The 145th instalment of the world’s oldest cup competition has reached the final stage, with Chelsea facing Manchester City in Saturday’s showpiece event at Wembley.

Chelsea are seeking their first FA Cup title since 2018, losing in three finals since beating Manchester United at Wembley eight years ago. The Blues are playing in their 17th final in the competition and searching for a ninth triumph, but their disastrous form leaves them fearing the worst against Man City.

Pep Guardiola’s side are competing in their fourth successive FA Cup final, but defeats at Wembley to Man Utd and Crystal Palace over the past two seasons have left a sour taste. They can take nothing for granted despite being favorites to equal Chelsea’s record of eight titles in the competition.

The stakes are through the roof for Saturday’s one-off showdown, so here’s how to tune into the action.

What’s Next for Chelsea, Man City?

Chelsea have the chance to thrust Tottenham Hotspur toward the Championship when they welcome their London rivals to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Their penultimate fixture of the campaign is followed by a trip to Sunderland on the final day.

The Premier League title is still on the line for City, even if the race is no longer in their hands. A trip to Bournemouth on Tuesday and home clash with Aston Villa the following weekend are awkward fixtures as they hope for slip-ups from league leaders Arsenal.
