Manchester City will play against League One Leyton Orient in the fourth round of the FA Cup after their 6-5 win in a penalty shootout against Championship side Derby County, with the match ending 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra time. Leyton Orient was scheduled to host Derby County on Saturday evening. However, during lunchtime, the game was delayed due to a frozen pitch at Brisbane Road, rendering the surface unplayable. In an unusual move, the match was rescheduled for this evening to prevent the competition’s schedule from being disrupted by further postponements. On Sunday, City were scheduled to play Orient away, requiring them to travel to Brisbane Road on the weekend of February 6. This matchup in the fourth round of the FA Cup adds to a tough start to February for the Blues, which may determine their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. City will first play against Arsenal on Sunday, February 2, before taking on their League One rivals in the FA Cup fourth round. Then, on Saturday, February 15, City will host Newcastle United, who are performing well under Eddie Howe, before facing Premier League leaders Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium the following Sunday. The specific date and start time for the FA Cup match will be revealed soon. Man City has a challenging set of ten upcoming matches. Ipswich Town (Away) – January 19. PSG (A) – January 22nd. Chelsea (Home) – January 25.
