Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester City vs Birmingham City

Manchester City are preparing to face Birmingham City in the FA Cup 3rd round on Sunday, January 10. Ahead of the game, BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. Writing in his column for BBC Sport, Lawrenson said: “Manchester City, who beat United in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final, should be comfortable enough against Birmingham – although Blues boss Aitor Karanka did spring an FA Cup surprise at Etihad Stadium when his Middlesbrough side won there in the fourth round in 2015.” source - TheSportReview / Join us on Telegram
