A place in the FA Cup quarter-finals will be Manchester City’s reward if they can overcome Championship strugglers Peterborough later today.
While Guardiola has won the world’s oldest cup competition during his time at City, the FA Cup is the only trophy he’s not developed a strange hold over during his time in England.
Surely keen to add yet more honours to his managerial CV in England, a trip to a Peterborough side sitting bottom of the second tier is perhaps the most favourable fixture Guardiola could have asked for.
