Yahoo Finance Chelsea FC vs Man City: FA Cup prediction, TV channel, h2h, team news, lineups, live stream, odds today
Chelsea will tonight be out to wreck Manchester City’s quadruple dream when the two sides meet in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
City already have a Carabao Cup final, against Tottenham, to look forward to at the national stadium later this month and are on the cusp of wrapping up the Premier League title, despite last weekend’s surprise defeat to Leeds.
Victory over Borussia Dortmund in midweek saw them through to a Champions League semi-final against PSG, and this fixture could yet prove a dress rehearsal for an all-English final in that competition, with Chelsea set to take on Real Madrid on the other side of the draw after knocking out Porto.
For the Blues, the FA Cup represents one of two chances to end a tumultuous campaign with silverware, and the winners of this tie will no doubt go into the final - against either Southampton or Leicester - as favourites.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Chelsea vs Man City is scheduled for a 5:30pm BST kick-off on Saturday, April 17, 2021.
The game will be played behind closed doors at Wembley, in line with current coronavirus restrictions.
