Chelsea host Man City at the Wembley Stadium (London) in the FA Cup Semi-finals and the match kicks off at 5.30 pm (UK) on Saturday, April 17. Read our reasons for Chelsea vs Man City prediction and betting tips.
Chelsea will take on Man City in the last four of the famous FA Cup under Wembley's famous arch for a place in the showpiece final in May. Their FA Cup quarter-final encounter with Sheffield Utd was nervier than expected, with the Blades coming quite close to leveling the match before Hakim Ziyech’s late goal sealed the deal with a 2-0 win for the Blues. Now, they have a much harder opponent to beat in Premier League leaders Man City, who beat Everton 2-0 to secure their spot in the semifinal and are firing on all cylinders and are still in the chase for the unprecedented Quadruple.
Chelsea are looking to reach the FA Cup final for a 15th time, with only Arsenal and Man United reaching it more often than the Blues. Chelsea have won seven of their last eight semi-final ties, losing only against their semi-final opponents, Man City in 2013 in this run. Thomas Tuchel has turned the London club into a team that is very hard to beat and they have enjoyed league wins over City in each of the past two seasons, as well as taking them to penalties in the 2019 EFL Cup final and Chelsea will definitely have a say in this tie.
After losing last year’s FA Cup final, Chelsea will now be eyeing another trip to Wembley. They last lifted the trophy in 2018 but will be high on confidence after success in the elite European competition in midweek. Tuchel says his young side are showing they can “fight, run and hang in there” after beating Porto 2-1 on aggregate to reach the last four of the competition and, no doubt, they will be up for it when they face City on Saturday night.
The Citizens won all three major domestic competitions two years ago and will now be determined to also conquer Europe for the first time. Guardiola’s men are 14 points clear of neighbours United at the top of the table, and after making a shaky start to the campaign, City rattled off 15 consecutive league victories between mid-December and March’s derby defeat to help open up what looks an unassailable lead. Meanwhile, in the FA Cup, City have brushed aside Birmingham, Cheltenham, Swansea and Everton to reach the semi-finals, with Chelsea awaiting them at Wembley.
Man City have won nine of their last 11 FA Cup semi-final matches, though they have been eliminated at this stage in two of their four previous campaigns under Pep Guardiola – both times against Arsenal in 2017 and 2020. To put even more pressure on Chelsea, Man City boss Pep Guardiola is unbeaten in all five of his managerial meetings with Thomas Tuchel (W3, D2), with all of these coming between 2013 and 2016 when the Spaniard was in charge of Bayern Munich.

Chelsea meet Man City having previously lost four of their last five FA Cup ties against City, including a 2-1 loss at this stage in 2013. However, they did win their most recent such encounter 5-1 in February 2016. Thomas Tuchel would be the first-ever German manager to reach the English FA Cup final, while the Citizens are looking for a fourth consecutive win against Chelsea at the new Wembley Stadium, beating them 2-1 in the 2013 FA Cup semi-final, 2-0 in the 2018 Community Shield, and on penalties in the 2019 League Cup final.
