FA Cup Semi-Final: Manchester City Favored Against Chelsea
Match Preview and Predictions
Saturday, February 18, 2023
The first semi-final of the 2023-24 FA Cup takes place on Saturday evening, as Manchester City and Chelsea clash at Wembley Stadium. City are the heavy favorites to advance, having won 28 of their last 31 FA Cup matches, including their last 10.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency this season, and they will have to be at their best to overcome a City side that is in formidable form. City have won their last five matches in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and conceding just one.
Chelsea will be without several key players for the match, including injured midfielders N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic. City, meanwhile, are expected to have a full squad available.
The match is likely to be a close and entertaining encounter, but City will be confident of extending their impressive FA Cup record and reaching the final.
