Preview: Leyton Orient Vs Man City
An interesting matchup in the FA Cup
Leyton Orient are all set to lock horns with Manchester City in the FA Cup 2024-25 fourth-round matchup. Leyton Orient stole a narrow win over Derby County in the third round. The O’s defeated them on penalties and sealed their spot in the fourth round. Man City on the other hand dominated Salford City in the previous round which helped them get through to them.
Leyton Orient will be under some pressure as they will be facing the Premier League giants. Although Pep Guardiola’s men have not delivered consistent performances this season their lineup is scary for their opponents. The hosts will have to defend well by not giving much space to Man City’s attack. This FA Cup fourth-round clash looks like a one-sided clash but Leyton Orient will surely fight hard.
Manchester City are not having the best of the seasons. Even if they try to make a comeback it does not last long than a couple of games. The Cityzens will be slightly low on the confidence but Pep Guardiola will surely come up with something extraordinary to get Man City back on the winning track. The Premier League defending champions will be coming in an away game and might have a chance to get a win.

About FA Cup:
History
The Football Association Challenge Cup, more commonly known as the FA Cup, is an annual knockout football competition in domestic English football. First played during the 1871–72 season, it is the oldest national football competition in the world.[1] It is organised by and named after The Football Association (The FA). A concurrent Women's FA Cup has been held since 1970.
The competition is open to all eligible clubs down to level 9 of the English football league system, with level 10 clubs acting as stand-ins in the event of non-entries from above.[2] A record 763 clubs competed in 2011–12. The tournament consists of 12 randomly drawn rounds followed by the semi-finals and the final. Entrants are not seeded, although a system of byes based on league level ensures higher ranked teams enter in later rounds – the minimum number of games needed to win, depending on which round a team enters the competition, ranges from six to fourteen.
The first six rounds are the Qualifying Competition, and are contested by clubs in the National League System, levels 5 to 10 of the English football system, more commonly called non-League. 32 of these teams progress to the first round of the Competition Proper, meeting the first of the 48 professional teams from Leagues One and Two. The last entrants are the 20 Premier League and 24 Championship clubs, into the draw for the third round proper.[2] In the modern era, only one non-League team has ever reached the quarter-finals, and teams below Level 2 have never reached the final.[note 1] As a result, significant focus is given to the smaller teams who progress furthest, especially if they achieve an unlikely "giant-killing" victory.
Winners receive the FA Cup trophy, of which there have been two designs and five actual cups; the latest is a 2014 replica of the second design, introduced in 1911. Winners also qualify for the UEFA Europa League and a place in the upcoming FA Community Shield. Arsenal are the most successful club with fourteen titles, most recently in 2020, and their former manager Arsène Wenger is the competition's most successful, having won seven finals with the team. Manchester United are the current holders, having defeated local rivals Manchester City 2–1 in the 2024 final.
