Manchester City face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final as Pep Guardiola’s team look to salvage a disappointing season and deny the Eagles their first major trophy at Wembley.
While City are aiming to win their 19th major honour since Guardiola took charge, Palace are a game away from securing a historic first under manager Oliver Glasner after previous heartbreaks at the national stadium.
Palace lost the 1990 final to Manchester United in a replay and were also beaten by the same opposition in the 2016 final after extra time. Eberechi Eze was the star of their semi-final win over Aston Villa last month.
City, meanwhile, will look to striker Erling Haaland, who called his side’s year “horrific” this week. City are used to competing for the Premier League and Champions League but Guardiola said winning the FA Cup is “massively important” to them.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
Marc Guehi has been taken off, with Jefferson Lerma replacing him. There seemed to be a brief row between the medical staff on either side, so that could be related to the sub or the disallowed goal! Who knows.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
60 mins: Is this a potential turning point? The emotional release of Palace thinking they were 2-0 up might now go the other way. Sarr was obviously offside when he touched the ball before Munoz’s finish. City have a reprieve.
GOAL DISALLOWED! Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
The long throw falls kindly to Munoz after some pinball, and he fires into a sea of bodies, with the ball coming off Sarr before Ortega saves. Munoz follows up to tap in, but it’s chalked off as Sarr was offside when the ball hit him.
No controversy in this one.
GOAL! Crystal Palace 2-0 Man City
GOAL! Palace have a second, but it may well be chalked off for offside…
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
An admirable approach from Palace in attack, with the first thought being to get the ball into the box at every opportunity.
Another Richards long throw on the way…
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
Great play from Doku to disguise a pass into the path of Silva, who is free in the box but sees his cross blocked well by Kamada.
From the set-piece, Haaland eventually fires over on the volley.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
56 mins: There’s already talk of “the Henderson final” here at Wembley. The penalty stop was the pick of a series of fine saves, but there’s also the question of whether he should even have been on the pitch for it. His handball outside the area was judged not to be a goalscoring opportunity.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
Guehi is still getting checked on the sidelines but he makes his way back onto the pitch.
City in possession once again as the onslaught continues.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
That red card decision didn’t look particularly bad at the time, but in hindsight City fans have every right to feel hard done by there.
We’re back in action at Wembley.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man City
52 mins: An onslaught from City at the start of the second half. One interpretation is that weight of pressure and number of chances will eventually tell. Another is that Palace’s name may be on the cup, particularly with the way Dean Henderson saved a penalty after surviving a check for a red card.
