Pep Guardiola hasn’t gone through a season without a trophy since the 2016/17 season. Bringing several moments of glory to the Etihad over the past decade, the Spanish manager will go into the FA Cup 2025 as his only chance at a trophy this year. Facing Crystal Palace at Wembley, Manchester City will also be appearing in their FA Cup finals in a row.

Oliver Glasner has had a decent campaign with the Eagles since taking over in 2024. Taking the London side to their first FA Cup final since 2016, Crystal Palace will chase their first trophy since the 1993/94 Football League First Division (now EFL Championship).

FA Cup 2025 Final: Key Players To Watch

The matchups all over the pitch are of an elite level in the FA Cup Final 2025. Going into their first finals in over a decade, the Eagles will certainly be outmatched up front in the general scheme of things. However, given their recent form of some players, Crystal Palace could surprise London on Saturday.

Here are the key players to watch in the FA Cup 2025 Final between Manchester City vs Crystal Palace:

Eberechi Eze

Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace is been in a sublime form towards the end of the season. Scoring four goals in his last three games, the 26-year-old will be cautiously approached by Guardiola’s men. Allowing Eze to set free could cause problems in Manchester City’s defence, given his abilities and recent run. Eze was also on the scoresheet the last time these two sides faced each other in the PL.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne, a key player to watch, has been instrumental in Manchester City’s success against Crystal Palace. His remarkable record against the team is evident in his 14 goal involvements (goals and assists) in the Premier League, which is the joint-highest against any opponent. Moreover, the Belgian scored twice in the previous meeting between the sides in a 5-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium in the 2024/25 season.
