Man City midfielder Toure: We're up for Chelsea

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is confident they will be up for their FA Cup semi with Chelsea.

The two teams meet at Wembley tomorrow.

Toure told City's website: "We have a really tough challenge because Chelsea are a very good team and they have some fantastic players and to beat them we will have to be at our very best.

"We were faced with a similar challenge against Manchester United in 2011 and it was because we fought so hard and played really well that we beat them - the same is required on Sunday and we can't leave the pitch with any regrets.

"I'm very focused on what we have to do and the whole team is and if we win, we will have done so because we deserve it.

"Wembley is a very special place for me and I have some great memories from our last FA Cup run, particularly the semi-final and final for obvious reasons so I hope I can experience more great moments this season."
