The stage is set and the players are arriving...
Here's another stat for you ahead of tonight's encounter.
Manchester City and Huddersfield are the only sides yet to concede a goal in this season's FA Cup. They've scored eight apiece. Something has to give tonight, however.
This time last week, City were reflecting on a memorable Champions League victory over Monaco in the same stadium, but they face an altogether different proposition this evening.
Huddersfield are the form team of the second tier, and despite Wagner opting to make several changes for tonight, top goalscorer Elias Kachunga and the returning Nahki Wells will be on the substitutes' bench if needed.
Guardiola has backed up his pre-match words with a strong selection. The Catalan said of tonight's opponents: 'It's a final. Sometimes the teams at the top of the Championship are better than teams in the Premier League. They are so professional.'
