The Citizens will play Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in the finals in April which promises to be a blockbuster because of the two managers involved.

"[The final] is not next week, the game will arrive at the final. We will be in the best possible condition. Tottenham are a top team but we won't think about it yet."
Guardiola dedicated the victory over their city rival to the late Man City legend Colin Bell who recently passed on.
"It's for Colin Bell and his family. He helped to build something special for this club. It's an incredible victory for us to beat United away and it was for him absolutely."
Speaking of his team's performance against the Red Devils Guardiola revealed he was impressed with their performance coming from a comprehensive win over Chelsea at the weekend.
Guardiola added:
"The team is ready and it was an outstanding performance. We dipped a little bit in the second half, we were tired after the game at Stamford Bridge but when the team has this mentality they can do something incredible. It's not the Champions League but four times in a row to reach the final - I'm so impressed.
"I think that was our first goal from a set-piece. Lately, we have been close to scoring on set-pieces and tonight we scored two goals.
"It's about the consistency. We didn't have a proper pre-season and that's why we need a little bit of time but I think we are already there."
