Manchester City XI vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news
Manchester City aim to secure their second major trophy of the season on Saturday when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side have already won the Carabao Cup this term. They could become only the sixth team in history to complete the domestic cup double. City have dominated this competition recently, winning twenty-one of their last twenty-three fixtures. However, they are wary of matching Chelsea’s unwanted record of three consecutive final losses.
Manchester City team news
The primary concern for Guardiola is the fitness of midfield anchor Rodri. The Spaniard remains a significant doubt with a nagging groin injury. Guardiola was tight-lipped about his availability during Friday’s media briefing. In his absence, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez are expected to operate deeper.
James Trafford is set to continue his run in goal for the final. He has been preferred to Gianluigi Donnarumma throughout the domestic cup runs.
Guardiola is unlikely to risk Josko Gvardiol from the start today. The defender recently returned from a broken leg against Crystal Palace. Nico O’Reilly is expected to fill the void in the defensive line.
