FA Cup AMP header

Manchester City will endeavour to put aside their heartbreaking Champions League exit when they lock horns with Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Citizens' hopes of retaining their Champions League crown and winning an unprecedented double-treble are now over after they were beaten 4-3 on penalties by Real Madrid following a 4-4 aggregate draw on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola's side are still competing on two fronts, though, as they look to defend both the Premier League title and FA Cup, seeking to win the latter for the eighth time in their history.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend's contest with Mauricio Pochettino's side.
