Man City winger Sterling: Special to be back at Wembley

Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling is up for their FA Cup semifinal against Arsenal tomorrow.

He will be roared on by a personal fan club of more than 60 family and friends who will be there watching him.

Sterling, 22, said: “It's Wembley, it's a big day and it's a game I'm most looking forward to, given what it meant to me growing up.

“I'm probably going to have about 60 people there. It will be a great atmosphere and a great occasion."

He told Sport 360: “Wembley is just special, it feels like my home every time I'm there.

“Special even when I'm driving close to it and where I grew up. It's just amazing and on that pitch I feel so happy.

“The Premier League's out of our sights now.

“But we still have to focus on winning our games — and the FA Cup is a massive one for us. We want to win this trophy."
