📊 Chelsea vs Man City | Pre-match stats (1/2)

🔹Manchester City are the first team to play in four consecutive FA Cup finals, beating Man Utd in 2023 before losing to the Red Devils in 2024 and Crystal Palace in 2025. Only Chelsea (2020 to 2022) have ever lost the FA Cup final in three consecutive campaigns.

🔹This is Chelsea’s 17th FA Cup final, the third most after Manchester United (22) and Arsenal (21). They’ve won eight and lost eight of their final appearances so far, losing each of their last three in a row.

🔹Having already won the EFL Cup, Manchester City could win both major English domestic cup competitions this season. It would be the sixth time a team has done so after Arsenal in 1992-93, Liverpool in both 2000-01 and 2021-22, Chelsea in 2006-07 and the Citizens themselves in 2018-19.

🔹Since losing the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League final to Chelsea, Manchester City haven’t lost any of their last 13 games against the Blues in all competitions (W10 D3), their longest unbeaten run against them.

🔹Chelsea’s 13-game winless run against Man City is their longest against an opponent since going 17 without a victory against Arsenal between January 1999 and March 2004.

🔹This will be the seventh meeting between Chelsea and Manchester City at Wembley (as a neutral venue) – only Chelsea vs Manchester United has been played there more often (9 times).

🔹Since the 2016-17 season, the two teams to win the most games in the FA Cup are Man City (45) and Chelsea (37), while they’ve also scored the most goals (City 159, Chelsea 111) and kept the most clean sheets (City 28, Chelsea 26) in that time.

🔹Chelsea have scored 21 goals in the FA Cup this season, their joint second most in a season along with the 21 they scored in 2006-07. Only in 1969-70 have they netted more (25) when they beat Leeds in a replay in the final.
