🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[hyudien]

Yes, Manchester City is not in their best form, but I still can't say that Crystal Palace is better than Manchester City based on my statistics for this season. Despite Manchester City's form, see where they are in the table compared to Crystal Palace, and it is clear even from their head-to-head record that Manchester City is the favorite to win the game and the FA Trophy.However, the truth is that anything can happen. Crystal Palace may be lucky to win the trophy, but I don’t think they have as good a chance as Manchester City does. In fact, it has been a while since a big team playing against an average or weak team in an FA final lost, no matter how good the underdog was that season. This is often because these teams lack experienced players to handle the pressure of a final.So, even in the upcoming final between Manchester City and Crystal Palace, I have more confidence in Manchester City, even if their performances are worse than they are current because they have great squad which can turn the performances any time.

No one will argue that Man City are the favorites but remember this is a final, there is a trophy to be won and those who reach this stage have the power to beat each other. Remember the Carabao Cup final? Liverpool are the favorites, their performance at that time was very impressive but the fact is they lost to Newcastle who at that time were not quite as stable. So it is not impossible for Crystal Palace to follow Newcastle footsteps in the FA final tomorrow. Honestly I don't have enough faith in Man City especially after being held to a draw by Southampton last week but when I saw the odds given by the bookies, I was quite tempted to place a straight win. hopefully there will be no surprises at Wembley later.

I know bookies made Manchester City a favorite in FA Cup final match but I just dont trust them this season.
Odds for Crystal Palace are crazy good but I dont know if they can stay composed for the whole match to win the trophy.
This could save the season for Man City as they dont have guaranteed spot for Champions League.
Safest bet for me here is over on goals and odds are good on Sportsbet:

This will be the 144th FA Cup final which will be played tomorrow at the Wembley stadium, the result of this game still remain unpredictable on who will win the 144th FA Cup trophy since anything is possible in football, though Manchester City seems favorite to win the tittle but but since it is football we can actually expect some surprises.
Congratulations in advance on which team captain will left the Emirates FA Cup tittle in 2024/2025 season.

Indeed, it will going to be a very though one for both teams tomorrow. Because considering their present performances now I think they are both equal. and even though is an FA Cup final, so everything is quite possible to happen in this game. However, I think a 90 minutes draw might likely be possible. although to be honest Manchester City seems to be the winner of the game, but due to unpredictable of football everything is possible until full-time whistle.

Well I do not think the final is going to be that difficult for Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team against Crystal Palace, the performance of both them may be measured by their present form right now but you can't take the experience of Pep Guardiola when it comes to the finals away cause he knows how to win against any good team especially when it comes to finals.

Crystal Palace will prove stubborn like they are supposed to do but I still see Manchester City as the favourite because they have the better squad and a more experienced team.

Finals are not always an easy game because it is believe that for a team to get to that stage that might have overcome somany circumstances, it won't be as easy as you think for Manchester City to beat Crystal palace as both team will play with so much determination and seriousness knowing that there is a reward at the end of it.  Crystal palace will definitely prove stubborn and can turn things around for Manchester City as nothing is impossible when it comes to football.

Why do you think the final is going to be easy for Manchester city? It’s a final, and you should know that final is not always easy, when it’s come to final, it’s always unpredictable, and I don’t really think the final is going to be easy for Manchester City, crystal palace isn’t really a strong team, but I know they will also do everything possible to win the Cup final.

I expect Manchester city to win the FA cup final, but am not so sure about that yet, crystal palace shouldn’t be underestimated, they might end up surprising everyone, and as we can see Manchester city performance isn’t that good this season, am not really satisfied with the way they are playing, but since it’s going to be the final, and that’s the only trophy which they will be able to win this season, they will want to do everything possible to get a win in the match, but it’s not going to be a easy match.

I think both Crystal Palace and Manchester City are equal, the difference is only the popularity and market value.

The risk to bet on Crystal Palace is too high, maybe draw will likely to happen. If we check on head to head, the last time Crystal Palace beat Manchester City was in 2018, so for 6 years, Crystal Palace not able to beat Manchester City.

@3.65 is a good odds.

Well I think you should be more clear and should mention that they are equal this season because the usual Manchester City we all know are not to be compared with Crystal Palace, they are far better than them but this season the poor performance of Manchester city is what makes them equal and that's why we all doubt if they win the game.
Even with their inconsistent performance betting on Crystal Palace win is more risky but they cannot be underestimated in this game, we have seen how good they can be sometimes and the damage they can inflict on big teams. From their head to head Manchester City are clearly better because it's been a while they lost a game so I think they have an advantage to win this trophy.

I don't understand why Manchester City is considered equal to Palace when we have a scenario like this:

Manchester City = 36 Premier League games, 19 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses and currently occupies position number 5 in the table and has a chance of getting a place in the European Champions League and even if they don't, they can still go to the Europa League or Conference League

Crystal Palace = 36 Premier League games, 12 wins, 13 draws, 11 losses and currently occupy position number 12 in the table and have no chance of getting a place in European competitions

These two teams are the same, even compared to the results of the last 5 games we have a very different scenario





In the last 5 games Manchester City has done well, they managed to recover from the bad period they went through, and it is true that these cup games often bring surprises, but Manchester City has historically been better in games against Palace, so I bet on Manchester City's victory with odds of @1.80

This match is a cup final so bringing the starts of a different competition is not in order crystal Palace may not be doing well in the league but winning this cup could see them go to Europe plus they are ready as a club to win a trophy Newcastle did it against Liverpool this season I believe palace can do it against Manchester City because truth be told Manchester City too are not that fantastic this season this game is a 50/50 match because both teams needs a win at all cost

Crystal Palace have shown that in these last few weeks in the Premier League they have improved.  I will not judge Manchester City's performance from the draw they had last week against Southampton, because this is a final and they are very experienced in playing finals with the number of trophies that they have won. It is going to be a close call, I imagine both teams not making things easy for the other.

I still see Manchester City winning it.

Manchester City have been totally poor this season and frankly speaking that is understandable in my opinion not because of anything but because they have dominated the league for the past four to five seasons so it is logical to actually that the players are now worn out due to fatigue plus we Manchester city have actually had many injury crisis this season compared to the past season which to me is simply the reason for their performance. But frankly speaking they have actually been great since they spent €200m in the winter transfer.

For Crystal palace they haven’t been bad either as they have looked good in the last few games and they aren’t new to the cup finals because they were here in 2016 and only got defeated by Manchester United, frankly speaking they can use this experience to create problems for Manchester city. But seriously this is Manchester city only hope for a trophy this season they will be going all out to get it

Today will be the FA Cup final match between Man City vs Crystal Palace. Since it is a final match, both the teams are strong, so I expect the match to be competitive. But between these two teams, Man City will be the favorite, we have seen that in the last Premier League match, Man City won against Crystal Palace by a huge margin of 5-2 goals. Also, Man City is far ahead in the head to head record, in the last 5 matches between these two teams, Man City has won 3 matches and 2 matches have been drawn. Crystal Palace has done quite well in their last 5 matches. However, based on past and current performance, I would put Man City ahead and I would bet on Man City. Now let's see which team can win the final match.

Yes I understand what you mean but I know that we are deliberating on this matter because of the current form of Manchester City right?  Crystal Palace is a stubborn team but can they withstand the pressure from Manchester City when City was still in good form..... Well I'm not going to give City the trophy as if it's going to be a total easy game but with their experience and the kind of manager they have that's one way I think they are still the favorite regardless.

Final is pressure game and Crystal Palace football team has no pressure because they accepted that there will be nothing different if they will lose this match. Crystal Palace  has no good head to head performance but it doesn't matter because team will win which will play well and will apply pressure from the start of match and team will win which will do less mistakes in this match. In my opinion, no team is is favorite because both teams are doing well in the field but you could be right because Man City has capacity to be dominant in this match. Players have to put all effort if they want to be successful in this match.Top players should work well and they have to stop balls because that is" do or die " situation because that is final round.

Man City have a good record against Crystal Palace, but I expect this game to be a tight one because Crystal Palace will not give up so easily. They have a strong motivation to win this game as it is a ticket to the Europa League next season, and this will be their first FA Cup trophy if they can win. Man City is indeed a big team and has many good players, but they can still be defeated (especially this season), so Crystal Palace still has a chance in this final.

Interestingly, this is the third final in a row for Man City, but can they win it this time? because previously they lost to Man United, even though Man City was so dominant last season.

Manchester City will always be favourites every night..every day, as far as crystal palace is concerned, but I will be supporting palace on this one. No hard feelings, but sometimes, these smaller teams needs to feel among. Manchester City and Liverpool dominated the premier league for about a decade, while other teams remained average. The players will certainly do the talking on the pitch, but all my support is for Palace in this one.

But in case Crystal Palace fails to win it, then massive credits to them. Making it to the FA cup final when there are other better sides in the Premier league was not an easy task. If I was asked before the start of the season, I wouldn't place palace on my list to make it to the finals, but they did, so that's already an achievement if you ask me. Good luck to both sides.

Is Crystal Palace about to sum up Manchester City's poor run to go without a trophy 🏆 in this FA Cup, and knowing very well that Palace can be a menace when they want as they play some good football when they have the right opponent and today seems to be City who will likely be the casualty.

City will try to push for a comeback, but I see this game ending 1-0 as is...Citeh prove me wrong.

I'm not sure it will end like this, maybe if there's no other goal in the first half, there will be a goal or goals in the second half. As usual, Manchester eis with the ball and have all the possessions but Crystal Palace will hit them on the break just as they did earlier. Crystal Palace would have even scored again after the lead if not for the keeper who kept the ball out. Both teams are excellent in their various roles, City pressing and Palace absorbing the pressure.
City lost the final last season to Manchester United will they repeat it again today against Palace, only time will tell.

Even after getting a penalty, Man City failed to equalize. Man City still dominates the match, Crystal Palace got the lead by one goal, but I'm not sure they can maintain the situation until the end of the match. If they can maintain the lead until the end of the first half, maybe the situation in the second half will be different.
I just don't think Man City will miss this opportunity.

City has just lost a golden opportunity to equalize the goal with a penalty kick after Bernardo Sylva waa brought down inside the box. Marmoush couldn't find the back of the net as Dean Henderson stopped the ball. The ball was a rebound but City couldn't do anything with the ball. Haaland wanted to play the penalty but I don't know why he handed the ball over to Marmoush who lost it.
