Andy's Tuesday tips - Man City to progress

Financially, it's not the worst thing in the world for a team to secure an FA Cup replay away to a big Premier League team. But if you're looking to stay in the competition, the first game at home is really your best opportunity to win the match.

It's not often you see the lower league side go away in the replay and actually knock out the big gun and I fear the worst for Leicester at Eastlands.

In fairness, even though Manchester City went behind early on, they looked in control for most of the match so it's not like Leicester made a mess of closing the deal.

In front of their own fans with a pretty strong side out though, I can't see anything other than a straight-forward win for the home side.

Roberto Mancini may decide he doesn't need to play the likes of Carlos Tevez or Yaya Toure in a match like this but with the squad they have, whoever deputises for them will be an international player with plenty of class and Leicester will have a long night ahead of them.
