00:00.
00:10No Erling Haaland out with a minor but unspecified injury, so Julian Alvarez leads their line.
00:16Cole Palmer faces the club with which he began the season.
00:19Raheem Sterling has recovered from illness and does make the bank.
00:23One game will involve a team in light blue.
00:29And so does this one, Manchester City, who get us underway through Phil Foden,
00:32back to the German Ortega, who tends to play in the cup ties in goal.
00:39Chancu coming into this, looking to secure a second domestic cup final of the season.
00:45Manchester City one step away from consecutive FA Cup finals.
00:50And there are the holders, and there's Stones caught in possession as he canters into midfield.
00:56Caicedo.
01:00Foden snapping in.
01:03And there's Fernandes.
01:06And here's Mark Kukurea.
01:07Chelsea with Palmer.
01:25Chelsea get behind the ball, try and counter-attack.
01:30Connor Gallagher does well, Cole Palmer slips in Jackson.
01:35Aki playing him onside.
01:38Couldn't generate any accuracy, really.
01:40Always going away from the goal, slips on.
01:42Madueke.
01:44corner.
01:45Yeah, it's battered over.
01:47Albares, here's Rodri.
01:48De Bruyne.
01:49Corner off Caicedo.
01:50Albares.
01:51De Bruyne.
01:52Corner off Caicedo.
01:53Albares.
01:54Albares.
01:55De Bruyne.
01:56De Bruyne.
02:01Corner off Caicedo.
02:10Albares.
02:11De Bruyne.
02:12Albares again.
02:14Albares again.
02:21Malo Gusto.
02:28Greenish snakes have a leg.
02:33Albares.
02:39De Bruyne.
02:41Slipped in.
02:42For Phil Foden.
02:45And Foden manages to retain his balance, but not entirely the ball.
02:48Grealish.
02:50Manuel Akanji.
02:52Short of Grealish and Chelsea can breathe again.
02:57De Bruyne.
03:02Grealish.
03:04Albares.
03:05Actually struck his own man, De Bruyne.
03:09Yeah, offside.
03:14De Bruyne.
03:17Closing in on it.
03:18And it's touched behind by Jackson.
03:23Bernardo Silva.
03:26To Rodri.
03:2767 games unbeaten.
03:29In his grade for Manchester City.
03:31Grealish.
03:33Lovely ball in.
03:36Bernardo Silva.
03:38When you get the opportunity, you have to punish them.
03:41And Chelsea, as of yet, haven't.
03:44Here comes Grealish looking for De Bruyne.
03:48Saabar came across to confront him.
03:50Palma into the path of Gusto.
04:02And Jackson is central.
04:05Comes for Noni Madueke.
04:07Ake.
04:14Trevor Chalabar.
04:16Palma.
04:18Nicely done.
04:19And demands the save.
04:22This way.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Again, City poor down this side.
04:25Ake's not there.
04:26Stones can't get across.
04:27But this was lovely feats from Cole Palma.
04:30Skips past Rodri.
04:31Just doesn't send it out far enough to bend in with his left foot.
04:35It's fairly central.
04:36He could have easily gone a yard further left.
04:39Just try and bend it in.
04:40Bends it in.
04:53Rawls and the Penso Fernandes.
05:05Grealish.
05:10A free kick and the first yellow card of this semi-final.
05:14And whilst Nicolas Jackson will feel he should have scored.
05:18But Chelsea, neither side has managed to find the net.
05:20Manchester City have been untipped.
05:226-0 on Monday in the Premier League.
05:27And Lorenzo Fernandes.
05:29And it stands down is Mudrik.
05:30That's a poor clearing straight to Madueke.
05:34Chelsea.
05:35I think they might be in business there.
05:37Yeah, Manchester City caused themselves problems.
05:45Jackson.
05:46In with a chance.
05:50Left hand of Ortega saving the day for City.
05:53Cole Palma.
05:55And Jackson again.
05:57A wild effort in the end.
06:07Roger.
06:08Grealish.
06:09And Foden.
06:10It's a smart start by Petrovic.
06:12Roger.
06:13Roger.
06:15Roger.
06:20Grealish.
06:22And Foden.
06:23It's a smart start by Petrovic.
06:25Going to the Friar of Commons City.
06:27And the fans from the northwest as Gusto is caught offside.
06:28It's Colt Palma.
06:29And Gallagher.
06:30Both ready to address the ball.
06:31And it will be Palma.
06:32A bit of deflections, isn't it?
06:33A big deflection off the Manchester City wall.
06:34What on earth has happened?
06:35First quarter offside, it's Paul Palmer.
06:41And Gallagher, not ready to address the ball.
06:45And it will be Palmer!
06:47It's a bit of deflection, isn't it? Big deflection off the Manchester City wall.
06:52What on earth has happened?
06:56It's clearly off Jack Grealish, isn't it? The wall splits.
07:00What part of Jack Grealish? Yeah, it was off his arm, it looked like, didn't it?
07:10Certainly off his arm.
07:20And the other card.
07:30No rhythm at all, yet there's still family in the game.
07:41Bernardo Silva.
07:43Doku.
07:47Straight off the bench, and drawing the save from Petrovic.
07:50Doku.
07:54Doku.
07:57Alvarez.
07:58De Bruyne!
08:06I don't know whether it was, Alvarez could have hit this with his left foot, maybe.
08:10Felt it was just behind.
08:11Ake.
08:16Ake.
08:18Akanji.
08:20Doku.
08:22De Bruyne.
08:24And Bernardo Silva.
08:26Manchester City have found a way.
08:28Amidst lethargy and sluggishness.
08:33Seven minutes to play in the semi-final, as they hit the front.
08:37Hit the front.
08:43Yeah.
08:47City finally click into gear.
08:50Doku's been excellent since he come on.
08:53A lovely forward run by Kevin De Bruyne.
08:58It was tight to whether it was offside.
09:00This is nice.
09:01Look at De Bruyne's unselfish run there.
09:02Doku slips him in his way onside.
09:04And as it's fist across off the foot of Petrovic.
09:10To a free, as you like, Bernardo Silva.
09:13And all he has to do is get it on target.
09:15Comes off Cucurea in the end and flashes into the net.
09:23City have not been at their best.
09:27But they didn't have to.
09:28A flash of anger.
09:42Yeah, he commits the fouls at Bruyne, but then...
09:44It's Manchester City through to a second consecutive FA Cup final.
09:57Final.
09:59And finally.
10:00It's the final.
10:02We've got it ready for the final.
10:03And finally.
10:05Once again, the final.
10:07And finally...
10:08The final.
10:09And finally.
10:11With the final.
10:14For the final.
10:15As a final.
10:17And finally.
10:18And finally.
10:19We've got it right to call.
10:20The final.
