Pep Guardiola has told his Manchester City bosses that he will 'quit' if he has to leave multiple players out each week next season. Pep Guardiola insists he wants a smaller squad next season, sensationally telling Manchester City bosses that he will "quit" if he is given a big squad to select from after the summer transfer market. Guardiola has left multiple players out of his matchday squad in the last couple of weeks as more of his injured players return.

James McAtee was a strange omission from Manchester City's matchday squad against Nottingham Forest at Wembley for their FA Cup semi-final. Pep Guardiola named an unusual starting line up for Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final, with no sign of James McAtee in the squad at all. McAtee has started two of City's last three games, including Tuesday's important win over Aston Villa in the hunt for Champions League qualification.

Manchester City will have fewer fans at Wembley than Nottingham Forest supporters on Sunday - and is it really a surprise? Sunday's FA Cup semi-final won't be decided on how many fans were in the stands at Wembley. If it was, Manchester City would lose. City will have around 5,000 empty seats at Wembley for their seventh semi-final in a row, 21st visit to the national stadium under Pep Guardiola and 30th in total since it re-opened.

Manchester City have Nico O'Reilly to thank for their place in the FA Cup semi-final this afternoon. The academy graduate should be the first name on the team sheet at Wembley vs Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola was probably half-joking when he said Nico O'Reilly would start Sunday's FA Cup semi-final a month ago. Now it would be a joke if he didn't start.

Wasn't sold on Tuchel and have seen nothing yet to change my mind... ...but it feels like people are forgetting how bad the June internationals always are. Players tired, unmotivated, poor opposition or friendly games, injuries etc. He wasn't hired for games like these.

Felt like the whole town was at Wembley yesterday, so many different shirts on show and a fair few new Latics fans created. And that's all down to Frank - he's done so much more than save a dying football club. #oafc https://t.co/FdAIJPhGuS
