We simulated Peterborough vs Man City to get a score prediction for FA Cup fixture

Manchester City continue their FA Cup journey on Tuesday night when they visit Championship side Peterborough in the fifth round.

It was a routine victory in the previous round for City, as they beat Championship leaders Fulham 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium, but this time they face opposition at the other end of the table, with Peterborough struggling after their promotion last season and currently sit rock bottom of the league table.

Pep Guardiola’s side earned a hard-fought 1-0 win in their last outing on Tuesday, beating Everton 1-0 in the Premier League to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points.
