Kick off time

It’s a 5.15pm kick off at Wembley tonight.

And we’ll go the distance tonight, should we need it.

And if we get half the drama of the Scottish Cup semi final earlier, we’re in for a treat.

Celtic drew 3-3 with Aberdeen, with ex-City stopper JOE HART missing a penalty in the shootout to win it for the Hoops.

Before being the hero in a 6-5 shootout win.

Bounce back

Pep Guardiola has called on his City stars to forget the heartbreak of midweek and react this afternoon.

He said: “We don’t have another option and don’t want to feel sorry for ourselves.

“We performed at our best but were not able to win against Madrid.

“What next? We don’t have time to reflect. We reflect in the summertime. Football, you compete to win but most of the time you lose games.”

Cityzens arriving

Here is the City team who arrived a short time ago, with Kevin de Bruyne involved.

The players took time to shake the hands with the mascot youngsters who gathered inside Wembley.

Team news will be on the way shortly.

Early team News

And it’s big team news. Reports claim there is no Erling Haaland in the Manchester City squad this afternoon in a massive blow to the Sky Blues.

Kevin de Bruyne is fit to be involved and is here with the City team. Whether he’s fit enough to start remains to be seen.

Chelsea should have Raheem Sterling, Enzo Fernandez and Axel Disasi back in their side having missed the game on Monday.

Semi Saturday

Good afternoon and welcome to a huge afternoon in the English football calendar with the first of the FA Cup semi finals this weekend.

And it’s a belter too with Manchester City and Chelsea doing battle for a spot in the showpiece event at the end of the season.

City will still be reeling from being dumped out of the Champions League in midweek and need a reaction here.

While Chelsea come here in their best form of the season, highlighted by the SIX goals scored in that demolition of Everton on Monday night.

It’s poised to be a great occasion.
