Highlights.

Man City have reached the FA Cup final in back-to-back seasons for the third time in their history:

  • 1932/33 & 1933/34
  • 1954/955 & 1955/56
  • 2022/23 & 2023/24

They’ve never won the trophy in consecutive campaigns…

City failed to have a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes despite having 17 touches in the opposition box.

Man City’s Bernardo Silva has been involved in 15 goals in his last 20 starts in the FA Cup (10 goals, 5 assists), with his three goals this term his best return in a single campaign in the competition.

Nicolas Jackson has failed to score 67.5% of his shots on target across all competitions this season. Of all Premier League players with 10+ goals (all comps), only five have a poorer record in 2023-24.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 29 matches in all competitions, the longest ever such run in the club’s history (W23 D6).

Bernardo Silva’s 84th minute strike was Manchester City’s second latest winning goal in normal time in a match at Wembley Stadium, after Fred Tilson in the 1934 FA Cup final (88th minute).

Chelsea have failed to score in five of their last six games at Wembley, as many times as they had in their first 40 matches in all competitions at the national stadium.
