In their 120-year history, Crystal Palace have never lifted a major trophy. They have twice reached the FA Cup paradise but lost to MU in 1990 and 2016. And now, Crystal Palace return to Wembley, for the third time, with a strong belief that they will change their fortunes.

Coach Oliver Glasner's team has shown impressive form in the FA Cup this season, defeating Stockport County, Doncaster Rovers, Millwall, Fulham and especially a convincing 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the semi-finals.

The attack exploded with 9 goals in the last 3 rounds, while the defense only conceded 1 goal since the beginning of the tournament, a number that speaks to the true strength of the south London team.

Crystal Palace's form is also on the rise as they are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 win away at Tottenham, where Eberechi Eze shone with a classy double.

Currently ranked 12th in the Premier League and having reached 49 points, equal to last season's achievement, Crystal Palace temporarily put aside the top 10 goal to aim for the historic milestone of winning the FA Cup for the first time, and along with that, a ticket to the Europa League next season to participate in the continental playground for the first time in 27 years.

In front of more than 30,000 Crystal Palace fans who will descend on Wembley, coach Glasner and his students will try to end a 7-match winless streak against Man City (3 draws, 4 losses), including a 2-5 loss at Etihad 5 weeks ago despite leading 2-0 after only 21 minutes.

Meanwhile, Man City have become the first team in English football history to reach the final of both domestic cups in three consecutive seasons. They reached the League Cup final four times in a row from 2017/18 to 2020/21, and are now preparing for their third consecutive FA Cup final.

Wembley has become almost a “second home” for Man City as they have played there 30 times since 2011, at least seven more than any other team.

Pep Guardiola's side are in their seventh consecutive FA Cup semi-final - a record - after a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the end of April. In the previous rounds, they overcame Salford City, Plymouth Argyle, Leyton Orient and Bournemouth.

The FA Cup is now City's only chance of domestic silverware this season, after a four-year run of Premier League dominance came to an end in a turbulent campaign. They will still hope to end the season on a positive note with the FA Cup and a place in the Premier League's top five.

Currently, the chance to qualify for the Champions League is still open when Man City was held to a goalless draw by the relegated Southampton in their last match. Although coach Guardiola may have to calculate the force for the match against Bournemouth early next week in the Premier League, Man City's main target is certainly still the 14th FA Cup final in history. A victory tomorrow morning will help them raise the 8th FA Cup trophy, equaling the achievements of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham and only behind Arsenal (14) and MU (13).

In the FA Cup, history is on Man City's side. They have won three of their four meetings with Palace, with a combined score of 18-4. They even beat Palace 11-4 in the 5th round of the FA Cup in 1926. It was the highest-scoring match in the club's history. Man City's only defeat came in the first meeting between the two teams in 1921, when they lost 0-2.
