The England winger remains confident despite losing their last two matches to the Blues under Thomas Tuchel in the FA Cup semi-final and at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.
“The only thing that can stop us is ourselves if I am honest,” the 26-year-old said.
“It is a game where I expect a difficult test, but at the same time I expect us to pull through.
“I think the camp is pretty relaxed. Being in finals before with this football club, that only gives you that experience of going into a final.”
“In the past we haven’t had the rub of the green and the luck that we needed,” he added. “There have been games that we should have won and certain circumstances we haven’t. That is football at the end of the day and why we keep going and love it.
“This year, we played well and also had the luck that we needed.”
