Chelsea have made a final already this season too, losing to Liverpool in the EFL Cup. The Blues have endured a miserable domestic campaign but have been strong in the cup competitions.
Can Chelsea beat Man City?
Manchester City are no slouches, sitting third in the Premier League table, but Chelsea have matched them in recent meetings. The Blues drew 4-4 in November’s clash at Stamford Bridge, and they drew 1-1 in February’s meeting at the Etihad.
That being said, City did thrash Chelsea the last time the two sides locked horns in the FA Cup. City won the competition in 2023 on route to claiming the treble, so they’re the team to beat.
Chelsea face Man City on Saturday, April 20. The other semi-final sees Coventry City face Manchester United on Sunday, April 21.
