Manchester City is set to face Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday (The Mirror). Pep Guardiola’s team is expected to continue their pursuit of a treble, despite the threat posed by the Championship high-flyers (Evening Standard).
Ahead of the match, Guardiola confirmed that Nathan Ake will miss the game due to injury (Manchester Evening News). However, City will continue to rely on their strong lineup and performance, with Erling Haaland also expected to start (Football.London).
If City can overcome Sheffield United, they will move one step closer to adding another trophy to their already impressive season. Their success has led Guardiola to make bold claims about the potential for a treble this year (Manchester Evening News).
However, City suffered a setback in their recent match against Bayern Munich when Ake was forced off due to injury (Manchester Evening News). This could be a concern for City as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Premier League next week (Daily Post Nigeria).
Despite these challenges, Guardiola remains focused and driven to lead his team to victory. His leadership can be seen in his reaction to Leroy Sane’s performance in the Champions League, where he praised his former player for his performance against PSG (The Mirror).
Overall, Manchester City remains a formidable team to watch, with a potential treble within their reach.
