Match Preview: Chelsea vs Manchester City

Chelsea vs Manchester City face off in a semi-final match of the FA Cup tournament. Both teams played in the Champions League during the week and eliminated their rivals, thus qualifying for the semifinals of the tournament.

Chelsea

Chelsea hope to reach the FA Cup final for the 15th time. Only Arsenal (21) and Manchester United (20) make it to the final more often than the Blues. Chelsea have won seven of the last eight semi-finals, losing only in the 2013 game against Manchester City.

The Londoners lost their last match against Porto 0-1, but after a 2-0 victory in the first match they eliminated their opponent. As hosts, the boys of Thomas Tuchel lost their previous match in England with 2-5 from West Bromwich and thus ended their long series without defeat.

The Chelsea team suffered a loss to Manchester City at the beginning of the year and will seek revenge from the “citizens” on Saturday night.

They have lost four games in the last five FA Cup league matches with Manchester City, including the current 2-1 loser in 2013. However, they won the last such encounter in February 2016 (5-1).

Manchester City

Manchester City have won 9 victories in the last 11 FA Cup semi-finals, although they have been eliminated in the first four games coached by Pep Guardiola (against Arsenal in 2017 and 2020).

The Citizen team defeated Borussia Dortmund this week and with a total score of 4-2 defeated their German opponent. In the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s boys were defeated at home by Leeds in the last round and thus ended their impressive series without a loss.

The “citizens” have not lost this year. Even more impressive is that the team does not stop scoring as it has scored an average of 2.4 goals in its past ten visits. In five of his most recent six away games, Man City have not even conceded a goal. Now, however, the bet is a trophy, and that implies an equal match.

Manchester City have won six of their last nine games against Chelsea in all competitions (D1 L2) and have defeated the Blues 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this season.

Manchester City have lost none of their three meetings with Chelsea at the new Wembley Stadium, beating them 2-1 in the 2013 FA Cup semi-final, 2-0 in the 2018 Community Shield, and on penalties in the 2019 League Cup final.
