Looking at this semi-final, we are presented with two financial behemoths of the footballing world.

On one hand, you have the UAE controlled Citizens. On the other, the American owned Blues. This truly has the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Despite having more capital than Warren Buffett's rainy day fund, Chelsea have not been able to turn their financial assets into on-field success. 

For the last couple of years, the Blues have been in dire straits when it comes to their performances – something which adds an extra layer of importance to this fixture.

Mauricio Pochettino's men already missed out on a trophy this season after losing to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. This weekend, the Blues have a second opportunity at cup glory.

Man City are not immune to desperation. Following their European exit at the hands of Real Madrid, there is a bit of pressure on Pep Guardiola's men to come away with a double this season at the very least.

In this battle of cash and desperation, we're backing the Citizens to come out on top.

City may be somewhat exasperated following their continental ordeal, though they remain the stronger side on paper.

Man City to progress to the final in a high-scoring affair is the way to go. Guardiola's men to win 3-2 in the correct score market will offer plenty of value. Over 3.5 goals is a safer option.
