According to Eurosport, Manchester City faces the challenge of overcoming their Champions League disappointment as they head to Wembley to take on Chelsea in pursuit of an FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola's team suffered a penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, halting their aspirations of clinching a double treble. Meanwhile, Chelsea returns to Wembley for the first time since their loss to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final earlier in the year.
Despite their inconsistency, the Blues have maintained an undefeated record against City this season. Notably, Cole Palmer stands out as one of Europe's in-form players, eager to showcase his abilities against his former club.
Here are the key details for the upcoming match:
Date, Kick-off Time, and Venue:
Manchester City vs Chelsea is set to kick off at 5:15 pm BST on Saturday, April 20, 2024. The match will take place at Wembley Stadium in London.
In their recent encounter with Madrid, Manchester City nearly had their full squad available, although John Stones could only manage 10 minutes of play. Guardiola confirmed that Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were substituted upon request.
Chelsea may see the return of Enzo Fernandez and Axel Disasi for the game after they missed the recent 6-0 victory over Everton. However, players such as Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Levi Colwill are reportedly sidelined at this stage.
