Manchester City will look to make up for their Champions League heartache by sealing a place in next month’s FA Cup final when they face Premier League rivals Chelsea at Wembley.

Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of European competition on Wednesday to end their hopes of back-to-back trebles, but the Premier League and FA Cup double remains a distinct possibility.

The fact the Champions League clash went the distance means the City boss could be forced into changes to combat fatigue, and the likes of Nathan Aké, Julián Álvarez, John Stones and Rico Lewis will likely be promoted to the starting XI.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will probably be hoping this tie doesn’t go to penalties, after the palaver surrounding the build-up to Cole Palmer scoring from the spot in last Monday’s 6-0 demolition job of Everton.

That took the Blues’ unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions since losing to Liverpool in February’s Carabao Cup final, and they will need Palmer at his best against his former club if they are to stand any chance of reaching a second domestic cup final of the season.
