Arsenal will be looking to get the better of Manchester City this evening and progress to the final of the FA Cup this season.
The Gunners will head into the semi-final tie against Pep Guardiola’s side on the back of a 2-1 victory over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League.
Shkodran Mustafi was rested against the Reds, and the 28-year-old Germany international central defender – who cost the Gunners £35 million in transfer fees in the summer of 2016, as reported by The Daily Mail – is likely to be drafted into a back-three that will also have David Luiz and Rob Holding.
Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney will be the two wing-backs, with Daniel Ceballos – on loan from Real Madrid – returning to the midfield.
Ahead of the match against City, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta raved about the attacking midfielder, telling the Gunners’ official website that he is “really, really happy with his progress and how much he’s improving and giving to the club”.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to lead the line for the Gunners, and will have Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Saka on either side of a front-three, although the former two are likely to switch positions during the game.
This is how Arsenal are likely to line up against City in the FA Cup this evening:
