After a season which many labelled as disastrous, last season's Premier League winners Manchester City find themselves at arms length from winning the FA Cup. As the final kicks off at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, Crystal Palace will take to the pitch, looking to script history with an upset. The Eagles made their way to the final beating the likes of Millwall, Fulham and Aston Villa.
Their opponents City, on the other hand, had to go through Plymouth, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. Both sides have been extremely solid defensively, with Palace letting in just one goal throughout the knockout stages. City too, have been compact, only conceding twice in the path to the final.
