🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[Just Say]

I don't think easy, Manchester City has top performance recently and back to the premier league tittle race and difficult defeating by Chelsea have focus for domestic league awhile, Chelsea success qualifying to the final after beating Leeds United but for awhile have focus for domestic league during two weeks later will play at the final match.
However, The Emirates FA Cup is the only one opportunity left for Chelsea winning the tittle this season after losing the race for premier league, eliminated at Champion League and the player motivate for winning FA Cup trophy. Based on my prediction I think Manchester City has bigger chance for winning the Emirates FA Cup final match than Chelsea.

Yea, the game is open to any of them to win the trophy because we don't know what kind of factor that will play out on the pitch and affect the outcome of the game.

The club with the best performance will definitely outsmart and the game around in their favor. I wouldn't write off Chelsea but they need to play the game like their lives depend on it. Nothing is impossible.

Yes, the game is open to any of them to win the FA cup Trophy, indeed these two teams are almost at the end of the 2025-26 EPL season, meaning they only have a handful of matches left, but we can already see that Manchester City and Chelsea are already vying for the FA Cup final in another tournament. However Chelsea will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final with only two Premier League games remaining, so it seems to me that Chelsea will take the final round of this tournament more seriously than the remaining matches in the English Premier League. Actually if the Blues can pull off a miracle in the final round of the FA Cup and knock out Manchester City, they won't be without a title this season.

Chelsea lacks that will power to do Manchester City any harm this time around. I think this is time to payback Chelsea for the damage they caused Manchester City in that champions league final. Even though the trophy they won from Manchester City is more prestigious than this FA Cup but it will make up for it a bit. It’s true that Chelsea are always something else when it comes to cup finals, but not this current crop of players that can stop this rejuvenated Manchester City squad that are on course of winning the domestic treble.

I've seen how Chelsea performs when it comes to big games, especially finals. It's always a do or die affair and knowing the stakes attached to winning this cup will also add the morale. As it stands, if Everton wins their game, they will get dropped to either 9th or 10th depending which means no European competition for them next season so this means extra effort to ensure they win this FA cup so it will give them an automatic slot to Europa competition.
 Chelsea has never been the favorites when it comes to competitions. Check the club world cup, they were the underdogs against PSG, even the Europa conference league, many felt they would lose against Betis but how did it turn out?
 Chelsea performs beat under immense pressure so this one won't be different.

Yes, the FA Cup is Chelsea's only chance of winning a title this season. However, it seems unlikely to materialize as Chelsea will face an in-form Manchester City side. Furthermore, Chelsea recently lost their head coach and are currently under the care of a caretaker manager. Therefore, I predict Manchester City will defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup final, especially as Manchester City are aiming for a domestic treble this season.

If Chelsea had faced Arsenal or Manchester united instead of City, I would have said chelsea would win the FA cup. But they will face Manchester city. Guardiola will no doubt try his best to secure the FA cup. City have  performed very badly in the champions league. City still have a  chance of winning the  premier league. But the road is very difficult. Arsenal are still in fierce competition. So guardiola will not want to lose the FA cup. On the other hand, chelsea are not a weak team, but they are not in  good form right now. It is a big challenge for chelsea to resist a team  like City.

Chelsea lack the quality to play against Manchester City in the FA Cup final, compared the performance of both clubs, Manchester City is fa better than Chelsea and they are creating more chances to score goals than Chelsea. If the match against Manchester City end up in a defeat for Chelsea I won’t be surprised at all because they are not in their best form. Cheslea only managed to score one goal in their last five games, they didn’t score in five matches in a row.

The Champions League final which Cheslea win against Manchester City, that was in the last five seasons, Manchester City have won many games against Cheslea since the Champions League final, and Chelsea have not been able to beat Manchester City again since that final. This can be a payback for Manchester City they need to win a trophy against them too.

This is interesting that Chelsea want to gets at least 1 trophy for this season and seems FA cup is their reasonable target because all they have to do is only beat Manchester city at the final game and the trophy will belongs to them but do not forget too that Manchester city had same ambition too that previously they had won Carabao trophy and if Manchester city can beat Chelsea they potentially can gets treble winner of this season so, i am sure Manchester city will be very serious for this final game and from team condition certainly Manchester city is much better than Chelsea who just change their manager and just like i said before Manchester city is the favourite but in football everything still possible to happend and i just hope that Chelsea will showed their champion mentality and don't beated easily

Chelsea cannot cease to suprise me every season. Chelsea is probably going back this season without a trophy, I said so because

• They are facing a team that are pushing for a treble.
• They have been inconsistent in choosing a manager that suits the team.

Come to think of it, If Crystal Palace wins the Conference league, they will be part of the teams that had a successful season, because they will automatically qualify for the Europa league next season, and I don't even think Chelsea will qualify for the Conference league next season.
It will have to take something special for Chelsea to beat the dominant Man city now, but nevertheless let's see what Chelsea can do.

Historically, Chelsea football club has a good FA cup record, and besides this a final and FA cup for that matter, two teams going to contest for a trophy 🏆, isn't going to be like a premier League most people are thinking about, a lot of pressure and pressure, a lot of things will play out that's not tied to the form of the teams alone to win the trophy..

In this match, Chelsea will definitely play differently like in the league. In the league, Chelsea is very bad, but because the last hope to lift the trophy is only the FA Cup this season, Chelsea will try hard, and whatever the way they have to win, City as the favorite will be very overwhelmed facing Chelsea in the final. My prediction is that Chelsea will not be able to face City, but Chelsea will put up a fierce fight.

When it comes to final, Chelsea performance is always different, Chelsea have been losing to Manchester city since, I won’t be surprise if they end up winning against Manchester city in FA cup final. Chelsea might be performing poorly, but if they can get to final, expect a different performance from them in the match. We saw how Chelsea were performing in the last club World Cup, their performance was so good in the group stage, but they struggled to get to the final, and they played fantastically well in the final, and they won the club World Cup, I won’t be surprise if the same thing repeats itself this time around.

That's just a thing about this Chelsea team, it's like a custom with the club at every epoch of the players that makes up the team, you could see them struggling in all other games within the season but when it's a final where the trophy is to be won you would see a different ball game with them on the field. They did it in the two UCL finals trophy they won, and even in the recent Club World Cup finals against PSG where they played as underdogs but won PSG with a cleansheet.
Thereof, I wouldn't underestimate them yet on this FA Cup final against Manchester City despite their shambles performance. They could go into this game and create an upset which would shock every one, just maybe.

There is only a day left for the FA Cup finale... Chelsea and Manchester City face off at Wembley. Guardiola preferred a rotation in the last league match. Haaland was rested and Cherki also played for a short time period.

I'm expecting Manchester City to win this match and secure their 2nd trophy of the season. By the way FA Youth Cup has ended and Manchester City won the derby to lift the trophy.    Now it's time for their main team to do so.

Perhaps Pep Guardiola wants to win by all means and that's why he rested Erling Haaland in their last EPL fixture against Crystal Palace to ensure the striker doesn't suffer any injury before the cup finals, the reason may not be far from the fact that the manager doesn't want to take any chances in ensuring that Manchester City succeeds in achieving a double this season since the title race is quite in doubt for them due to Arsenal's unwavering pursuit for the league title.

Forget it this time around. That magic wont happen with this Chelsea team. Chelsea will be losing this game 3:0 in the first half. I am hearing the noise that Reece James is back. When Palmer was out, people spoke of his return like the coming of Christ. The same Palmer I watched week in, week out. 154 Premier League players have more assists than Cole Palmer, excluding goals. Well, I will be here to see what Reece James has to offer tomorrow, or it will be another hype.

This particular finals is quite unique in the sense that Manchester city who are aiming for a double would be presented with the opportunity to achieve their ambition since the EPL is somewhat in doubt at the moment as a result of the points difference Arsenal has against Manchester city, so I really don't believe city would be careless to let this opportunity slip off their fingers, so might tend to first snatch the FA CUP and wait to see what happens with the title race, either ways they would have achieved the double.

[notblox1]

FA Cup final is finally here and I cant see any other outcome than Manchester City lifting the trophy in the end.
Chelsea didnt win in ten last h2h matches with Manchester City, and I think this trend will continue again.
Odds on Man City winning is actually pretty good and I would even consider asian handicap or adding over 2.5 goals in the mix.

[CLS63]

Guardiola went for a rotation choice against Crystal Palace which was risky but they still won easily. Now he is going to be able to attack harder against Chelsea despite only a 2-day break.

I also don't expect anything other than a win for them. I'm still frustrated with Guardiola's choices because of my FPL team but anyway. Chelsea are in a really dire situation now.

Do you expect Chelsea fans to tell you that they will be defeated by City, Nah! They will definitely brag that they are capable of winning City and get the trophy because they believe in miracles.

I am not expecting any miracle in this game because it's a game of survival of the fittest and not a game of mouth. Manchester City looks stronger than Chelsea and I don't think that Chelsea will be able to withstand City pressure.

With the current state of Chelsea I don't think James will make much difference though he's an old player and he's also good no doubt about that but he can not do everything alone. Currently the spirit and morale of Chelsea's players is very weak and down and they knew it themselves that they are not performing any better and I'm sure they will be frighten now knowing they will be playing against Manchester city that is somehow back on their usual form but sometimes I always chose to impossible.

Manchester city will not give Chelsea any space in the final match, Manchester city will easily beat Chelsea, Chelsea's performance is very bad while City must be busy preparing everything, this will be Pep's last time with City lifting the FA Cup, and hopefully the EPL too
