Crystal Palace will be looking to build on the momentum of last week's 2-0 win over Tottenham when they face Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
The Eagles are keen to secure their first ever big stage triumph, but they have a mountain to climb in the battle at Wembley. Adam Wharton is a major fitness doubt, while midfielder Cheick Doucoure remains in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's men dropped two points in a goalless draw with Southampton at the weekend but the FA Cup is their real target now.
Man City want to salvage their season by lifting the FA Cup and with a comfortable win over Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals, the possibility of them winning at Wembley is worth considering.
January signing Omar Marmoush is expected to return to the starting line-up, while Oscar Bobb is a major doubt. Striker Erling Haaland is back to full fitness and will lead the Manchester City attack.

In theory, Crystal Palace have more confidence playing on neutral ground, but Wembley is a big stage, a place more familiar to Manchester City than Palace. History shows that Manchester City often struggle against the Eagles' defensive and disciplined style.
But it is not difficult to see that City are often more successful when playing at Palace, simply because that is where the Eagles rely on the home crowd to attack their opponents on the field. That can absolutely happen at Wembley, where Palace can recklessly surround Manchester City. And because of that, Manchester City's chances of winning will be even higher.
The match started with Manchester City accepting Palace half a goal, winning enough, losing 87. By yesterday afternoon. The price had gradually shifted towards the upper hand, winning 97, losing 90. However, by noon today, the rate had changed, changing from half a goal to half a goal and Manchester City lost enough, winning only 82.
Anyway, following the Manchester City brand is still safer.

A 1-1 draw has the lowest odds with a 1-to-pay bet of only 7.9, but next to it is a 2-1 Manchester City win with a 1-to-pay bet of 8, a 1-0 win of 8.3, and a 2-0 win of 9.2. Crystal Palace's chances of winning are very low with 0-1 winning at 15, 1-2 winning at 14, and 0-2 winning at 27. The bookmakers are sure that there will be goals in the match, so a 0-0 score of 1 pays 15, and there will even be many goals, so a 2-2 score of 1 pays only 14.
