Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Record: Stats, History & Latest Results

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: The 144th edition of the FA Cup final will see Crystal Palace and Manchester City clash at the Wembley Stadium this Saturday. Man City are looking to lift the trophy for an eighth time. Whereas, Palace are chasing a historic first piece of major silverware in their 120-year history. This marks the Eagles’ third appearance in the final.

They lost both of those finals previously to Manchester United in 1990 and 2016. Oliver Glasner’s men have impressed en route to the final. They’ve only conceded just once and netted three goals in each of the last three rounds. Thus includes a 3-0 win over Aston Villa in the semi-finals. Palace have also enjoyed a recent upturn in form.

They’ve now gone five matches unbeaten. For City, this is a chance to salvage domestic glory. They’re having a quite underwhelming Premier League campaign. Having already secured a record third straight FA Cup final appearance, Pep Guardiola’s side will be aiming to bounce back from last season’s final loss and cap their campaign with silverware.
