Team news

Leroy Sane aside, Pep Guardiola has a full squad to choose from after Benjamin Mendy and John Stones recovered from the injuries which kept them out of the midweek win over Sheffield United.

An ankle injury means Fulham’s top scorer Aleksandr Mitrovic misses the game, whilst Harrison Reed, Aboubakar Kamara, Anthony Knockaert and Maxime Le Marchand are all doubts.

Pep Guardiola’s preview

“What I saw, it’s a really good team and I like the way they play. It’s not easy to be relegated and the year after to be there again.

“When a team is third in Championship it’s because there is something. It’s a team that wants to play, it has personality. We spoke about that with the team and hopefully we can play because it’s a final. We will try and do our best.”
