Despite intense speculation surrounding a potential move to Manchester City, Alexis Sanchez will start Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Chelsea, reports The Guardian.
City have submitted a £20m offer to Arsenal for Sanchez, whose contract with the Gunners expires at the end of this season.
Pep Guardiola’s side are confident of landing the Chilean for free in the summer but with Gabriel Jesus out for two months with an injury, City are hoping to acquire Alexis in January.
