The FA Cup semi-finals kick off this afternoon at Wembley Stadium, England, with Chelsea facing Manchester City this time round.
Chelsea have won the England FA Cup 8 times under different managers. They are ready to face the FA defending champions this afternoon with their last full squad. Chelsea have regained their form lately, with an impression of 3 wins and 2 draws from their last five matches in both the English Premier League and the FA competition.
Manchester City have won 7 FA Cups in total, 2 under the outstanding manager Pep Gardiola. The defending champions were able to defeat Manchester United in a 2-1 victory at Wembley last season on June 3, 2023.
Manchester City are probably positive about defending the FA Cup as well as the English Premier League, with which they are currently at the top of the league table. This might be one of Guardiola’s vital competitions this season, just after being knocked out in the EUFA Champions League quarterfinals last Wednesday by Real Madrid during penalty kick-outs.
Chelsea and Manchester City have recently shared points in the Premier League from their last meetings. Their match is going to be a tough kick-off for the FA semifinals, while Manchester United will take on Coventry tomorrow.
