together with Cameron Pring, Alex Scott, and Andreas Weimann. Antoine Semenyo and Tommy Conway are second in the team for goal contributions with nine.
Pearson will still not employ Tomas Kalas, Andreas Weimann, Robert Atkinson, Kane Wilson, Tommy Conway, and Kal Naismith as they are still dealing with injury issues. Matty James, Alex Scott, and Cameron Pring are in danger four picking up numerous yellow cards; an additional one will suspend them in the next games. Wells and Scott will be joined by Sam Bell and Mark Sykes in the front. James and Joe Williams will see time as starting midfielders.

Manchester City is one of the favorite teams to win this FA Cup trophy. They have won against London-based clubs Chelsea and Arsenal in the previous rounds. Now, they hope to crush the hopes of the Championship team hosts.
In the Prem, City owns 55 points in 25 games played, with 17 wins, four draws, and four losses with a +39 goal differential.

Phil Foden has 12 goal contributions for the Blues.
Final Bristol City-Man City Prediction & Pick
Bristol will have to be firing in all cylinders to pull an upset against the Premier League champions. The depth of City's squad will still be on full display, as their second-team members and substitutes will likely use this team to blast against the Championship squad.
