Chelsea's FA Cup pedigree
Chelsea has a storied relationship with the FA Cup, having won the competition eight times. Their last success was in 2018 when they beat Manchester United thanks to an Eden Hazard penalty, and the Blues will be desperate to add a ninth crown when they meet Man City.
What about Man City?
Manchester City has won the FA Cup seven times and is on the hunt for a domestic double, having already lifted the Carabao Cup in the 2025-26 campaign. By reaching the 2026 final, they've become the first team in history to appear in four consecutive FA Cup finals, although they'll desperately want to make up for defeats in the last two.
