Appreciate the preview
The head of Leyton Orient Richie Wellens hopes to take revenge on Pep Guardiola and Manchester City if the pages meet tomorrow in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Wellens is a lifelong supporter of Manchester United and still has season tickets in Old Trafford. And he says that the success of United’s cross-town rivals in recent years has sometimes made a misery.
He said, “I have to say that in the past, I and my sons, caused a lot of pain to me how good they are.
“But it’s best of the best. He is a genius, he is a pioneer, many coaches look up at him. What he did, especially in English football, he has many coaches. “

Orient is located in the first division and continues to make solid progress under Wellens, but he accepts a collision with the city – despite all its problems this season – is a massive step in quality.
“We can’t wait,” he said. “It is a good awareness of the club and we have many young, talented players who are really up to this season, so that they compete against some of the best players in the world is really good for them.
“It is more about trying to organize a show and stay in the game as far as possible. City is a brilliant football team, but there are some weak points at the moment. Can we try to uncover them as much as possible?
“With regard to the day, this club almost went out of business six or seven years ago to be where we are in the league, and to organize the best team that the Premier League ever seen A big proof of the club and how far it has come.
“Our analysts were in their element this week and observed clips from PSG, Arsenal and Liverpool. We saw some weak points there, but they play against top, top opposition. It is a question of whether we are able to benefit from them from afar. “
Manchester City goes to London for the second time and will expect that they lost 5-1 against Arsenal at the Emirates last Sunday.
City showed her skills against the sides of the lower division in round three, but hammered the neighbors Salford City 8-0 in the Etihad.
Orient has hit a more cumbersome route with victories over Boreham Wood, Oldham and Derby County.

Leyton Orient has no fresh injuries, although the obligations in January Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Randell Williams Cup are bound and are not justified.
Wellens will therefore choose from the squad that lost 1-0 against Stockport County last weekend.
