Manchester City faces Chelsea at the Wembley in the first 1/2-finals of the FA Cup. Let’s preview this fixture in these High-odds football predictions this weekend.
Manchester City will try to defend the trophy they won last season. The Cityzens enter the 1/2-finals after a heartbreaking defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s team fought hard, but left the competition after penalties at the Etihad.
Guardiola doesn’t have any other option, but to rotate the line-up after 120 minutes against Real Madrid. Some of the players will get a rest while some other will start. Players wuch as Julian Alvarez, Jeremy Doku, Matheus Nunes, Rico Lewis and John Stones could be in the starting eleven against the Londoners. Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish could be rested. The same could be said about Bernardo Silva who played the whole 120 minutes against Los Blancos.
Chelsea approach the FA Cup 1/2-finals after a stunning 6-0 win against Everton in the Premier League. This win should give Chelsea a boost of confidence before facing Man City.
Cole Palmer is the player to watch in Chelsea’s team. Manchester City’s former man scored four goals against Everton. Palmer is Chelsea’s best team this season and he is going to be a huge threat for City’s defense on Saturday.
Chelsea will need to be flawless in defense against Manchester City. This means that players like Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah must be at the top of their game. The fullbacks Chilwell and Gusto must be very focused as well because City usually attack through the wings.
That’s the High-odds football predictions this weekend for the FA Cup 1/2-finals game between Manchester City and Chelsea at the Wembley. Can Chelsea cause an upset here? Well, let’s see.
