What TV channel is Man City vs Brighton FA Cup semi-final on? Kick-off time, team news, odds and predictions

Man City will be looking to take one step further in their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple when they face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

City go into the clash at Wembley off the back of a comfortable 2-0 win against relegation strugglers Cardiff City, in which several players were rested.

David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, Nicolas Otamendi and Kyle Walker were all rotated out, although the latter had to come on after just twenty minutes following an injury to Aleks Zinchenko.

Brighton, on the other hand, prepared for the game by being soundly beaten 3-0 by Chelsea. Chris Hughton played a strong side and only rotated his attackers.

Solly March suffered a calf injury and had to be withdrawn.

He is a doubt for Saturday as is Jurgen Locadia and influential play-maker Pascal Gross will miss out with a hamstring injury.

A victory would see City through to the tournament's final on May 18, to face either Watford or Wolves, and make the dream of the quadruple even closer to becoming reality.
