Pep Guardiola will have a full squad to pick from when Manchester City host Sheffield United in the FA Cup this weekend.
Manchester City Team News
Man City seem to be going from strength to strength at the moment, beating Bayern Munich to advance to the Champions League semi-final and sitting just four points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.
Their position is strengthen further by having a fully fit squad available heading into their FA Cup tie with Sheffield United. It could be the next step in a historic treble for the blue half of Manchester, one not seen since their rivals Man United secured the three biggest trophies available over 20 years ago.
Phil Foden made his comeback to the squad on Wednesday evening, following appendix surgery earlier this year. It’ll be another massive boost to have the England youngster available as City close in on another domestic final.
There is likely to be some rotation from Guardiola for this match but any Man City starting XI is going to be a strong one and this should be no exception but, when speaking to the press on Friday, the City boss kept his cards close to his chest.
“I have to see how they players feel today. After the game, in the locker room, they could not really celebrate because we could have had more sequences of passes in Munich that helped us to rest with the ball, but we did not rest with the ball a lot.”
He was able to confirm that Nathan Ake wasn’t fit enough to feature however, with the left sided defender ruled out through injury.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup
Man City Predicted XI (4-3-3): Stefan Ortega, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, John Stones, Kalvin Phillips, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish, Julian Alvarez
