Chelsea vs Manchester City predictions: Citizens ready to lift another trophy

Chelsea have lost six of their last 10 games without scoring
Recommended bet: Man City -1 on Asian handicap @ 23/20 with LiveScore Bet
All eyes will be on the capital this weekend as Chelsea strive to salvage their season by attempting to defeat Man City in the FA Cup final.
It was less than a month ago that Calum McFarlane was installed as Chelsea's interim manager and he has already had one positive Wembley experience, steering the Blues to a 1-0 FA Cup semi-final triumph over Leeds United.
However, the gloss of that achievement was removed the following weekend as a miserable Premier League campaign continued with a dismal 3-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest.
While Chelsea have saved their best efforts for cup competitions, City have stayed strong on all domestic fronts.
Pep Guardiola’s side lifted the EFL Cup in March and they kept their Premier League title hopes alive on Wednesday with a 3-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace.

Team news
Chelsea will have to make late checks on forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto, who have not featured since that FA Cup semi-final success over Leeds.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez (head) could be ready to return, but Estevao, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (both hamstring) and Jesse Derry (head) are unavailable.
City made several changes for the midweek victory over Palace, but are set to revert to a first-choice starting XI, with Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki among the players expected to return.
Abdukodir Khusanov (knock), Rodri (groin) and Josko Gvardiol (calf) face late checks, but goalkeeper James Trafford should start his sixth game of the competition.
The stats
City have won their last two games by 3-0 scorelines and are unbeaten in their last 13 matches against Chelsea.
The Citizens have won eight of their last nine fixtures and seven of their last eight games have featured at least three goals.
Chelsea have conceded the first goal in 12 of their last 14 matches.

Prediction
City have been beaten in each of the last two FA Cup finals, but they can avoid an unwanted hat-trick by defeating the Londoners in a comfortable fashion.
Both clubs have a strong FA Cup pedigree, with Chelsea winning the competition eight times and City lifting the trophy on seven occasions.
But Chelsea have endured a miserable couple of months in the league and it is hard to see them finding the necessary uptick in performance they need to seriously challenge Pep Guardiola's side.
City are going to need a favour in their pursuit of the Premier League title, but their FA Cup destiny is in their own hands and they can finish the job against Chelsea, who they have beaten 10 times in the last 13 meetings.
Score prediction: Chelsea 0-2 Man City
