Chelsea take on Manchester City in the FA Cup this weekend and both teams will be looking to advance to the next round of the competition.

For Chelsea, this could be their best chance of winning something this season. As for Manchester City, the Premier League giants are still in the title race and are in the finals of the Capital One Cup.

Guus Hiddink won the FA Cup during his first spell in charge of Chelsea and the Dutchman will be looking to replicate that feat once again. The Blues have had a terrible season in the Premier League and their only chance of playing in Europe next season is winning the FA Cup or the Champions League.

Manchester City are plagued with injuries at the moment and could be forced to play their younger players. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can take advantage of that and progress onto the next stage of the FA Cup.
