🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[silpersurfer]

- Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
- Forest v Manchester City
Now if we don't see a surprise I'm expecting for an Aston Villa v Manchester City finale. Emery vs Guardiola... It'd be so much fun to watch in the finale. 

Nottingham forest and Newcastle has been good and equally deserve to make it to the finals. after seeing the way Newcastle celebrated their trophy, getting a second trophy will be something that will bring so much joy to the team. Manchester city where lucky to have made it this far,  in todays game, erling haland missed a penalty while Bournemouth where first to find the back to the net. he later redeemed himself by scoring an equalizer and mamoush scored a winner that gave them a place in the semi finals. forest a very good team defensively and will be hoping on getting a draw that will lead to a penalty shootout in the fixture. if Manchester city can't take enough chances to break the Nottingham forest defense, this last opportunity of getting a trophy might just slip through Manchester city's hand

Yes, the next match between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest will certainly be an interesting and challenging match for both teams. Manchester City certainly has the advantage in terms of squad quality, but Nottingham Forest has shown a solid defense and could force the match to end in a penalty shootout if City fail to take their chances.

Also there is a certain fixture between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa that is worth the wait as well. The odds are on favor to Aston Villa, true, but, as we know, Crystal Palace always knows how to stage surprises by their very fast counter-attacks posing a major threat against Villa’s defense. If Villa get a little careless, they might have trouble dealing with Palace’s aggressive game. These two games are litmus tests for teams that wish to progress in FA Cup Final

Now as all the semi finalists are decided, the updated draw:

- Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
- Forest v Manchester City

Now if we don't see a surprise I'm expecting for an Aston Villa v Manchester City finale. Emery vs Guardiola... It'd be so much fun to watch in the finale. 

Don't be too quick to write off Nottingham Forest, they might pull some surprises. Against the big 6 teams, they've got some good results this season. They've won 4, drew 3 and lost 2 and I believe they can give Manchester City a fight. Actually, I was looking at Forest or Brighton as the two teams that can knock out City and since Brighton is no more in the race, I'm throwing my weight behind Forest.

I personally think that Villa vs Palace will be way more entertaining than City and Nottingham and I also think we will see more goals in this game than in City's one. However , for me it's kinda hard to predict who will qualify further as I don't trust City at all this season no matter what competition they are in. For Villa vs Palace it's kinda the same , where literally both teams have a great chance to win and qualify further but Palace has made a lot of surprises lately and great games so I tend to pick them here.

- Forest v Manchester City

Gone are the days where we see Manchester City fixtures and then think that they are going to win the games without facing any problems. For this game against Nottingham Forest I do not think that they would have an easy game because Nottingham Forest this season have shown to be a balanced team and it has reflected on the position they occupy on the Premier League table. It is going to be  a tough fixture for both teams and maybe Nottingham's Forest first choice of a striker (Chris wood) will be back.

Manchester City are not in form this season, their performance has been so low, they are finding any club which they are playing against difficult to win. Manchester City played against Bournemouth today, I knew Manchester City will be able to win the match, but it’s going to be a difficult one for them, and what I predicted happened in the match. In previous seasons, if Manchester city will be playing against a team like Bournemouth, we all know it’s going to be a easy win for Manchester city, but this season is completely different.

Manchester City next match will be against Nottingham forest, serious I don’t really know who is going to win the match, it’s going to be kind of difficult to predict, because they both will want to get a win in the match, and as we can see Manchester City are not in form, and Nottingham forest are really playing well this season, so I don’t really know who will be getting a win in the match.

[Slow death]

There are two match left, Aston Villa should able to win easily in this match and Manchester should able to qualify for the next match, Bournemouth's performance no longer good recently.

You got it right and I believe most people also got it right that Aston Villa would win the game, and it was a very easy victory and luckily for Aston Villa is that in the next phase they will play against Crystal Palace, which is not a strong opponent, so I believe that Aston Villa will win again and reach the final. Manchester City also won, but it was a difficult victory, they conceded 1 goal and scored 2 goals, but they are unlucky that in the next phase they will have to play against a strong opponent.

I didn’t watch the match from the beginning, I only saw the last quarter of the second half when Jack Grealish was subbed in. The FA Cup is the only trophy Manchester City can hope to win this season so I expected them to win the game convincingly. I’m not so impressed with the goal margin of today’s game, a 1-2 victory over Bournemouth is not a score line I expect from Manchester City. Anyways, congratulations to Pep and his boys.

When Nico O'Reilly in, he totally change the game.

He played as a central back for replacing Khusanov, but he can contribute with two assists.

He should be given a chance to play at least a midfielder, I see that he more in contributing about creating chance instead of defending.

It's better to sub both Foden and Grealish in this season, they're very poor.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forrest would be a tough match.

Man City will face Nottingham Forest in semi final on Apr 26, 2025 and it will be a good contest to watch. Both teams are among top teams of EPL and are equally favourite to win the semi final. Nottingham Forest and Man City have close contest in quarter finals, Forest making it to semi finals on penalties while City won by a margin of goal against Bournemouth. While Fulham and Crystal Palace both won there quarter finals by a margin of 3 goals. Apart from FA cup, Man City also has chance to qualify for the champions league as there is only one point gap between Chelsea and City in EPL.

Manchester city manage to secure victory from their opponent yesterday game despite they played with all their talented players, it will be hard for them to escape in the hands of  Nottingham forest to lift the trophy because we know how strong they are in this FA cup tournament and premier league tournament.

When Manchester city was playing excellent well, I don't think Nottingham forest or other teams will challenge Manchester city in this semi final game because Manchester city have the squads to make their dream to come to reality but as it stand now, Manchester city will not be favour in this season to lift any of the trophy.

[/quote]Manchester City may have performed poorly compared to how they played in previous seasons, but no team is exempt from lapses. They could have had internal crises, and their defense was pretty weak during the match too. But, I believe they know they didn't perform well as they used to, and they must have heard fans talking too. It's only smart that they're working and training on their strategy to perform well in their next match.

I still believe they have a good shot against Nottingham Forest because no team enters the league just to lose. Although they may have performed badly, even with their top players playing in the game, it could have been caused by anything. I'm actually looking forward to the match with Nottingham Forest, if they perform poorly again, then I know maybe something is really wrong or this season is not for them. But I don't want to make conclusions from their last match.

It was a match that Manchester city barely scrape through, Haaland missed a penalty in the first half, not long after that Evanilson scored and the first half ended 1-0 to the home team. Few minutes after the break Haaland scored and leveled the team and it looks very much that Manchester city will win. A good goal from marmoush wins it for Manchester city.

It not 7 FA Cup semi finals in a row for Manchester city, no team has ever done it before in English football, it a could that might allow Manchester city not end the season without a trophy. The teams remaining are very tricky teams and Manchester city needs to be very careful, they might get knocked out.

[Cityhunter34]

Manchester City finally secured their way to semifinals, It was a very huge win for Manchester City against Bournemouth yesterday. Because due to how poor performance they had this season have really make many gamblers not to have trust on them again. because most of us was thinking that Bournemouth would going to win the game yesterday, due to how strong Bournemouth are, But unfortunately the game ended in favor of Manchester City.

Considering this is a quarter final match so we can't expect more from Man City especially since we know they are not in good form this season, I think it's okay, they won by a narrow score, what I admire about them is that their game is getting better even though there are still some shortcomings. Yes, the FA Cup is the only prize for them this season if they can get it and I think if you look at the schedule, Pep men can be expected to compete for this title, unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the other match between Fulham vs Crystal Palace because the host Fulham couldn't score a single goal.

I wasn’t expecting Manchester City to win the game as well, due to their bad trend this season, but they pulled off a surprise result and won with two goals scored. Bournemouth got the lead in the first half of the game with a goal from Evanilson 21 minutes into the game, however, their performance was poor in the second half, and they failed to maintain their winning ways, conceding 2 goals. I believe some gamblers will bet on Bournemouth to win because they look better than Man City.

However, I was shocked that Haaland missed a penalty 14 minutes into the game, which would have give them an early lead. Manchester City will face Nottingham Forest in the semifinals, which is going to be a tough game to predict, Nottingham Forest seems better than Man City this season but we don’t know what the result will be. Maybe Man City will surprise us with impressive form at the end of the season because this is their only chance to win a trophy this season.

Nottingham Forest is one club that I cannot predict or rather underestimate this season. Manchester City are going to have a tough match against Nottingham Forest. Even on the Premier League table, Nottingham Forest are sitting comfortably in 3rd and are 6 points clear off Manchester City who are 5th on the standings. The quality of Nottingham Forest this season is admirable and I cannot confidently bet City to win this match. I would rather sit this one out.

Am not surprised that city got a win in this game because I expected them to win this game because the fA cup is the only hope for Manchester City to win a silver wear this season even though they where not that fantastic in the game what matters the most is the win, but my fear is there next opponent that City will be facing and that is Nottingham Forest they have been good this season winning almost all the big sides that they have played in the leader so it's going to be a tough one for city but I just hope Forest loses form by the next match

I know that even the best players miss penalty but Haaland has been slacking lately. It seems as though he is tired of playing for Manchester City. I think Haaland was overly pampered by Pep Guardiola, he was positioned as a goal machine and for the longest time Haaland did nothing else but score goals. Now that Manchester Ciry are struggling and Kevin De Bryune isn’t in form, Haaland is expected to do more, press and create chances which I think is frustrating for him since he never had to do so in the past.

Normally this FA Cup trophy was the last hope of Manchester City this season, but because of their inconsistent is actually what makes many people to have some fear on the game, if not that who is Bournemouth to withstand Manchester City, even to the extent of winning them in the first half.

However, I think this semifinals against Nottingham forest would going to determine their stand in the FA Cup trophy this season. Because once they just beat Nottingham forest in this semifinals It will going to be quite stating for them to be the winner of FA Cup trophy this season, because among them I believe Nottingham forest is the most thoughest team.

Bournemouth have experienced a drop in their performance recently, but before you ask who they are, remember how good they were this season against all the big teams in the Premier League, won even some very unexpected games. Manchester City in my opinion should just celebrate because they scored the early goal and that inspired them to keep going to win the game. If the second goal had been scored by Bournemouth before Manchester City could get one goal, I'm not sure that they would have been able to come back because the players morale would have been very low.

Even as Manchester city have been poor this season I predicted them to actually win the this game not be because they are far better than Bournemouth but a the moment Bournemouth are simply struggling to win matches, they have been winless in like last five matches they have played in and only get passed through Wolves in 5th round just through penalties. So with this current poor form i definitely wasn’t expecting them to compete or scale through, but yet they still a good game yesterday.

As for Manchester City I think they are not still like we used to know them, they haven’t shaken off the poor start to the season they have and are still struggling to win matches. This FA cup is there only shot at any trophy this season and I think only Aston Villa seems to stand in their way right now
