Leyton Orient vs. Manchester City: An Upset Brewing?
Leyton Orient, fresh off a penalty shootout victory over Derby County, will face a stern test against the reigning Premier League champions. While Manchester City boasts a star-studded lineup, including the prolific Erling Haaland, they've experienced inconsistency this season. This presents a unique opportunity for Orient, who will need a Herculean defensive effort and clinical finishing from players like Daniel Agyei to pull off an upset.
