City to bring back Richards

Richards did not play in the first leg at Anfield as he has broken into the first team. However, with Liverpool leading 3-0 in the tie and since Man City don't have a first team game on Saturday, Richards may face the Reds in tonight's second leg.

Manchester City Academy director Jim Cassell said: "It would be great if Micah was available because he grew up as part of this team.

"All the lads respect him, both as a team-mate and for what he has achieved and it would be nice to think he could play in a final with them."
