I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Man City are 4/11 favourite to win the 2025 FA Cup Final.
  • Crystal Palace are 19/10 to lift the trophy after taking a 2-0 lead in their last match against City.
  • The final kicks off at 4:30pm on Saturday, marking the 144th edition of the competition.

City Clear Favourites for Wembley Glory But Palace Can’t Be Overlooked

This Saturday sees the 144th Emirates FA Cup Final as Manchester City take on Crystal Palace at Wembley (4:30pm KO) and betting markets at leading UK betting sites heavily favour Pep Guardiola's men.

City are 4/11 with BetVictor to lift the trophy, but punters may recall that when the two sides met last month, Palace stunned Pep Guardiola’s team by going 2-0 up before eventually losing 5-2.

That performance, while ultimately fruitless, proved Palace can break through City’s defence and with 19/10 available on the underdogs to lift the cup, the value may be with a tight upset or extra time thriller.

Goals are expected at Wembley on Saturday with Palace looking to win the FA Cup in their third attempt.

What the expert says...
City’s odds are justified, but this isn’t a total mismatch. Palace proved last month they can get at City and in a one-off final, that makes 19/10 on them lifting the cup very backable.

Recent Form and Head-to-Head

In April’s Premier League meeting, Palace raced into a shock 2-0 lead, capitalising on space behind City’s high line with impressive transitions. 

While City roared back to win 5-2, the game exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Oliver Glasner’s men will be desperate to exploit again at Wembley.

City, meanwhile, have been strong in knockout competitions under Guardiola and are looking to win the trophy after losing it to rivals United at Wembley last season.
