FA Cup Semi-Final Starting XI: Arsenal v Manchester City 18 July 2020

FA Cup Semi-Final Starting XI: Arsenal v Manchester City 18 July 2020

A spot in the FA Cup final will be up for grabs when record winners Arsenal lock horns with defending champions Manchester City - Here's how the sides will start tonight.

Teams: Arsenal v Manchester City

Date: 18 July 2020

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Arsenal and City had relatively easy passages to the semi-finals, winning in regulation time against Sheffield United and Newcastle United respectively in the previous round.

The Gunners will particularly look to get their own over the Citizens following last month's 3-0 drubbing in a Premier League clash at the Etihad in Manchester.

Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who City usually prefer for cup clashes, will sit out this one through injury while the Gunners have Mesut Ozil returning from back soreness.
