Arsenal v Man City FA Cup Semi-Final


Arsenal v Man City FA Cup Semi-Final

Our Emirates FA Cup semi final schedule has been confirmed with both games due to take place at Wembley Stadium connected by EE.


Arsenal Manchester City is the first of two epic FA Cup Semi-Finals at Wednesday Stadium this weekend as close friends Mike Arteta and Pep Guardiola lock horns on Saturday start time 2:45pm

Pep Guardiola and Man City have second place wrapped up though keeping fresh for the championship league is a worthy goal. Manchester City can still win a treble this season after winning the league Cup earlier this season and holding a first leg over real Madrid in the UCL Round of 16.

Guardiolas former assistant Mikel Arteta and arsenal stand in the way as arteta may see the FA Cup as his best route to the Europe League. The gunners do not control their own destiny in pursuit of a top seven spot, so defeating city is key to giving summer recruits the lure of Europe. Arsenal brat Liverpool earlier this week and will be confident.

Manchester City are no doubt the heavy favorite against Arsenal as Guardiola has prioritized the cup
competition over the Premier League and the motivation to retain their FA Cup title is high among  everyone at Manchester City.

Even though they were a distant second in the premier league this season Man City want to be able to add even more trophies to their cabinet. That said Arteta won tha FA Cup twice with Arsenal as a player and he knows how to unpick Guardiola tactics.

Team Says That,
                             Arsenal start Alexandra Lacazetta Pierra_Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe up top together in a very attack minded lineup.

Man City have Raheem Sterling Kevin de Bruyne and Aymeric Laporte all in the starting lineup after they were rested for the midweek win against Bournemouth.
