Ruben Dias’ first Man City training session
Newcastle, meanwhile, endured a miserable quarter-final defeat by Brentford during the week, which once again incited a wave of fury in Steve Bruce’s direction. The Magpies were hammered 5-2 by Leeds before rescuing a point against 10-man Fulham in the league, but they remain comfortably in mid-table, with 18 points from their 13 games this season. Eventually, though, supporters will demand more ambition from their side, who arrive at the Etihad as firm underdogs and were thrashed 5-0 in their last meeting with City in July. Follow all the action below at the conclusion of Arsenal vs Chelsea:

Man City break up the pitch after a long ball comes to Kevin De Bruyne. He carries it into the box and looks up. Sterling and Bernardo are sprinting to catch up but he goes it alone and shoots trying to beat Darlow on his near side but the Newcastle goalkeeper is up to the challenge.
