After lifting the Carabao Cup at the weekend, Manchester City will turn their attention to more domestic silverware when they travel to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday in Wednesday’s FA Cup clash.
The Citizens are the holders after beating Watford 6-0 in last season’s final and have only lost one of their last 21 domestic cup matches.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Manchester City team news
Moses Odubajo, Adam Reach and Massimo Luongo are all still on the sidelines due to injury for the home side.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Manchester City preview
Although Pep Guardiola does tend to rotate his squad for the cups, the strength in depth at his disposal means he can always field a star-studded line-up.
The same can probably not be said of his opposite number, although he has reached this stage of the competition despite resting a number of key players in both rounds so far.
However, it is hard to see that run continuing for the Owls, who have won just one of their last eight fixtures and conceded three goals in three of the most recent four.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Manchester City predictions
Indeed, odds of 1.80 seem too good to pass up on Manchester City also putting at least three goals past an out-of-sorts Wednesday.
