#3 Joao Cancelo
Joao Cancelo has had his breakout season with the Citizens this season. The Portuguese has been in and out of the team in recent weeks but his impact on City's season cannot be underestimated. There was a lot of talk when Cancelo was bought for a hefty fee but it seems to be paying off when one sees the bigger picture.
Cancelo has casually drifted into midfield from defence many a times this season and has dominated proceedings. If the 26-year old does start to find space in the game against Chelsea, he could very well hurt Tuchel and his team.
#2 Jorginho
Midfield battles win you matches and a lot of eyes will be on Jorginho in this game. He will be without his partner in crime Kovacic in that midfield, which is a big loss for Chelsea. Jorginho likes to keep the ball and control the game from his own half. He acts as a deep lying playmaker and dictates the tempo of the game.
This might work with most teams on the planet but with Manchester City he will be up the likes of De Bruyne, Rodri and Gundogan and might have his work cut out.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin de Bruyne has been in a league of his own this season. City's #17 has 8 goals and 15 assists in all competitions this season and his creation rates are off the chart. Pep Guardiola was in awe of his talisman's performances in a recent press interaction and said that the midfielder is approaching optimum fitness during the most crucial stage of the season.
The Belgian has a good record against his former club and will be looking to improve on that in this semi-final. One thing is certain, if De Bruyne starts dominating the game, Chelsea are in for a long evening.
