TEAM NEWS
Manchester City
Sergio Aguero seemed to pick up an injury against Fulham and Guardiola has said that he won't be available for the clash with Cardiff. In that case, we could see Leroy Sane start.
Vincent Kompany has missed the last three games but could make a return for Wednesday night's game. Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph are both still unavailable.
Cardiff City
It is likely that Neil Warnock will make changes to his side after a disappointing defeat to Chelsea. Joe Ralls, Kenneth Zohore and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing may all start after having come on as substitutes against Chelsea.
Bobby Reid is also available for the Welsh side ahead of their travels to the Etihad. Callum Paterson remains out of the squad with an ankle injury, while Sol Bamba is also expected to be out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
MANAGERS' THOUGHTS
Pep Guardiola
On Aguero: "He didn’t train last two days, tomorrow he is not able. Maybe (ready for) Saturday, but we will see in the next days.
"Everyone is excited about the next weeks, but we also know we can lose everything. It’s amazing to have this opportunity, to be there. Beating Cardiff is our main target, then we go to Wembley and we want to try win a trophy I have never won.
Neil Warnock
"It’s a game we’ve got to do our best in. They’ve got two teams in their squad and I doubt any of our boys could get in either of them.
“What we have got is a team - they’re genuine lads. It was never a game we had big expectations from, but we’ve got to lift ourselves and put in a performance up in Manchester.
“In the last seven games I’m going to do the best I can with this group of lads for the fans.
"I won’t know until I look at the faces on Wednesday night whether people aren’t up for it. Three or four players had knocks on Sunday, but they all want to play.
