Manchester City face Premier League rivals Newcastle United on Saturday in the FA Cup quarter-final.

City managed to beat Luton, Tottenham and Huddersfield to get to the quarter-final, while the Magpies won against Blackburn, Fulham and Sunderland

Chris Sutton’s prediction for the match is a 3-1 win to Manchester City. You will get odds around 8.50 on that betting tips if you are into football betting.

“Liverpool gave Manchester City a bit of a going over at times in the second half at Anfield last weekend – but I just don’t see Newcastle doing the same to them at the Etihad,” BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton said.

“Pep Guardiola always goes strong in the FA Cup and, even with Kevin de Bruyne out injured, City will be hard to stop. I am expecting to see Erling Haaland back on the scoresheet after he bagged five against Luton in the last round.

“City are my tip to go and win the FA Cup again this year. They won’t do another Treble though.”
