City in the FA Cup final, Rodri a doubt vs Brentford

City are in the FA Cup final

City beat Southampton 2–1 in the semi-final. That's the final booked. Whatever else is going wrong in the league right now, this is a genuine chance at silverware (1).

Rodri: still a doubt for Brentford

Rodri hasn't been cleared for Saturday's home game against Brentford. No confirmation either way yet. If he misses it, that's a big deal — City's midfield looks completely different without him (3) (4).

The draw with Everton still stings

Pep praised Doku after the Everton draw, calling him versatile and more than just an attacker. Doku was good. But a draw with Everton may have cost City the Premier League title. Pep putting a positive spin on it doesn't change that (5).

What else is floating around

Enzo Maresca is still the leading candidate to replace Pep whenever that day comes. Rayan Cherki spoke about working under Guardiola. City are also renaming the Etihad for the Brentford clash on Saturday (6). None of it changes what matters this week: win the league game, keep the cup dream alive.
