The Gunners then grew in confidence and could have had more goals, with defensive errors from both sides aplenty so far. This time it is David Silva who goes close but he cannot quiet divert De Bruyne's fizzed ball past Martinez. The club - which said in May that it was "entirely confident" of being cleared over an alleged £60million breach - had launched a concerted challenge at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.

Aubameyang drifted away from Kyle Walker and met the ball as it dropped, clipping a right-footed half-volley past Ederson from a difficult angle. Arsenal manning the barricades right now. It had trouble written all over it. It was a nightmare start to the restart for Arsenal, as they lost Pablo Mari to injury and David Luiz was sent off. Manchester City moved back top of the Premier League table with two matches left to play after a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor. What a block that is from David Luiz. The figures come a week after Manchester City's bid to derail a Uefa investigation into potential financial fair play deceptions was thrown out of sport's appeal court. But De Bruyne nearly gets his side going, but Luiz intercepts his pass into Jesus. Arsenal nearly press the self-destruct again. After a really amazing start, City appear to be struggling with playing at their usual tempo, with Ederson in particular moving it slowly. It was wave after wave of City attack but the home side were standing firm. Gabriel Jesus almost doubled our lead, but his shot was cleared off the line brilliantly by former City academy player Ben Mee. Who is Ruben Dias and can he solve Manchester City's defensive problems? A better ball that from Mendy, and Martinez cannot hold it, but Tierney is there to clear. Arsenal nearly handed City an early lead in the ninth minute with the kind of comedy defending that has become one of their hallmarks. If City do take maximum points, we will become the first English side to end a season with 14-straight wins, breaking Arsenal’s record of 13 set in 2001-02. When Arsenal kept the ball long enough to fashion any kind of a foray forward, City looked alarmingly open at the back. Kevin De Bruyne plays the ball a little behind him after a corner is cleared to him, but he spoons his effort high and wide.

Record-breaking broadcasting deals ensured Manchester City posted a new high of £535million in revenue, despite marginal falls in both matchday and commercial profits last season. The opening exchanges were somewhat predictable: City were dominating possession and trying to construct intricate moves, but Burnley were-organised and direct, breaking up play and hitting Chris Wood whenever possible. It is De Bruyne who takes the free-kick and manages to get it up and down, but it goes just wide. Raheem Sterling cuts inside and looks destined to halve the deficit. A real smash-and-grab goal from the Gunners, who have had to defend a lot but have now broken again to double their lead. Mayhem in the Arsenal box after Laporte fails to head the ball towards goal before a goalmouth scramble sees the Gunners put it behind for another corner. It was close though, with Mendy nearly keeping him on. Ederson gifts the ball to the onrushing Xhaka, and Aubameyang receives the ball with back to goal.

The comments below have not been moderated. It is the system that seems to get the best out of David Luiz - or do most to protect him, depending on your point of view – and after some heart-stopping early exchanges, Arsenal used it well. Pep Guardiola looks a little concerned on the touchline, with City not quite playing through the lines as they usually do. Arsenal were in the final. Difficult hurdle cleared, This game was seen by many as a difficult assignment. The Gunners are being kept in their own half in possession before Martinez launches the ball to Aubameyang, who cannot keep it in play. City dropped points at Turf Moor last season, with their direct approach causing us difficulties. Bernardo struck a powerful effort from point-blank range, but Heaton, who was emerging as the games’ stand-out performer, was equal to it. Sergio Aguero's second-half goal sealed the three points, with City now two wins away from being crowned champions. Now it's David Luiz who rescues his side, heading out a Mahrez cross which was destined for the head of Gabriel Jesus. It was also the most significant victory yet for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who has only been in charge at the Emirates since December but is already effecting improvements in attitude and style. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of football. The last time they did the second oldest living person in the world (Lucille Randon) was nine days old.

It is City who get us underway at Wembley after taking the knee in the first FA Cup semi-final this season. The club's wage to turnover ratio had risen significantly, from 52 per cent in 2017/18, to 59 per cent. Dani Ceballos also comes off after another impressive display, with Kolasinac on for him. Bernardo Silva’s left-footed strike was saved comfortably by Tom Heaton, before David Silva’s effort was blocked inside the box by James Tarkowski. City were widely expected to win this match and claim the FA Cup as their consolation prize for losing the Premier League but they spurned chance after chance and never looked at their best. City's wage bill has surged to £315million from £260million the previous season, the annual report shows, after a number of bumper new contracts were agreed with some of the club's stars over the past 12 months. Arsenal are 22 points behind City and have scored 40 fewer goals, but that does not appear to be the case so far. Runs all day, makes blocks and tackles, provides a superb range of passing and is a real team player. Even with nine substitutes, Arteta could not find any room for either Mesut Ozil or Matteo Guendouzi in his squad. There's no room for Rob Holding in the XI after his performance against Liverpool, with Shkodran Mustafi coming in. This is the City we had expected to play during the first half, and they are now zipping the ball around with some pace. Arsenal are languishing in ninth place in the Premier League but suddenly their season has new life. Arsenal settled into a state of siege. That looks quite ugly from Shkodran Mustafi, but he appears to slip before bringing down a tricky David Silva.

City are putting balls into the box now but are getting little success due to the height of Luiz and Mustafi, but the Gunners are having to work very hard now.

Champions League football is off the cards but a trophy is still in sight. Premier League to tell Championship bail-out is dependent on introduction of salary cap, Beat Chelsea?

A fantastic result for the Gunners, who are into their fourth FA Cup final since 2014. ⚽️ Welcome to the Official Real Madrid C.F. However, this year's profit increase was fuelled mainly thanks to rising handouts from the Premier League and Champions League TV rights deals, which rose for City from £211.5million in 2017-18 to £253.2million. It appears Maitland-Niles will be part of a midfield trio at Wembley, rather than the expected wing-back role. Rio Ferdinand believes it is up to Eric Garcia to prove that he can be the partner to Laporte in City's defence, but has praised his calmness and reading of the game. It is easy to mock Arsenal’s talent for self-destruction but the goal was crafted from the courage to stick to their plan of playing the ball out from the back and beating the City press. The clean sweep of domestic honours helped the club secure a £10.1million profit, the eleventh consecutive year of growth under the ownership of Abu Dhabi royal family. Laporte heads over the resulting free-kick before we take the first drinks break. The resulting corner then forces Ederson into action, tipping over Mustafi's header. De Bruyne drilled a cross to the near post but Silva sidefooted it wide. Tierney is not there to support and the Algerian fires towards the near corner, but Argentine Martinez stretches out an arm to block the effort and hold. Disappointing from Maitland-Niles there, who hits his cross straight at Ederson with six team-mates in the box after another Arsenal break. David Luiz intercepts and slips in the Gabon striker, who uncharacteristically blasts the ball at Ederson rather than bending the ball past him. Predictably, Manchester City have had the majority of the ball so far and are stroking the ball about nicely, meanwhile Maitland-Niles does appear to be hugging that left touchline. Arsenal make another change, with Torreira coming on for Lacazette, with Joe Willock also having come on. Riyad Mahrez finally gets some joy and squares Maitland-Niles up before cutting in. Rodri curls over from the angle, and that should be that. Kevin de Bruyne floated a ball to the back post, Riyad Mahrez nodded it back across goal and it was hacked clear before City could apply the finishing touch. Benjamin Mendy tracks Lacazette but his behind him, so Ederson has to come to claim the cross from the Ivorian. Kyle Walker slipped and lost possession, Jeff Hendrick played Wood in with a fine through ball, but the striker’s first touch let him down and Ederson was out quickly to save at his feet. Arsenal survive another chance before the second drinks break is taken. Sterling tried to play the ball inside to give Gabriel Jesus a tap-in but Mustafi’s blushes were spared when the pass was intercepted and the danger cleared. City did not learn from their escape though. Finally, the Burnley goal was breached when Aguero, superb throughout, scored with a left-footed effort from six yards out after Bernardo found him with a fine pass into his feet. It was Aguero’s 20th Premier League goal of the season - the sixth time he has managed 20 or more in a single campaign. The Gunners cannot afford too much more of that.

Manchester City earned a momentous reprieve in one competition last week but in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley with only 90,000 empty seats as judge and jury, they could not escape their sentence. Arsenal have not lost an FA Cup tie to Manchester City in 116 years. Aymeric Laporte ballooned one over earlier, but he goes ever so close here with his weaker foot, bending an effort just past Emi Martinez's post. City raised the bar last year and the Merseysiders have met the challenge, creating a memorable scrap for supremacy between two of the finest sides in English football history. Plenty for both manages to ponder right now in this fascinating tie. "This strategic planning has allowed us to create an environment in which continued on-pitch success is both possible and likely, and financial sustainability is a reality," he said. Mustafi limps off and it doesn't sadly look like cramp, as Holding comes on, while Fernandinho replaces David Silva. The period covers a campaign when City's men's and women's teams won a combined six trophies, including the treble of English domestic honours for Pep Guardiola's side. Kieran Tierney has been excellent since the restart and the left-back does brilliantly again to deny David Silva an opener.

Aubameyang advanced on Ederson and slid the ball underneath him. Luiz has been roundly criticised since the restart but he received a ringing endorsement from Pep Guardiola last week when the City manager said he laughed when he heard pundits dismissing his talent. This will, at the very best, be David Silva's penultimate game for Manchester City at Wembley, and the Spanish magician has delivered many a stunning performance over the last decade against the Gunners. Bukayo Saka is the other man to miss out, with utility and versatile man Ainsley Maitland-Niles in at left wing-back. Pepe burst forward down the Arsenal left and then laid a pass back to Tierney. It's hard to imagine an FA Cup semi-final without any fans walking down Wembley Way and packing out the stadium, but this one still promises to be an exciting affair.

Overwhelmed by Liverpool in the league, this defeat was a rude shock for Guardiola and his team. Aubameyang was clean through but he hit his shot straight at Ederson, who saved it easily. This one was a victory for the apprentice over his old master as Arteta plotted a way past his former boss, Pep Guardiola. Now it is City's turn to make a defensive mistake. By then, Kieran Tierney had already had to make a separate last-ditch clearance. After a slightly disjointed opening period, City started the second half far more aggressively. Two minutes added on at the end of this half. City could scarcely believe it but their consternation was complete a few minutes later when Sterling seemed about to bring them back into the match as he turned past Mustafi and lined up a shot. High risk, high reward... What an intriguing first half that was from Wembley. Those two goals from Arsenal have come from Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny at the Etihad. The last time Arsenal beat Man City was in the 2017 FA Cup semi final. This fixture does not hold good memories for Garcia though, having suffered a bad injury after colliding with Ederson during the first game of the restart. #EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/BoRKrCOFqQ.

It is a day out as much as a football match, a day to dream of the final and sing about putting the champagne on ice. Will Arsenal fancy themselves in a one-off cup tie? City looked somewhat tense, and our final ball was failing us. Manchester City started the brighter and it appeared a matter of time before they opened the door, but after missing a clear chance, Aubameyang put the Gunners ahead with a fine back-post finish. The corner comes after a VAR review for a foul on Sterling from the German, but the defender does get the ball and the penalty claim is dismissed. Not this time. There have been rumours of him departing in the summer but he represents Mikel Arteta's curveball today. Only against Leeds have Arsenal ever lost more consecutive matches in their history (two runs of 8). Meanwhile Mendy tests Emi Martinez with a volley. Liverpool have 91 points, already the second-highest amount they have collected in their 127-year history. Leicester visit the Etihad on Monday 6, before a final-day trip to Brighton’s Amex Stadium. Here, there were groundsmen forking the pitch and music echoing around an empty Wembley. They drew 2-2 at Chelsea on Monday evening, disrupting the home side’s play and posing a threat from set pieces. The Gunners want a foul on Ceballos but Sterling is fed through by De Bruyne and his cross is cut out by the Scot. Unleashed. The Gunners were resolute in defence and the frsutration belongs to City. A man who has plenty of associations with both clubs, but now he will be hoping to lead the Gunners to victory over his former side. As the ball sped towards goal, Luiz flung himself at it and blocked it with his right leg. Arteta stayed true to the same system he had used in Wednesday’s victory over champions Liverpool at the Emirates and lined up with Kieran Tierney on the left side of a back three.

On cue, Luiz intercepted a long ball forward, chested it down, and played a slide-rule pass through to Aubameyang. The empty stadium seemed particularly stark here. City survived a late Burnley onslaught thanks to some fine defending, and the celebrations in the away end at full-time were evidence of just how important these three points are. City will now be able to pour everything into their pursuit of the Champions League but if they show the same vulnerability at the back in the second leg of their second round match against Real Madrid as they did here against Arsenal, the Spanish champions will fancy their chances of overhauling their first leg deficit. Even though they had nearly come unstuck earlier, this time they had the skill and the confidence to work it perfectly. Surprisingly for all, Kevin De Bruyne does not catch the strike cleanly after a corner is cleared, before offside is given against Sterling. Arsenal running down the clock well here, as Willock draws a foul from Laporte. But the Brazilian throws his body at the shot and blocks it over for a corner. Pep Guardiola seemed to be telling his players to move the ball quicker and take fewer touches during the break. Arsenal get us back underway, and there are no changes from either side. He may have missed one before, but there is no mistake from Aubameyang here. Arsenal will play either Manchester United or Chelsea in the final on August 1. Task. Pepe delivers a delicious cross into the box and it is inviting for Aubameyang, who pokes home at the far post, via the woodwork. It is starting to feel increasingly likely that neither will be at the club next season, although finding someone to pay Ozil’s wages has always been put forward as the biggest stumbling block to the Germany midfielder moving on. Arsenal deserve credit for that, too, because they harried City out of their stride. Whether he slots in to a midfield alongside Ceballos or Xhaka, or plays on the left, or a little of both, remains to be seen. He worked extremely well in tandem with De Bruyne and dictated the game at the Etihad last month and would have got on the scoresheet barring a fine Leno save. It was once again Aubameyang who finished cooly, with Kieran Tierney playing a ball over the top for the Gabon striker to chase.
