FA Cup: "This won't be easy". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Swansea vs Manchester City

Manchester City will face Swansea City in the FA Cup 5th round tomorrow, February 10. Pep Guardiola's side celebrated a 3-1 victory over Cheltenham in the 4th round, while Swansea celebrated a 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Manchester City are in a very strong position at the top of the Premier League - I don't see anyone stopping them from winning the title and I think they will win it by a big margin now. "Pep Guardiola's side are still in all four major competitions this season and they will be trying to win all of them. "This won't be easy - Swansea are doing well at the top of the Championship and I don't think their manager Steve Cooper quite gets the credit he deserves. "Swansea will also feel like they owe Manchester City one after their last meeting, in the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2019, when Guardiola's side came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 thanks to Sergio Aguero's 'offside' winner. "It's a shame for Swansea that there will be no fans there this time, because it is yet another example of where it would have helped the lower division side at home. "Manchester City survived a scare against League Two side Cheltenham in the last round, but I see this as being a more straightforward evening for them."
