Leyton Orient vs Man City live early team news and how to watch FA Cup fourth round tie

Manchester City travel to Leyton Orient this lunchtime as heavy favourites to progress in the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Salford City 8-0 in the third round and now face the third tier side at the Gaughan Group Stadium.

The game is a 12.15pm kick-off and will be shown live on the BBC. Guardiola is expected to rotate his squad, as he did in the last round, which could see starts for a number of fringe players. The likes of James McAtee, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Nico O'Reilly and Divin Mubama all started in the last round.

With City facing Real Madrid in the first round of their Champions League play-off tie next week, Guardiola is unlikely to take any risks with the likes of Ruben Dias, Jeremy Doku and Nathan Ake who are all recovering from injury.

Pep Guardiola said some of his injured Manchester City players could return against Leyton Orient.

City have been short of options for most of the campaign, with at least four players injured for each of the last 30 games and 86 per cent of the team's games all season. Six stars missed the 5-1 mauling at Arsenal, with Ederson joining Oscar Bobb, Rodri, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake and Jeremy Doku on the injury list after the goalkeeper picked up a minor problem.

However, all but Rodri were in training on Thursday as the team began preparations for their FA Cup game at Leyton Orient and Real Madrid to raise hopes that City's injury crisis could be coming to an end. Guardiola did not go into detail about who could come back, but teased that some players could make their return against Leyton Orient.
