Man City faces crisis-hit Chelsea in FA Cup final at Wembley
LONDON (AP) --- Manchester City takes on Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley
on Saturday aiming to end a two-year losing streak in soccer's oldest knockout
competition.
City has lost to Crystal Palace and Manchester United in the last two finals,
having won it in 2023.
It's a record fourth final in a row for Pep Guardiola's team, which is in
contention for a domestic trophy treble, having already won the English League
Cup. City is also second in the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal with
two rounds to go.
City faces a Chelsea team at Wembley that is in turmoil after a crisis-hit
season that has seen the Club World Cup champion fire two coaches since the
turn of the year.
It is relying on novice interim coach Calum McFarlane to try to end the
campaign on a high and deny Guardiola what would be his 17th major trophy at
City and his 35th overall.
