Bet on Crystal Palace vs Man CityCan Man City Win an Eighth FA Cup?
Crystal Palace’s FA Cup adventure started in January with a narrow 1-0 home victory over EFL League One side Stockport County. They beat Doncaster Rovers, Millwall, and Fulham before seeing off Aston Villa in the semi-finals at Wembley.
Man City hammered Salford City 8-0 before edging past Leyton Orient in round four. They beat EFL Championship opponents Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round before nicking a 2-1 win at Bournemouth in the quarters. The Citizens saw off Nottingham Forest at Wembley to book their place in another domestic final.
Palace have made themselves tough to beat, losing just two of their last 14 league and cup matches. However, one of those defeats came against Man City in the Premier League last month. They are undefeated in five, winning two and drawing three.
Man City’s form has picked up, with Guardiola’s troops winning seven and drawing three of their past ten matches across all competitions. Before Saturday’s goalless league draw with Southampton, the Manchester giants won five on the spin.
