injury news
Pep Guardiola says City will wait before making a final decision on the availability of Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker.
The pair both picked up knocks during Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg tie away to Atletico Madrid.
PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
“I have said to the players that I do not want any excuses. We need to go to Wembley and play our game.
“Semi-finals of the FA Cup are always hard, against this side. Even with the top players fit and rested.
“I learned as a manager when you arrive in the latter stages in all competitions, you adapt to the schedule. If you want to complain for a [safety] net, you make a mistake.”
LAST TIME OUT
City dug deep to secure a goalless draw away at Atletico Madrid in the second leg of our Champions League quarter-final, which saw us progress to the last four with a 1-0 aggregate win.
Liverpool draw 3-3 with Benfica in the second leg of their last eight tie, also reaching the semi-finals with a 6-4 victory on aggregate.
PREVIOUS MEETING
It has been less than a week since we faced Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, in what was yet another Premier League blockbuster between the two sides.
Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring just five minutes into the game, before Diogo Jota headed Liverpool level only a few minutes later.
Gabriel Jesus would see us hit the front again just before half-time, only for Liverpool to equalise shortly into the second-half through Said Mane to see the game finish as a draw.
The result means we still hold the advantage in the title race, one point above Liverpool with just seven games left in the Premier League season.
FORM GUIDE
Unsurprisingly, both teams are playing at the top of their games coming into this semi-final.
We arrive at Wembley off the back of a ten-match unbeaten run, with only one-defeat on our record since the turn of the year.
Liverpool have also only lost once in all competitions in 2022, with last week’s draw at the Etihad being the first time they have dropped points in 11 league games.
