Last time

Our last encounter with Chelsea took place in March, as Bernardo Silva’s solitary strike moved City one step closer to Premier League glory. 

In the away trip to Stamford Bridge earlier in the season, City produced a sensational performance to claim a 1-0 win, courtesy of a Kevin De Bruyne thunderbolt.

The last time the two sides met at Wembley was in the 2013 FA Cup semi-final. Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri were on the scoresheet in a 2-1 triumph.

City also won 3-2 when the pair locked horns in the 2012 Community Shield at Villa Park.
