Manchester City take on League One outfit Leyton Orient hoping to avoid a massive giant-killing in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday afternoon. Pep Guardiola's side have already faced lower league opposition in the competition this season as they trashed Salford City 8-0 in round three.

Meanwhile, the hosts have already caused one shock in the FA Cup by beating Championship side Derby County on penalties. Though, very few are predicting Orient to overcome City even if the reigning Premier League champions were hammered 5-1 by Arsenal on their most recent trip to London.

City could hand a debut to deadline day signing Nico Gonzalez, whilst central defender Vitor Reis is also pushing to make his first appearance for the club following his move in the January transfer window. Richie Wellens has reported no fresh injuries, so Orient will be at full strength for the huge cup tie.

Guardiola will address the media on Friday to preview the game. You can follow this blog for all the latest team news and build-up ahead of kick-off on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City have included Rodri in their Champions League squad for the knockout phase, raising hopes he will return from a serious knee injury before the end of the season.

Clubs competing in UEFA competitions had until midnight on Thursday to make up to three changes to their squads.

New signings Nico Gonzalez — who can stand in for Rodri — forward Omar Marmoush, and defender Abdukodir Khusanov were added but teenage defender Vitor Reis missed out.

Rodri has set a target of about April - "six to seven months" after tearing the ACL in his right knee against Arsenal in September - to return to play. The Champions League quarter-finals start April 8.

Man City face Real Madrid in a two-leg knockout playoff, next Tuesday and on Februray 19. The winner will play either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16.
