Confirmed Line-Ups: Manchester City vs Sheffield United (FA Cup Semi-Final)

Manchester City take on high-flying Championship side Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium, at the last-four stage of the FA Cup.

The Premier League champions travel to the capital just days after booking their place in the last-four of the Champions League, following a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich that secured a 1-4 aggregate victory.

That outcome now means that City will take on a repeat of the 2022 Champions League final, as they take on Spanish giants and renowned European football experts Real Madrid across two-legs in May for a place in an Istanbul final.

Before then, Manchester City will hope to secure a place in another final, as they take on Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium in the semi-final stage – with either Brighton & Hove Albion or Manchester United their opponents in the June final.

City will be without Nathan Ake for the contest against the Blades, while Phil Foden continues to recover from surgery on his appendix earlier month. As for the Yorkshire club, Sheffield United will be without Etihad loanees James McAtee and Tommy Doyle due to competition rules.
