Manchester City vs Chelsea<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Saturday, April 20, 5.15pm<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Wembley Stadium, London<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Live on BBC One<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview<\/b><\/h1>\n

Not surprisingly, Pep Guardiola\u2019s Treble winners are widely expected to come out on top in this one.\u00a0<\/span>But City have already failed to beat Chelsea twice this season, with the Blues grabbing a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge before the reverse Premier League fixture finished 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>And while Mauricio Pochettino may have an inexperienced side he is still battling to mould into a consistent outfit, they have already tasted what it is like to play at Wembley this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Poch\u2019s youngsters were left heartbroken in extra-time when Virgil van Dijk netted the only goal of the game to hand the Carabao Cup to Liverpool in February.<\/span>Despite their form generally leaving a lot to be desired so far, the Blues will be desperate to overcome City and ensure they get a second crack at silverware.\u00a0<\/span>Injury-hit Chelsea are likely to be the fresher side due to their lack of European involvement but will have to be ruthless in front of goal to make the most of any chances that fall their way at the national stadium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Latest FA Cup Betting Odds<\/b><\/h1>\n

Defending champs City are favourites to lift the FA Cup once again, which is reflected in the <\/span>5\/8<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>1.62<\/span><\/a>) on offer for them to retain the trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

But with Chelsea priced at <\/span>28\/5<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>6.60<\/span><\/a>) to end their run in the semi-finals, there is no shortage of bettors having faith in the Londoners being able to pull off an upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blues may also tempt you to back them to go all the way in a tournament they have already won eight times.\u00a0<\/span>Assuming Cole Palmer continues his red-hot form in his first season at Chelsea, <\/span>6\/1<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>7.00<\/span><\/a>) for Poch\u2019s team to lift the FA Cup offers plenty of value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips<\/b><\/h1>\n

We expect this match to be a high-scoring affair, with <\/span>5\/4<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>2.25<\/span><\/a>) for over 3.5 goals likely to appeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And with <\/span>17\/25<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>1.68<\/span><\/a>) on offer for both teams to find the net, do not be surprised to see the keepers called into action throughout the match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
