Oleksandr Zinchenko, the City left-back, says they are eyeing an unprecedented Quadruple as the Citizens are looking to clinch this season's FA Cup, Champions League, Premier League and League Cup.
"Bayern showed last year. They won everything, right? Barcelona did it as well the other year with Pep and I think of course everything is possible. We've got an unbelievable squad, the best players in the world. Why not?" Zinchenko asked.
"Inside the dressing room or inside the team I can see hungry eyes. Everyone is so hungry for the titles. That's what we want. In this period right now I would say there is a bit more than two months.
"It is the most important two months in our careers,. "Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho have been here for close to 10 years and they deserve it so we are going to try."
The last time Chelsea and City met in the FA Cup was on 21 February 2016.
Chelsea proved too strong for City as the Blues emerged 5-1 winners in the fifth round match which was played at Stamford Bridge.
