The bookmakers have priced up the FA Cup outright market and it’s Manchester City who are regarded as the team to beat. It’s hardly a surprise considering that they’re the reigning champions, although the draw means that they will probably have to overcome Chelsea and Manchester United to claim this piece of silverware.
Pep Guardiola’s side are battling it out to retain their Premier League crown along with their Champions League title, with the team enjoying a comfortable win against Newcastle in the FA Cup quarter finals and they will now clash with Chelsea at Wembley Stadium, with the teams having drawn twice this term.
There was a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge before a more recent 1-1 scoreline at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester United receiving a favourable semi-final draw after a pulsating clash against Liverpool which saw the Red Devils claim a dramatic victory. However, Coventry will be looking to produce a cup shock.
The Sky Blues are managed by former United player Mark Robins, with the Championship outfit having come from behind to claim a victory at Molineux against Wolverhampton Wanderers. They were at Wembley last season when losing to Luton Town in the play-off final and they have nothing to lose from this clash.
