Iheanacho Targets Showpiece Game At Wembley, Chelsea & Man Utd Strong Teams

Kelechi Iheanacho has been previewing Manchester City’s upcoming game against Middlesbrough in the Emirates FA Cup.

The Nigeria international is aware that the Citizens will be booking a Wembley berth should they see off The Boro at
Riverside Stadium on Saturday and thinks the game is like a final.

“It is a big game on Saturday against Middlesbrough,” Iheanacho told Man City’s official website.

“It is a final for us to play. We have to go there to play the good football that we can do and we hope to get the win that we need so we have got a trip to Wembley for the semi-finals.”

Five of the top six teams in the Premier League, including Manchester United and Chelsea, are still in the race to win the FA Cup, but Iheanacho fancies Man City’s chances of adding to their silverware collection nonetheless.

The City number 72 added : “There are strong teams in the FA Cup, of course - Chelsea and Manchester United play.

“We need to keep working hard and believe in ourselves and of course, if we work hard, we are going to win.”

At the start of this month, the Super Eagles rising star was on target in the fifth round decider against Huddersfield after coming on as a substitute.
