Manchester City can book their place at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday when you visit Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
With the Victory, the Cityzens will receive a trip to the capital for the semi-finals of the oldest cup competition in the world, but they will be faced with a considerable test in the form of Bournemouth, which defeated Pep Guardiola at the beginning of this term.
City can save a little proudly from a largely miserable campaign if you claim the FA Cup for the eighth time in its history and the third under Guardiola’s instructions. Despite their overwhelming form, they remain favorites for this year’s crown.
This is how the city could stand on the south coast.
GK: Stefan Ortega – Ederson’s fitness problems equipped him from Brazil’s qualifying Double during the international break, and Ortega can be requested in Bournemouth this weekend.
RB: Rico Lewis – Guardiola chopped and changed his right -back this season, but Lewis is now clear as the best candidate. He started three of the last five excursions for City and is well rested after being cut for England Duty.
CB: Abdukodir Khusanov – Khusanov’s own goal against Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break added to a growing list of mistakes from the recruit in January, the form of which was otherwise quite solid. Injuries by Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji and John Stones mean that the boy has to start in Bournemouth.
CB: Ruben slides – The slides helped book their place in the semi -finals of the Nations League during the international period, and would like to help City to reach the last four of the FA Cup this weekend.
LB: Josko Gvardiol – Gvardiol did not have so happy during the quarterfinal of the Nations League when Croatia exit in punishments from France. He played almost 200 minutes in two games and will feel the burn on Sunday.
DM: Nico Gonzalez – The winter signing was not yet able to fill Rodris gigantic shoes, and it is commissioned to suppress the one in the form of Justin Kluivert, who attacks himself in the attack on the midfield.
DM: Ilkay Gundogan – Although Gundogan’s aging legs are costly for the city this season, Guardiola continues to prefer the German to the German and sportier Mateo Kovacic.
RW: Savinho – Savinho was sparingly used by Brazil in meetings with Colombia and Argentina, and the speed dealer should be fresh enough to start in Bournemouth on the right.
Am: Omar Marmoush – Marmoush saved his best performance for Etihad – including a wonderful strike in the last time – and Guardiola needs the Egyptian to take on such a form on his travels.
LW: Jeremy Doku – In Savinho and Doku, City have two extremely exciting strikers who have difficulty producing the end product consistently. Unfortunately, Guardiola such as Jack Grialish, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva have recently been similarly ineffective.
ST: Erling Haaland – The Norwegian colossus scored twice during the international break and still found the back of the network with impressive regularity in light blue. He has 29 goals and four templates in 39 excursions for the cityzens this season.
