? A bit of stats and DigitalAnalytics.
Borrell made it clear in his press conference that the team facing Swindon will be a mix of both senior players and players from our second team (EDS). However, as the outbreak also affects young players, it is not clear who will be available. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few debuts in the FA Cup. Would certainly like to see Kaika (hope he’s not ill), McEtee and Palmer. It will be very interesting to see these loaded lads.
? Meeting stats:
For the 22 games in which these teams have met :
✅ MC: 14
? = : 3

?This will be City’s first appearance in the FA Cup this season. Despite a clearly weakened and broken team, I’m sure our youngsters will want to prove themselves at the base and will be keen to make it to the next round ?
The cup is more important for us now than ever.
It’s not for nothing Pep has always coached players as an interchangeable part of the puzzle where everyone can replace everyone.
? Top scorer Tyreese Simson scored 10 goals
? The clubs last met in the Cup back on January 5, 2002. If 20 years later the match date coincided, you could put a “then – now” headline to the match).
? Of course Swindon are in a better position. All fit, playing at home, and like every small club against us will be giving it 200%.
