Competition : FA Cup 2013
The FA Cup semi-final throws up a mouth-watering tie between two of the country’s top teams. For most this would have been a fitting final, with the other semi-final filled with much weaker sides but it gives the underdog a chance of the final and this will be the real test.
Chelsea have won four times in six seasons, including a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in last season's final, while Manchester City defeated Stoke City 1-0 in the 2011 showpiece.
City have negotiated their way through this year's competition more easily, having swept aside Watford, Stoke, Leeds United and Barnsley without even conceding a goal.
Defender Micah Richards (knee) has returned to fuill training, but this game may come to soon for a first team return, whilst Jack Rodwell (hamstring) and Maicon (knee) are both likely to be missing.
Chelsea also began impressively with an emphatic victory over Southampton, but they were then given a huge fright by Brentford before emerging triumphant after a replay.
and having beaten Manchester United in the F.A Cup by 1-0 playing at home.
Ashley Cole (hamstring) and Gary Cahill (knee) are close to first team return, but this game may come too soon for the defensive pair. Midfielder Oriol Romeu (knee) will miss the rest of the season.
