Team news

There are almost no injury concerns for Pep Guardiola, bar the fitness of Nathan Ake who is currently nursing a thigh injury. Ake scored the winner in January’s FA Cup success over Arsenal. The FA Cup semi-final saw several changes but tomorrow night’s event will likely see the return of John Stones, Ruben Dias, Rodri and Kevin de Bruyne to the starting line-up. Riyad Mahrez will also likely make up the starting XI following his hat-trick over the Blades on Saturday.

Arsenal, however, have a key defensive issue with William Saliba as he continues to make slow progress in recovery from a back injury. The French centre-back is expected to miss Wednesday’s game and potentially the rest of the season. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny will also watch from the sidelines as they rehabilitate from knee surgeries but Granit Xhaka should fight off the illness that saw him unable to play against Southampton.
