Team News

Man City
Brighton
  • Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has a headache at left-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko almost certainly set to miss Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with a hamstring injury sustained on Wednesday night.
  • With Fabian Delph still injured and Benjamin Mendy in Guardiola's bad books, Danilo or Aymeric Laporte may be asked to fill in at left-back against Brighton.
  • Sergio Agüero missed Wednesday's 2-0 win over Cardiff through injury but Guardiola has confirmed he will be in the squad this weekend. Gabriel Jesus or Raheem Sterling will deputise in a central position if Aguero is not fit enough to start.
  • David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Sterling were unused substitutes in midweek and will all start at Wembley.
  • Yves Bissouma missed the last round of the FA Cup through suspension but is available for Brighton this weekend.
  • Solly March is not expected to recover from injury in time to make Saturday's trip to Wembley after coming off 31 minutes into Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.
  • Jürgen Locadia missed the trip to Stamford Bridge altogether and will be assessed prior to kick-off this weekend but Pascal Groß is not expected to recover from injury in time.

Prediction

  • Manchester City have already won the League Cup and now have the FA Cup in their sights, as part of an unprecedented quadruple this season.
  • Brighton have lost successive matches without scoring since booking their place in the FA Cup semi-finals. They have lost their last three against City.
