This will be City’s 28th match at the national stadium since its refurbishment was completed in 2007.

They are also vying for a third consecutive final, having beaten and lost to rivals Manchester United in the previous two years.

“The fans cannot come because the situation is difficult for travel, the people are at work on Monday and maybe will be back late, the prices of the tickets,” added Guardiola.

“I understand completely that they don’t come. I’m pretty sure they would love to go.

“We have to do it with or without them – our job is to do our best. It’s better with our people, but I’m not complaining at all – completely the opposite. I am alongside the people who would like to come but cannot.”

Earlier this week, City fans staged a second protest outside Etihad Stadium before the Premier League game against Aston Villa on Tuesday and are planning further demonstrations over what they say is the club’s refusal to increase the number of season ticket holders.

The group claims fans then have to pay up to £88 for an adult matchday ticket or up to £58 for a child, while tickets are then sold through third-party sites for inflated prices.
