Crystal Palace is set to face Manchester City in the highly anticipated final of the 2024-25 English FA Cup this Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London. The match will be available for streaming on ESPN+ and Disney+.
This final marks a significant moment for Crystal Palace as they strive for their inaugural FA Cup title, while Manchester City aims to secure their eighth crown.

Earlier this season, City showcased their strength when they came from behind to defeat Palace 5-2 in a Premier League match on April 12. Palace initially took a 2-0 lead, but City responded with a strong offensive display that featured goals from five different players.
