FA Cup a chance for Pep Guardiola to make mark at Manchester City

The FA Cup presents a great opportunity for Pep Guardiola to make his mark on his first season at Manchester City. With a title challenge that's seemingly over already, the fourth round tie with Crystal Palace on Saturday should be taken seriously if the manager wants to end the campaign with some silverware.

Of course, there is still the Champions League -- but few will be pinning their hopes of winning a competition on City's European campaign at this stage.

That said, the FA Cup draw isn't ideal for City. Their last trip to Selhurst Park finished 2-1 to the visitors, as Yaya Toure marked his return to the first-team with a brace.
