Pep Guardiola‘s men remain on course for an historic quadruple, with the side already having lifted the League Cup earlier this year.
But Chris Hughton, who was part of the Tottenham side that beat City and lifted the FA Cup in 1981, will be hoping for a repeat of history today when his men go up against the competition favourites. Follow the live action below:

Kevin De Bruyne starts in the Manchester City midfield and has begun to show signs of the form that lit up the Premier League during Manchester City's record-breaking 2017-18 season.
Two serious injuries have hampered his season, something the player admitted ahead of today's game, but if Manchester City do require a final boost down the stretch, having the brilliant Belgian back amongst things in fine fettle might be just the tonic:
20 minutes until kick-off.
Tangential perhaps to today's affairs, but if you haven't yet read Miguel Delaney's latest dissection of a potentially precedent-setting title race, I can only direct you towards it.
This bloke's gulling things over ahead of kick-off...
Indeed there are plenty of Brighton fans enthusiastically roaring their side on as the warm-ups are completed, tinfoil cups, seagull hats, waving flags, all the trimmings for a day out at the home of English football.
The Manchester City fans shown seem a little more withheld. Their side have already lifted one trophy here this season, while Brighton have never won at Wembley.
Kick-off is almost here..
Sergio Aguero is not in the squad this afternoon but the Argentine is at Wembley, lurking around the corner from the Manchester City bench as his manager watches on. He's dressed in a tracksuit, perhaps suggesting he was close to some form of involvement today.
On to the pitch come the players.
Anthony Taylor is the referee for the first semi-final.
