Manchester City will aim to recover from their Champions League heartbreak when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's side were eliminated by Real Madrid on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the second leg, ending their hopes of defending the European title. However, City remain top of the Premier League, two points clear of Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Blues will be without several key players due to injury concerns. Kevin De Bruyne, Manuel Akanji, and Erling Haaland are all doubts; Haaland appeared to limp off the pitch in the midweek defeat. Their availability will be a boost for City as they seek to reach a second consecutive FA Cup final.
Chelsea, meanwhile, come into the match on a high after a 6-0 win over Everton on Monday, courtesy of four goals from former City forward Cole Palmer. The 21-year-old has netted 20 league goals this season and will be eager to impress against his old club. Mauricio Pochettino's side have improved in recent weeks and pose a significant threat.
The match will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website and app, with coverage starting at 4:45pm. Highlights will be available on BBC One at 11:35pm on Sunday and across digital platforms after full-time. International viewers can watch via the FA's broadcast partners.
City are the FA Cup holders and will look to defend their trophy, while Chelsea aim to reach the final after a mixed season. The winner will face either Coventry City or Manchester United in the final.
