Manchester City will take on Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
After remaining unbeaten for an incredible 27 matches across all competitions, Pep Guardiola's team finally fell to a defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League in their latest outing. They will be desperate to return to their winning ways but Mauricio Pochettino and co. could spring a surprise.
The Blues are also on an unbeaten run that has now stretched to eight games. They are heading into this crucial cup tie on the back of a brilliant 6-0 win over Everton which included a sensational Cole Palmer four-goal haul.
