First up comes an FA Cup final showdown with neighbours Manchester United at Wembley a week from today.

The player in question? Nathan Ake.
Stopper Ake, amid a fine season to date, has been forced to sit out each of his side’s last five fixtures, owing to a hamstring injury picked up earlier this month.
According to The Mirror, though, the Dutchman is set for an imminent return to action, potentially as early as tomorrow, having rejoined full training alongside the rest of City’s squad this week.
