Team news

Mikel Arteta must decide whether to include Mesut Ozil as Arsenal look to upset holders Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final this evening.

The club's highest earner has not featured since English football restarted last month, though declared himself fit ahead of his latest no-show in midweek.

Cedric Soares is cup-tied, leaving Hector Bellerin to start. Bukayo Saka should take up the opposite flank, with Kieran Tierney on the left-hand side of the back three.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be recalled after a cameo in the win over the champions.

Arsenal predicted XI (3-4-3): Martinez; Mustafi, Luiz, Tierney; Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka; Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang

For City, Claudio Bravo will miss out on a Wembley appearance.

The Chile international has been ruled out with a muscle injury, meaning Ederson will be No1.

Joao Cancelo is in contention to play after being left out of the midweek squad that held on to beat Bournemouth 2-1.

Guardiola rested a number of key players midweek – leaving Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri and Aymeric Laporte out of his starting line up.

Predicted Man City vs Arsenal: Ederson; Walker, Fernandinho, Laporte, Mendy; De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva; Foden, Jesus, Sterling

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City

Taking down the Premier League champions will have given Arsenal a major boost heading into this fixture but City may have their number again.
