However, the Owls' star striker Steven Fletcher looks like he could be in contention to start the game.

City ace Sergio Aguero is available after recovering from a minor injury in his side's Carabao Cup Final win over Aston Villa last weekend, and cup 'keeper Claudio Bravo is set to remain between the sticks.

How are the betting odds looking?

SkyBet don't fancy Wednesday's chances, and have them at 11/1 to pull off a big upset this evening in normal time, with City at 2/11. A draw after ninety minutes is priced a 6/1.

Unsurprisingly, Aguero is 2/1 favourite to be the first goalscorer, while Fletcher is a distant 11/1.

How do the two sides' form compare?

Sheffield Wednesday: L-L-D-W-L. Manchester City: L-W-W-W-W.

When is the quarter-final draw?

The draw will take place after the final whistle, and will also be live on BBC1.
