Pope Poised For Cup Call

Nick Pope looks likely to be the man charged with trying to repel Manchester City’s star-studded attack as the Clarets bid to stop City’s trophy charge.

The reigning Premier League champions reached the final of the Carabao Cup in mid-week as they completed a 10-0 semi-final victory over Burton Albion.

Pep Guardiola’s side are still in the Champions League and chasing down Liverpool in the domestic title race after scoring their 100th goal of the season in last weekend’s 3-0 win at Huddersfield Town.

But Burnley will be bidding to put an early halt to City's aspirations of winning an unprecedented quadruple with an FA Cup upset at the Etihad Stadium.
