All odds are provided by our best football betting sites. Odds are subject to change. Leyton Orient vs Manchester City predictions The FA Cup usually ranks third on the big clubs’ list of priorities at the start of a season. Before a ball had been kicked in 2024/25, Manchester City were focused on achieving glory in the Premier League and the Champions League. That will not happen in the top flight, where Pep Guardiola’s side are 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool having played a game more. City are up against it in Europe too. After squeezing through the league phase on matchday eight, City will do battle with Real Madrid in a play-off this month. Even if they were to get through that tie, Guardiola’s team are not as feared on the continent as they once were. The FA Cup, then, represents City’s best chance of a trophy. Arsenal have already been knocked out and one of Aston Villa or Tottenham Hotspur will join them this weekend. Manchester United and Chelsea will both face Premier League opposition in the fourth round. City, meanwhile, have been handed a kind draw against Leyton Orient, who are currently sixth in League One. Guardiola will hope that the club’s recent transfer activity will give his team a gee-up. City spent more than anyone in Europe in the January window, splashing out £180m on Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov and Nico Gonzalez. They definitely needed to do something. Since the beginning of November, City rank 10th in the Premier League. In that time they have collected fewer points than the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace, and have lost more matches than Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion. City have even conceded more goals than Manchester United in the last three months. A 5-1 thrashing by Arsenal last weekend was just the latest piece of evidence to show how far City have fallen. They remain in the race for Champions League qualification, though, and for all their problems few teams would relish facing them in the FA Cup. “Honestly, winning this trophy in 2019 and 2023 were two of the best days I have had as a manager in football,” Guardiola said ahead of last season’s final, which City lost to Manchester United. Guardiola’s desperation to lift the trophy must be even stronger today amid his team’s wider struggles. Leyton Orient vs Manchester City betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.

Omar Marmoush to score any time
Omar Marmoush has gone straight into Guardiola’s first-choice XI, but the Manchester City boss will be tempted to give him a run-out this weekend.
Marmoush is enjoying an excellent season on an individual level. In 26 outings for Eintracht Frankfurt, he scored 20 goals.
Marmoush has yet to open his account for City, though, which is why he could be included in the starting line-up in east London.
The Egypt international will be keen to get off the mark as quickly as possible, not least with that Real Madrid tie looming on the horizon.
Against a League One defence, the 25-year-old can make the net bulge in the FA Cup fourth round.
