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.

No #mcfc players on the PL Player or Manager of the Year shortlists is no surprise. Haaland maybe unlucky with 21 goals, more than two other strikers on the list. Surely Andoni Iraola should be on the manager list, though?
🏆Jahmai Simpson-Pusey becomes the first defender to win the Premier League 2 Player of the Season. Follows previous #mcfc winners Liam Delap, James McAtee and Carlos Borges. Other winners include Curtis Jones and Reiss Nelson.
One thing was clear yesterday: the 4-2-2-2 system that worked so effectively without Haaland doesn't work with him in the attack. So either the system changes for the FA Cup final... or Haaland does 😬 #mcfc https://t.co/WWVgHqGiO6
