What They're Saying

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Gazette Live): "They [Middlesbrough] are in a very good position in the Championship, they have a good manager in [Aitor] Karanka who I know and I'll be sure if we don't play with 100 percent intensity and concentration, we will have problems to qualify for the next stage of the FA Cup. We need to play a very good game against a good team. Maybe [Middlesbrough] are not in the Premier League, but they are fighting to be promoted."

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka (via Gazette Live): "Yanic [Wildschut] is close to the first team, but we have 22, 23 players and I am only playing 15 or 16 players at the moment. I am not disappointed with him. He is a young player, and I know how difficult it can be to settle here, and I am sure that he will have a very good future."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: James Milner remains an unheralded but integral part of Man City's campaign. In 19 league appearances, the 29-year-old has five assists and an average of 1.9 tackles.

Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov; Lampard, Evans; Milner, Celina, Barker; Aguero

Middlesbrough's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Konstantop; Friend, Ayala, Gibson, Kalas; Clayton, Leadbitter, Tomlin, Bamford; Reach, Kike
