Cheltenham currently sit in sixth position in the League Two, booked their place in the fourth round thanks to (2:1) win over Mansfield Town after extra time.
Manchester City will be without Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Sergio Aguero and Nathan Ake for the FA Cup trip to Cheltenham today.
Pep Guardiola was likely to rotate anyway, giving minutes to his fringe players and some academy stars (perhaps), however, he is known for going strong in the cups, regardless of the level of their opponents.
"I know the Premier League is the most important competition and the Champions League is the second most important one.
"We have reached four finals in a row in the Carabao Cup and this is because every game is important. We don’t drop any competition.
I do not see reason why City would press to the end and outscore home side, away win is an obvious thing but over score by 20+ shots? Ts too high, no need for such a humiliation.
