Today, the 4th round of the FA Cup continues - it started yesterday, now it's time for the "next series". This round is officially scheduled to be held on February 14.
The greatest interest, of course, is around Manchester City, where our compatriot Abdukadir Khusanov plays. The "City" will host Salford City today. The match will start at 15:00 (GMT) London time - this is exactly 20:00 Tashkent time.
The most anticipated feature of the fans is this: Khusanov is close to the starting lineup today. Of course, only the coach decides the lineup until the end, but such games are usually the “current chance” for rotation, confidence in the youth and self-promotion. In short, if Khusanov drops out of the starting lineup, it will be another strong “signature” for his place.
In addition, in the previous round against Exeter City, City scored 10 times in a row and won 10:1. This result perfectly explains the spirit of the cup: one moment you think “everything is under control”, and then the balls rain down.
In today's match, the scenario is also clear: Manchester City is the favorite, but in the cup, it is always dangerous to say that it is an “easy opponent”. Therefore, if the team scores an early goal and takes control of the game, it will quickly open the way to the next round. "Salford" is a lower league team, but they don't go out there thinking "I'm going to ruin their image" but "I'm going to make a sensation" - that's the spirit of the cup.
