FA Cup
Man City firm favourites for 2026 FA Cup
Pep Guardiola’s men 4/11 to lift trophy tomorrow; Cole Palmer leads first goalscorer market
Leading bookmaker William Hill make Manchester City the firm favourites to win tomorrow’s FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola’s side are 7/10 to win Saturday’s showdown in 90 minutes and 4/11 to lift their second FA Cup in four years, attracting roughly double the stakes in both markets than opposition Chelsea.
The managerless West Londoners are conversely 19/10 to win their first FA Cup since 2018 and 7/2 to win the match in regulation time.
William Hill however expect both teams to score at Wembley (4/6), with Cole Palmer the most popular selection in the first goalscorer market (7/1), holding two-thirds of all stakes.
Chelsea – 7/2
Draw – 29/10
Man City – 7/10
Chelsea – 19/10
Man City – 4/11
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Manchester City have been backed heavily throughout the week and they go into Saturday’s FA Cup final as our clear 4/11 favourites to lift the trophy.
“Chelsea’s price reflects the uncertainty surrounding the club at the moment, particularly with the managerial situation dominating the build-up. Despite that, we’ve still seen interest in them as an underdog play, especially from customers expecting an open, high-scoring final.
“One player attracting attention is Cole Palmer, who comfortably leads our first goalscorer market. Given the narrative around facing his former club at Wembley, it’s no surprise punters expect him to have a significant say in tomorrow’s showdown.”
