Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction

Are we about to witness one of the most one-sided FA Cup finals in history? The form guide and recent history suggest we might well be.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, picking up eight wins in the process. The Citizens have seen seven of their last eight matches produce over 2.5 goals, which includes Pep Guardiola's side scoring at least three goals in five of those fixtures.

Man City have also managed to keep six clean sheets during their current nine-game unbeaten run, so it's going to take something special to breach the favourites' defence.

When these two sides met at the Etihad in the league, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, but their clash at Stamford Bridge just last month proved an entirely different affair. City ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Nico O'Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku.

The last three times these two sides have met in a domestic cup (twice in the FA Cup and once in the EFL Cup), Manchester City have won the game and kept a clean sheet.

Chelsea head into the final having lost eight of their last 11 matches in league and cup. The Blues have failed to score in six of those defeats, and have conceded three or more goals on six occasions, so you can see why we're backing City to dominate on Saturday.

Manchester City 3-0 Chelsea
