Team News

Crystal Palace
Man City
  • Adam Wharton missed the 2-0 win over Tottenham last weekend, and Oliver Glasner will hope the England international is available for Saturday's FA Cup final.
  • Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are both unavailable for the Eagles, but the pair are the only confirmed absentees.
  • Glasner is unlikely to spring any real selection headaches, but will have Daichi Kamada and Will Hughes on standby to deputise for Wharton in midfield if required.
  • Pep Guardiola has teased that Rodri could be available to make the bench in Saturday's FA Cup final after the Spaniard returned to training earlier this month.
  • However, the Manchester City boss is without Oscar Bobb, John Stones and Nathan Ake for the game at Wembley.
  • Bernardo Silva has featured at the base of the midfield in recent weeks, and may continue here alongside Mateo Kovacic.

Prediction

  • Crystal Palace take on Manchester City at Wembley in Saturday's FA Cup final, but do so having won just two of their last five matches. One of those was in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa, while they were more than comfortable in their 2-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
  • Manchester City dominated at Southampton last weekend yet were unable to extend their winning run to six matches as they were held to a 0-0 draw at St. Mary's. Palace and City played out a 2-2 draw when the pair met at Selhurst Park in December, only for the Eagles to fall to a 5-2 loss at the Etihad Stadium last month.
  • City's final experience could prove decisive at Wembley, with Pep Guardiola's side expected to live up to their favourites tag and lift the FA Cup this weekend.

  • Congratulations to Palace!! I found this is their biggest achievement of the club history, Henderson the Heroe of the day with great savings thoughout al the match. That miracoulus cap haha I'm just kidding XD

  • Manchester city foi amaldiçoado por milhares de Brasileiros. Percebam que após a bola de ouro esse time foi só ladeira abaixo. Choraa

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • In the end it was Eze for Palace.

  • Congratulations Palace!

  • Come on Palace!

  • Fisrt time I see a keeper in the EPL wearing a cup withouta brand logo!. To me bad disallowed the goal of Muñoz as the attacker who were at offside were pasive in the play build up. Referees always want to play the main role at matches.

  • And of course the goalkeeper Ortega is second class.

  • Marmoush is a piece of shit, City should sell him next season.

  • @Leokh Let him stay.. He was doing an excellent job at Frankfurt, then joined the circus.. It's satisfying watching them crumble with their oil money..

  • Haaland bottled it and gave the penalty kick to Marmoush.MC around 85% possession so far and dominating shots but still cannot score.

  • PALACE Henderson, Munoz, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Sarr, Eze, Mateta.

  • MAN CITY Ortega, Akanji, Gvardiol, Dias, O'Reilly, Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho, Doku, Marmoush, Haaland.

  • @Marbella That is a very attacking line up for MC.

  • Man City Win.

  • @Marbella @ 1.91 Odds

  • city win, 1-3

  • 2-3

  • All I see is City haters on here, if you are so sure about Palace you can play BTS at 1.7 odds which is reasonable, however, I'm going for City over 1.5 at at 1.8 odds

  • @BettingMadeSimple Not haters, just realists.

  • palace to lift the cup

  • palace double chance
