Manchester City can meet the leader of the Premier League in the next stage of the competition

Without Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan in the starting XI, the formation prepared by Pep Guardiola settled the controversy from the first half.

“Townsmen” scored 4 times in the goal, which was defended by Kepa.

First, Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring with a perfect free-kick (23 minutes), while Julián Alvarez (30 minutes) and Phil Foden (38 minutes) also scored before the break.

Mahrez had the last word, scoring a double with a shot from 11 meters (min. 85).

The reigning champions could face the Premier League leaders in the next round of the competition if Arsenal get past Oxford United. The match is scheduled for January 9 at 10:00 p.m.
