Chelsea face Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the 145th FA Cup final on Saturday, with Calum McFarlane’s Blues standing in the way of the Cityzens claiming a rare domestic trophy double.
After a disappointing season, in which Enzo Maresca and his successor, Liam Rosenior, were both sacked due to the Blues’ poor form, interim Chelsea coach McFarlane has the chance to restore pride and claim silverware. The West Londoners have won just once since McFarlane took over last month – a semi-final victory over Leeds – and defensive frailty remains a problem for the Blues.
City, meanwhile, go into the final on something of a high after a 3-0 demolition of Crystal Palace in midweek – a result that kept the pressure on English Premier League leaders Arsenal. That victory means Pep Guardiola’s side, who also lifted the English Soccer League Cup, will continue their domestic honors in March.
Chelsea will face Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in North London Saturday, May 16. Kick off is scheduled 3pm BST in the UK, that is 10 am ET or 7 am PT in the US and Canada, too 2 am AEST on Sunday in Australia.
Chelsea will be hoping to end their 13 game winless run against Man City in the final today.
