SILVA HELPS IN CITY'S VICTORY

David Silva is an integral role in Manchester city's victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup.Patrick Vieira and James Milner came into midfield, Joleon Lescott started in defence, while David Silva replaced striker Edin Dzeko.

The home side were not at their best, but they possessed the extra quality to craft and then capitalise on a greater number of chances.

It was one of Mancini's retained stars from the weekend - winger Johnson - who should have given the home side the lead early on, when Tevez's pass sent him clear on goal, but he dwelt on the ball too long and his eventual scuffed effort was saved by Weale.
