FA Cup final booked — and City keep the title race alive

FA Cup final: City are through

City beat Southampton 2–1 in the FA Cup semi-final and are heading to Wembley (1). That's the headline. Job done.

Premier League: two points off Arsenal

City's 3–0 win over Brentford dragged them to within two points of Arsenal at the top (3). The gap is real but manageable. Arsenal travel to West Ham, so City fans should be watching that one closely. Guardiola called it a "colossal" task, and he's not wrong — City no longer control their own destiny (3). But two points with games to go? This title race is alive.

Women's FA Cup: Shaw starts, Knaak out

On the women's side, City face Chelsea in their own FA Cup semi-final (2). Khadija Shaw starts up front, as expected. Rebecca Knaak misses out with a shoulder injury she picked up scoring against Liverpool — the goal that nearly locked up the WSL title (2). Chelsea bring in Hannah Hampton and Keira Walsh, with Lucy Bronze on the bench (2) (4). City will need to do it without one of their most important players in form.
