Manchester City are at Wembley today as they take on Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final. City negotiated the quarter-final by beating Championship opposition in Burnley, and now they need to do the same by beating the Blades if they are to reach another cup final.

The Blues - whether Pep Guardiola likes to speak about it or not - are in the running for a Treble with a Champions League semi-final encounter with Real Madrid already in the bag following their defeat of Bayern Munich, and a potential Premier League title decider against Arsenal facing them on Wednesday.

It means Guardiola will have a decision to make over whether he rests some key players today. Sheffield United aren't to be underestimated though as they look set for promotion back into the top flight, but they will be without two key men in James McAtee and Tommy Doyle who are ineligible to play due to them being on loan from City. Follow below for pre-match build-up, live match updates and post-match reaction from Wembley. Pep Guardiola tried to dismiss any talk of a Manchester City treble this week, yet the sight of his makeshift side easing into the FA Cup final might mean he doesn't get a choice in the matter.

As key players were rested, it was Riyad Mahrez who lit up Wembley with a fine hat-trick to fire City into another final and keep those treble chances alive.
