Mark Lawrenson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Peterborough and Manchester City.
The two sides are set to face each other in the FA Cup fifth round, while ahead of the clash, the BBC pundit has shared his thoughts.
"Manchester City got away with one on Saturday at Goodison Park. I just don't understand how VAR could have taken a look at Rodri's handball and not awarded a penalty to Everton," Lawrenson said about City's latest Premier League game against Everton, via
BBC Sport.
"It's been a tricky few days for Pep Guardiola's side following their defeat by Tottenham, and they have the Manchester derby to come this weekend too, but I think their trip to London Road will be pretty straightforward."
Speaking about the FA Cup rivals, the pundit added:
"Peterborough have just reappointed Grant McCann as manager but he has a lot more to worry about than taking on the Premier League leaders - his side are bottom of the Championship and have taken one point from their past six games
"I'd imagine Guardiola will make quite a few changes to his team, but the players coming in will still be top class. Posh have conceded an average of two goals a game in the league this season, and I don't see them keeping City quiet."
Lawrenson predicts City's victory over Peterborough with a score of
2 - 0.
