For Chelsea, this will be a real chance to reach their second major final of the year and they come into this one full of confidence. City don’t often stay down for too long though and they look to be the favourites for this one with many football betting apps.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Analysis
A place in the FA Cup final is up for grabs here, making this a fantastic contest in prospect.
Manchester City
Crashing out of the Champions League in midweek will really hurt Manchester City, who were chasing an unprecedented double treble. That doesn’t quite tell the whole story though, with City dominating most of the game against Real Madrid, without managing to put the game to bed and paying the price on penalties. They will want to respond here and as the defending FA Cup champions, they will be taking this very seriously.
Team news: Erling Haaland is a big injury doubt for this one for City, with question marks around plenty of others in the squad that played 120 minutes on Wednesday.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Stefan Ortega, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Mateo Kovacic, Rodri, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Oscar Bobb & Julian Alvarez.
Chelsea
Whilst winning the FA Cup would go some way to saving Chelsea’s season, the problems at Stamford Bridge are wide ranging this term. Mauricio Pochettino looks to be a man troubled by the role, but he will be looking to take plenty of heart from their huge 6-0 win over Everton last time out. City are firm favourites here and having taken points off them twice this season, Chelsea will be out to spoil the party for City here.
Team news: Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Axel Disasi, and Wesley Fofana will miss out here for the blues.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Dorde Petrovic, Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusto, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer & Nicholas Jackson.
Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction
Reaching the FA Cup semi-final is a huge achievement in any club’s season and both Manchester City and Chelsea will be chomping at the bit to get going here. City will be reeling from their Champions League exit, but Chelsea have enjoyed plenty of success against them this season and they could trouble Pep Guardiola’s side, with a draw perhaps the plausible outcome in normal time.
Prediction: Draw – 10/3 (+333) – Rhino Bet.
Manchester City vs Chelsea – The Ultimate Bet
Cole Palmer to score anytime – 13/45 (+260) – Fitzdares
It has been an incredible campaign for Cole Palmer, who left City to join Chelsea in the summer and his performances in recent weeks have been spectacular. Palmer would love to make an impact here and he could find himself on the score sheet once again.
