Manchester City
Manchester City have played 405 minutes in the FA Cup this season. They have yet to concede a goal.
 
The semi final is always the trickiest with the timing of it around Champions League, but the final is after the Premier League has finished and the Champions League Final (if we made it) is a full week after the FA Cup Final. We’d obviously play Ortega if we get there, but the rest of the team would be full strength. It’s today that is the iffy one for tiredness, rotation and scheduling. It’s a day for grabbing the win however we can, and hoping we get no more injuries.
Absolutely spot on.
 
Playing semi finals at Wembley have ruined the FA Cup
The FA have played a blinder. I 100% agree with you, but it's now embedded and if you changed it now then the younger generation of fans would question it.
 
Yes, bigger fish to fry on Wednesday but thought we might have looked a bit better than against Sheff Utd tbh.
I think we’ve looked fairly good, given we are playing a side (rightly) packing the box and running around like madmen to try to keep us out.

It was always going to be a slog to get the first goal as it would have been suicidal for them to try to play toe-to-toe with us.
