Chelsea v Manchester City – Saturday, 3pm

View all available markets at William Hill.

• Calum McFarlane is the man in charge of Chelsea until the end of the season and given the dismal campaign that Chelsea have endured thus far, the Blues almost owe it to their fans to bring home some silverware.
• However, Chelsea are in freefall having won just three of their last twelve games (L8, D1), all three victories have come in this competition though and the Blues are the 10/3 outsiders with William Hill to win this one inside 90 minutes.
• History of this fixture suggests that Chelsea could struggle here having won none of their last thirteen meetings with Manchester City (L10, D3), whilst they’ve lost six of their last eight FA Cup meetings with City.
  ——————————–
• Manchester City beat the current FA Cup holders Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday night to move within two points of Arsenal with just two games left to play, the title might be out of their hands but they’ll be hunting down an eighth FA Cup. 
• Pep Guardiola’s side travel to Wembley looking to stop the run of two FA Cup finals without a win, defeat here would see them become just the second side to three three consecutive FA Cup finals, following Chelsea’s record.
• Manchester City’s last defeat against Chelsea came back in the 2020/2021 Champions League final, this is the third time this season that City have played at Wembley where they’ve won both outings thus far, punters can back City to make it three wins in three visits here at 7/10 with William Hill.
