Manchester City face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final as Pep Guardiola’s team look to salvage a disappointing season and deny the Eagles their first major trophy at Wembley.

While City are aiming to win their 19th major honour since Guardiola took charge, Palace are a game away from securing a historic first under manager Oliver Glasner after previous heartbreaks at the national stadium.

Palace lost the 1990 final to Manchester United in a replay and were also beaten by the same opposition in the 2016 final after extra time. Eberechi Eze was the star of their semi-final win over Aston Villa last month.

City, meanwhile, will look to striker Erling Haaland, who called his side’s year “horrific” this week. City are used to competing for the Premier League and Champions League but Guardiola said winning the FA Cup is “massively important” to them.

Doku makes space in the box but he can’t get the shot away in front of a sea of Palace bodies.

89 mins: You can really feel the tension now from the Palace fans, as tick into the final minutes. That's natural, but not necessarily a consequence of play. City, other than De Bruyne, really aren't creating much.

Good work from Eze to intercept Foden’s pass and get Palace up the pitch. With his performance, it’s difficult to choose a MOTM between him, Henderson and Richards!

Another City sub as Ilkay Gundogan comes on for Bernardo Silva.
