    Manager Vitor Pereira has confirmed that goalkeeper Jose Sa is set to return from the injury he suffered during his pre-match warm-up before Wolves' win at Manchester United last weekend.

    Dan Bentley deputised for Sa in the victory, which was their fifth in a row in the Premier League.

    "Sa is OK. He is working with the team and in a condition to help," the Wolves boss said, speaking before Saturday's game against Leicester City.

    "[Jean-Ricner] Bellegarde and Hwang [Hee-chan] - they worked yesterday with the team and I think they will also be able to be fit for the team."

    RE: FA Cup finals...Blackburn Rovers won the FA Cup in 1884 with a 2–1 victory over Scottish side Queens Park (Glasgow). The same teams met in the final the next season, with Blackburn Rovers winning 2–0. Rovers won the FA Cup again in 1886, defeating West Bromwich Albion after a replay. That's 3 years in a row I believe.

    Chelsea: 2020 v Arsenal, 2021 v Leicester, 2022 v Liverpool. Lost all three.

    James, Liverpool

    Correct. So if Manchester City were to repeat that feat, they would follow on from Chelsea's three-in-a-row. #consistent

  6. Remember we asked you which clubs had reached three FA Cup finals in a row?

    The answers have been flooding in. We knew you wouldn't let us down...

    James in Liverpool seems to want to start by talking about Chelsea.

  7. 'The biggest thing is the Premier League'

    Nottm Forest v Man City (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says it would be 'less damaging' to the club, if they were to win the FA Cup this season: "We have to make the final first. Too many matches this season have not been good. We will avoid bigger damage for the club [if we win the FA Cup].

    "From my point of view, the biggest thing in the season is the Premier League.

    "The FA Cup keeps us safe. But the Premier League dictates how good your season has been, and it has not been good, but it could be worse.

    "It is in our hands and we have an opportunity to be three in a row in the final of the FA Cup. Hopefully, we can do it."

  8. Guardiola on 'incredible' Nuno

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has an appreciation for Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo: "He has been incredible, qualifying for Europa League with Wolves and now with Nottingham Forest. He has done a really good job.

    "The guys have good skills, and I admire that they defend well and have a good spirit. They have the transition with top, top players up front. The owner invests with top, top players. The results are here."

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland is training individually as he nears a return from injury: "He is getting better and he is injured and been involved (off the pitch) as well.

    "He can be 10 more years here and I am sure he wants more than anyone else to be in the Champions League next season.

    "He feels better but I don't know when (he will be back). The injury is not a comfortable one, I would say. He is not a small guy, but he is getting better. We will see in the next days how he is."

  10. Guardiola 'loves' Rodri's influence

    More from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Rodri being in and around the squad despite his injury: "I love that. I love that. The guy doesn't play and I allow him to be a manager. He will help the guys there and it is the way we create a team. It is something special when the guys who are injured and don't play, they help each other. I like it a lot."

  18. Venue change 'would make sense'

    In 2022, former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson along with Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram - the mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool - called for the semi-final between Manchester City and Liverpool be switched to a venue in the north.

    Engineering works meant no trains were running from either city to or from London that weekend.

    Henderson said: "In my head it would make sense obviously to change it to a [different] neutral venue, especially with it being two teams from the north-west."

    Burnham and Rotheram - in a joint letter to the FA - said: "We believe the most obvious solution is to move the game to a more accessible stadium and offer to work constructively with you to make that happen."

    The FA provided free travel for 5,000 supporters to and from Anfield or the Etihad Stadium.

  19. Should FA Cup semi-finals be played at Wembley?

    Wembley archGetty Images

    FA Cup semi-finals have been held at Wembley since 2008.

    Previously, neutral grounds including Villa Park, Old Trafford and Hillsborough hosted the fixtures - but in 2003 it was announced they would take place at the 'new' Wembley, after its rebuild.

    What do you think? Should semi-finals be held at Wembley?

    Does it take away from the novelty of playing at the national stadium in the final?

    Or is it fitting that the semi-finals are played at Wembley? After all it is the biggest stadium in the country.

    Let us know using the thumps up and thumbs down.
