You can find out all you need to know regarding both teams ahead of their duel here, including the possible Man City vs Sheffield Utd lineups:
Man City

Ortega – Stones, Dias, Laporte – Lewis, Rodri – Mahrez, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish – Haaland

On top of that, they reached the semi final of FA Cup, which is clearly a huge success and eliminating Man City would be an upset for the ages.
When it comes to team news, Enda Stevens, Rhian Brewster, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Ben Osborn, and Jack O'Connell are out with injuries, while James McAtee and Tommy Doyle are Man City loanees and they won't be able to play against their parent club.
Sheffield Utd Predicted Lineup:
Foderingham – Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson – Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Fleck, Lowe – McBurnie, Ndiaye
