FA Cup Semifinal Prediction: Manchester City vs Chelsea
The FA Cup semi-final will bring Manchester City against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (16/4). The two English giants will elbow each other for a place in the final.
Chelsea is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League standings. However, the Blues squad is in good standing as they have only qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The same thing was also experienced by Manchester City, who had just secured their way to the last four of the Champions League. This gave both teams the upper hand.
In the Sportskeeda report, Chelsea are still superior in head to head affairs with City. The Blues recorded 68 wins from 168 meetings between the two sides. While City only packed 59 wins.
The last match between the two teams took place earlier this year. City came out as champions with a score of 3-1. This will be the perfect moment of revenge for Chelsea.
Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel, is predicted to rely on the role of N'Golo Kante as a general in the midfield. Only Mateo Kovacic is reportedly injured so Tuchel has many options for players.
The same thing happened to City. Pep Guardiola can tinker with the formation freely because only Sergio Aguero is a doubt to appear.
Guardiola can field players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus to mess up the Chelsea defense.
Estimated Line-up of Players
Manchester City:
Zack Steffen, Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Ferran Torres, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus.
Chelsea:
Kepa, Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Reece James, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Pulisic, Havertz
