The FA Cup semi-final match between Manchester City and Chelsea is scheduled to mark this weekend in the early morning of the 21st. With much attention being paid to the match between ‘defending champion’ Manchester City and ‘8-time FA Cup winner’ Chelsea, which team will win a ticket to the final?
Manchester City, who completed their midweek Champions League schedule, are scheduled to play in the FA Cup this weekend. Manchester City, which has defeated tough opponents such as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, is aiming to win the FA Cup for the second year in a row.
The only variable for Manchester City, which still boasts a strong squad including ‘monster’ Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, is the aftermath of the Champions League.
In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid, he was eliminated despite playing about 210 minutes, raising concerns about his physical strength and mental health. Will Manchester City, who plays the FA Cup match after a short break of about four days, succeed in turning the atmosphere around at home? It is time for Deokbae with red cheeks and Haaland with loose hair to appear.
Also, Chelsea, who are undefeated in eight games and are in the best mood this season, will attempt to advance to the FA Cup finals for the first time in two years. The player leading Chelsea’s upward trend is undoubtedly Cole Palmer, the ‘head of the family’.
Palmer, who moved from Manchester City to Chelsea ahead of this season, is in full bloom. Palmer, who boasts a tremendous sense of goal by scoring 10 goals in the last 5 games, is currently tied for the top scorer in the league with 20 goals.
Can Chelsea, who has not won against Manchester City for eight games, break their winless streak and earn a ticket to the FA Cup final? High expectations are being placed on Cole Palmer’s performance against his former team.
In a match between Manchester City and Chelsea in a conflicting atmosphere, which team will win the ticket to the FA Cup final? The 2023-24 season FA Cup semi-final match, which will be held at 1:15 am on the 21st, will be broadcast live simultaneously on SPOTV Prime and SPOTV NOW.
