City conquered their rivals in the final last year too, winning 2-1 at Wembley and are strong favourites to do so again.
Following up last year’s treble with a double would be another indication of the relentless pursuit of excellence that has so far defined the Guardiola era.
The league champions’ manager confirmed on Friday that they have almost their full squad available, albeit goalkeeper Ederson will miss out after a facial injury sustained against Tottenham earlier this month.
Stefan Ortega deputises, having impressed in the Spurs game.
Nathan Ake and Jack Grealish are fit too, the former starting and the latter on the bench, meaning Guardiola has almost a full squad available for the trip to Wembley.
