Predicted Lineups

Chelsea News:

Chelsea aim to salvage their disappointing season in the FA Cup, with heavy investment failing to meet expectations and fans disillusioned by the club’s youth-focused strategy.

While the club searches for a new permanent manager with Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola leading the race, Under-21s boss Calum McFarlane takes interim charge, hoping to become Chelsea’s first FA Cup-winning coach since Antonio Conte in 2018. Enzo Fernandez’s header secured a narrow FA Cup semi-final win over Leeds United, booking Chelsea’s 17th FA Cup final spot.

In the Premier League, Chelsea sit ninth, six points off the top six. A 1-1 draw at Liverpool ended a six-game losing streak but extended their winless run to seven league matches. An FA Cup final victory will guarantee Europa League qualification.

Estevao Willian, Jamie Gittens and Jesse Derry remain sidelined; Robert Sanchez, Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are fit to return. Reece James is back in training and in line for a start. Enzo Fernandez has registered six goal involvements in nine FA Cup games, with Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro set to lead the attack.

Manchester City News:

Manchester City have made history as the first club to reach four consecutive FA Cup finals, though they have lost the last two showpieces. Since Pep Guardiola’s arrival in 2016, City have dominated the FA Cup with outstanding wins, clean sheets and goals. They cruised through this year’s campaign and came from behind to beat Southampton in the semi-finals.

City bid to avoid three straight FA Cup final defeats and chase a domestic cup double, having won the EFL Cup already. They hold a dominant 13-game unbeaten run against Chelsea across all competitions.

Rodri remains doubtful with a groin injury; Nico Gonzalez is fit to play and could start. Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki and Nico O’Reilly are all set to start. Phil Foden impressed midweek but may be replaced by Cherki in the attacking midfield role.
