Manchester City face a crucial return to action this weekend as they take on Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals on April 20.

Pep Guardiola saw his UEFA Champions League title defence ended in midweek as Real Madrid secured a quarterfinal penalty shootout win in Manchester.

However, despite their European disappointment, City can still secure a Premier League and FA Cup double this season, with their hopes of a ‘double treble’ now over ahead of the campaign run in.

Man City vs Chelsea lineups, team news

Guardiola will likely reshuffle his starting XI following a long and draining night against Real Madrid. Stefan Ortega is set to step in for Ederson as part of his role as FA Cup goalkeeper.

Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji were all substituted against Los Blancos, and the trio will be assessed, after Guardiola confirmed they asked to come off.

Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ortega (GK) — Lewis, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol — Rodri, Kovacic — Foden, Alvarez, Doku— Haaland.

Mauricio Pochettino is still battling against a lengthy injury list at Chelsea in 2024 with at least six players missing for this game. A late call will be made on the fitness of Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez but Raheem Sterling and Robert Sanchez should shake off illness in time to start.

Chelsea predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Sanchez (GK) — Gusto, Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella— Gallagher, Caicedo, Fernandez — Palmer, Jackson, Sterling.
