Eagles hope to upset the Sky Blues
Bangkok Post
|May 17, 2025
When Manchester City and Crystal Palace line up for the 144th FA Cup Final at Wembley today, there is little doubt that the Sky Blues will start as strong favourites.
However Palace, who have not won a major trophy in their entire history, will be no pushover and many neutrals would love to see the Eagles win their first-ever FA Cup title. A new name on the trophy is always welcome.
While it will be City’s third successive appearance in the final it is only the third time Palace have reached the final in their entire history. On the two previous occasions they lost to Manchester United. In 1990, with Steve Coppell at the helm Palace drew 3-3 with United in a thriller but lost the replay 1-0. More recently in 2016 when Alan Pardew was in charge they lost again to United 2-1.
City, on the other hand, have been in the final 14 times lifting the trophy on seven occasions. Their last success was against United two seasons ago although the Red Devils gained revenge last year.
