They may be out of the Premier League title race, but Manchester City still have a chance to get one over on Chelsea this season.
Both clubs are set to come together in the FA Youth Cup final, with the first leg being held at City's Academy Stadium on Monday, 20 April.
Chelsea are favourites to lift the cup for a fourth time in six years, continuing their dominance in the competition.
Like their first team, however, City have some talented stars within their ranks, and they will be confident of preventing Chelsea from retaining the trophy they last won by defeating west London neighbours Fulham in the final.
Incidentally, the last time City got this far in the FA Youth Cup was back in 2008. That year, they faced Chelsea, beating them 4-2 on aggregate to be crowned champions.
A certain Daniel Sturridge featured for City that season and has since gone on to enjoy a fine career.
Who could emulate him? Bleacher Report highlights three players to look out for.
