Christian Pulisic, the Chelsea winger, outlined his and team's confidence ahead of their clashes with Porto and City.
"I’m feeling really confident, I’m feeling very good with the team as well. It was a big response from the last Premier League game as well," Pulisic said.
"Personally I am feeling very good. I am happy to be playing and helping the team whichever way I can. It was nice to get on the scoresheet and I am feeling very strong at the moment.
"I am doing my best to take care of myself. I have got to take care of my body and be strong and healthy for all the games."
The last time Chelsea and City met in the FA Cup was on 21 February 2016.
Chelsea proved too strong for City as the Blues emerged 5-1 winners in the fifth round match which was played at Stamford Bridge.
