Chelsea and Manchester City meet in FA Cup final at Wembley

Chelsea Manchester City FA Cup final Wembley domestic treble

The FA Cup final will be played at Wembley on Saturday, 16 May 2024, featuring Chelsea and Manchester City. Chelsea, appearing in their 17th final and first since 2022, are looking for redemption after a chaotic season that left them ninth in the Premier League, out of European competition and facing fan unrest. Interim manager Calum McFarlane will oversee the side in what could halt their decline.

Manchester City, the dominant English club of the last decade, aim to complete a domestic treble after winning the League Cup and remaining in a title race with Arsenal. They have reached a record fourth consecutive FA Cup final but have lost the previous two. Pep Guardiola will field a strong XI, including striker Erling Haaland, who despite 161 goals for City has never scored in a cup semi‑final or final.

Both teams enter the match with contrasting narratives: Chelsea seeking a morale‑boosting trophy, City seeking to cement their domestic supremacy.
