Sat Jan 11 17:10:00 UTC 2025: **Manchester City Aims for Three-Game Winning Streak Against Salford City**

**Bengaluru, Jan 10, 2025** – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is targeting a crucial third consecutive victory on Saturday, as his team faces Salford City in the FA Cup. City’s recent form has been inconsistent, following a dramatic slump that saw them win only once in thirteen matches across all competitions. While three wins in a row would be a typical achievement for the powerhouse club, this victory would be significant as it comes after a period of poor performance. Two consecutive Premier League wins against Leicester City and West Ham United have broken the losing streak. The last time City won three games in a row was in October.

Guardiola expressed respect for Salford City’s manager, Karl Robinson, and his team’s recent winning streak. He also acknowledged the unique connection to Salford, having lived in the area for eight years. The match holds added significance with several Manchester United legends, including the Neville brothers, Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, and Butt, among the owners of Salford City.

While Guardiola confirmed that key players Dias, Stones, and Bobb will miss the match due to injury, he indicated that goalkeeper Ederson might play. He also dismissed suggestions of future club ownership, stating his preference for managing rather than business affairs.
