Chelsea have improved in Calum McFarlane’s second spell as interim boss but 2025/26 has been a poor campaign in West London. The Blues avoided a seventh successive defeat last weekend against Liverpool, but a 1-1 draw still didn’t deliver the morale-boosting win. McFarlane’s men squeezed past Leeds 1-0 in the semis, but Chelsea have lost their past three finals and have something of a Wembley hoodoo to hex. They will hope Cole Palmer finds some form after an inconsistent season.
This will be Pep Guardiola’s 24th fixture at Wembley in what could be the Catalan coach’s third-last game as Man City boss. Guardiola could leave in the summer, so a 17th trophy for the Cityzens – to go with the League Cup already in the bag – would go down very nicely. City have, though, lost their past two FA Cup finals – to Crystal Palace and Man Utd in 2025 and 2024, respectively – while Erling Haaland has never scored in a final in nine attempts for the club. Is today the day the hoodoo ends?
