Leyton Orient will invite Manchester City to Brisbane Road in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. Leyton defeated Derby County 6-5 on penalties in the last round while City overcame fourth-tier side Salford City 8-0 last month.
The hosts saw their winning streak end after two games last week, as they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Stockport County in the Football League One. They failed to score for the third time in five games and will look to improve upon that record.
The visitors suffered a loss after two consecutive wins last week, falling to a 5-1 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League. Erling Haaland had equalized in the 55th minute but Thomas Partey restored Arsenal's lead just 38 seconds later. The Gunners scored three more goals before the final whistle to register a memorable home triumph.
