PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last FA Cup clash with the London club was in the semi-final at Wembley in April 2021, with Chelsea progressing following a 1-0 victory thanks to Hakim Ziyech’s goal after 55 minutes.

LAST TIME OUT

City emerged victorious at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening, with Riyad Mahrez scoring the winner just after the hour mark in the Premier League. 

It means Pep Guardiola‘s men closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal to just five points, and maintained our unbeaten start since returning from the World Cup.
