City make one change from the team which impressed in the Champions League trip to Kiev, with cup goalkeeper Willy Caballero preferred to Joe Hart

Eight of the 11 who beat Everton in the second leg of the semi-final start today, with Vincent Kompany, Bacary Sagna and Fernando replacing Martin Demichelis, Pablo Zabaleta and Fabian Delph.

Liverpool’s starting XI is unchanged from the team which beat Augsburg to set up a Europa League meeting with Manchester United.

That means Daniel Sturridge starts a second game in less than a week, with Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino in support.
