Manchester City and Chelsea are playing live on Saturday in the FA Cup round 5 and the match comes from the Etihad Stadium and is a rematch of the English Premier League match from just a couple weeks ago and this will be live at 12:15 pm ET and streaming online before the other great match on Sunday of Arsenal and Liverpool.
Manchester City comes into the match after having their last fixture postponed for weather against Sunderland and that was set to be a home match and they have been off their game as of late after having the best streak in the EPL for a while. The team has been unbeaten in 12 matches and eight wins in a row and had not lost at home in weeks, but that all ended after the Blues took the match 1-0 in early February and now the two will face off again.
Man City has a nice home schedule coming up with three in a row at the Etihad starting with Chelsea, then the team hosts the first leg of the Champions League against Barcelona in the round of 16. The team will play a return trip at Estadio Camp Nou later next month and after the first match the team gets back into the Premier League schedule and that comes against Stoke City and the Etihad and then the team has the Capital One Cup Finals. Man City plays against Sunderland in the final at Wembley Stadium and this comes in a stretch of four home games in five matches, including the neutral one at Wembley.
After playing the Cap One Cup final the team has a quick turnaround with Aston Villa coming to the Etihad and then the return trip to Barcelona comes next before a road test against Hull City and the team has a huge matchup against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium coming up before one at the Anfield against Liverpool. Chelsea comes into the FA Cup schedule after draw against West Brom and they remain in first place on the English Premier League table and they are one point clear of Arsenal after they were beat last week by Liverpool in tough fashion and now Chelsea has the lead heading into the break before next week for the FA Cup and Capital One Cup as well as the Champions League.
The fifth round match against Chelsea will have Samir Nasri back and this comes after he was out for five weeks since winning over Newcastle back in January and that should be a nice boost for the club on Saturday. The team will be playing over the weekend and in the Champions League without Sergio Aguero and they will be looking forward to getting him back for the second leg and this comes as Manchester City has suffered a power outage after not scoring in the past two games. Chelsea has a tough schedule coming up as well and they play against Man City on the road before a matchup with Everton at Stamford Bridge and that comes before the Champions League against Galatasaray and that will be on the road before hosting the second leg.
