Nathan Ake looks set to miss out on Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final clash with Sheffield United.

The Dutch defender limped off during the second half of Wednesday's Champions League draw with Bayern Munich due to a hamstring problem, although he is Pep Guardiola's only major injury concern for the Wembley showdown.

Phil Foden was back on the bench for the mid-week match in Munich after a short spell on the sidelines following appendix surgery, and he is pushing for a place in the XI.

Sheffield United head to Wembley without influential midfield loanees Tommy Doyle and James McAtee, who are ineligible to face their parent club.

Wes Foderingham is available between the sticks after serving a two-game suspension, while Jack O'Connell, Rhian Brewster and Rhys Norrington-Davies are long-term absentees.

Man City v Sheffield United prediction

Sheffield United are enjoying a brilliant campaign under Paul Heckingbottom, but Manchester City look a step too far for the Blades' FA Cup dream.

The reigning Premier League champions are in brilliant form and have been firing in the goals for fun of late.

Pep Guardiola will likely have one eye on next Wednesday's crunch Premier League title clash with Arsenal, but he has a squad stacked full of quality in every position.

Expect City to bang in a few goals early doors – probably via Erling Haaland – to kill off the tie before a raft of substitutions.
