Why West Ham will knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup

Andy Carroll

The 6ft 4in striker has been back in the first team for West Ham over the festive period.

With City expected to rotate their team, will their defence be able to cope with the former England international’s presence.

Guardiola’s defence have struggled this season; having already conceded 34 goals in 28 matches in all competitions.

Carroll has also scored four times against City in his career and if he does feature on Friday evening, he will only be looking to increase his own tally.
