Pep Guardiola admitted he is 'unsure' whether Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne will be fit to start against Chelsea after the pair were substituted early during City's Champions League defeat in midweek.

The truth is, with City's next clash coming against Brighton on Thursday, there's plenty of rest time to recover after today's crucial semi-final. It's likely Guardiola will do everything he can to get them into the starting XI.

As for Nathan Ake and John Stones, both are back fit and available, and therefore it's likely one - if not both - will return against Chelsea. Josko Gvardiol's solid form of late sees him return in our predicted lineup.

As for Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino will no doubt go full strength with plenty of bodies in the engine room to negate City's midfield threat. Expect Conor Gallagher to stick on De Bruyne like a leech, if the Belgian starts.

Manchester City predicted XI: Ortega; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri; Foden, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Doku; Haaland

Chelsea predicted XI: Petrovic; Gusto, Chalobah, Silva, Chilwell; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson
