Man City Form


Man City have won their last 10 FA Cup matches and cruised past Newcastle (2-0) in the quarter-finals.

Since the Newcastle cup win, City have won three and drawn three in all competitions. Pep Guardiola’s side drew 1-1 with Real Madrid (4-4 on aggregate) in the Champions League and lost on penalties.

City conceded after 12 minutes and controlled the match with 33 shots and 67% possession. Kevin De Bruyne equalised to take the tie to extra time and City were eliminated 4-3 on penalties.

Man City Injuries & Team News


Man City have no injuries or suspensions.

Chelsea Form


Chelsea are undefeated in 12 consecutive matches in all competitions, drawing five. 

Three FA Cup wins came in this spell against Aston Villa (3-1), Leeds (3-2) and Leicester (4-2). The Blues followed the Leicester win with two draws and two wins, including a 6-0 victory over Everton on Monday.

Cole Palmer scored a hat-trick in the opening 29 minutes and Nicolas Jackson added a fourth before half time. Palmer scored again after the break and Alfie Gilchrist added a late sixth. 

Chelsea Injuries & Team News


Defensive trio Wesley Fofana, Reece James and Levi Colwill are out.

Midfielders Roméo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu and striker Christopher Nkunkuare also out.

Verdict

Man City are unlikely to be at full strength after some testing recent fixtures. Chelsea are building momentum, Cole Palmer is scoring goals and the Blues can hold the reigning FA Cup champions.
