Neither Manchester United or Manchester City will have a clean bill of health going into Saturday’s FA Cup final.
'Has to wait' - Three ways Man City could line up vs Tottenham in must-win Premier League clash
14.05.2024 - 04:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola will need to consider fitness and form when selecting his Manchester City line-up to face Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.
Nathan Ake hobbled off against Fulham and Kyle Walker replaced him having barely trained in the build-up. Jack Grealish was absent through illness - while John Stones is fit but Pep Guardiola insisted that his in-form defenders will keep their places if they continue to perform. Grealish is back available this week, but Ake will have to be assessed.
City have never won or scored at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League - although they did score their first goal there when beating Spurs in the FA Cup in January.

City were excellent at Fulham and I'd be tempted to use most of the same players. Walker improved the solidity when he took over the right-back duties so while Ake's injury was unfortunate the team did not suffer.
Manu Akanji and Ruben Dias did enough to earn another game together in the middle, while there is no getting rid of Josko Gvardiol at the minute. John Stones may have to wait for another opportunity.
Going forward, again it is hard to look past the same front six that started. Mateo Kovacic supported Rodri well with Bernardo Silva chipping in, while Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne are essential support for Erling Haaland.
Jeremy Doku, Julian Alvarez and others are all itching for a start but can have a big impact from the bench.
