Manchester City face Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium Saturday, March 11. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Manchester City and Middlesbrough square off in the FA Cup quarterfinals Saturday, March 11. The match pits two teams in opposite form. City have won seven out of their last eight games in all competitions. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have lost two in a row.
As City try to break down Middlesbrough’s tough defensive core, look for Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane to be key parts of the scheme. City will need speed on the wings to stretch Middlesbrough defenders Fabio and George Friend out wide. In doing so the Citizens should be able to capitalize on Sergio Aguero’s fantastic form. The Argentinian has played his usual poacher’s style of soccer in his last three games in all competitions, slotting five goals for the Citizens.

Pay attention to who Pep sends out in the midfield. City have a plethora of attacking midfielders, and a lack of defensive midfielders. Pep will have to be creative.
