In the ongoing English FA Cup 2024-25, Crystal Palace and Manchester City will take on each other in the final. Crystal Palace is currently placed 12th in the English Premier League 2024-25 points table with two games left in the season. They have no chance of winning the Premier League, nor can they qualify for tournaments such as UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
Team that finishes sixth will qualify for the Europa League while the top-five teams qualify for the Champions League. This is the reason they would like to end the 2024-25 season with the FA Cup title. Talking about Manchester City, the former champions lost their Premier League title to Liverpool a few weeks back. City is currently placed 6th in the PL and will push for the top five finish when they play their last two games.
Winning this game will be important for both these teams as they would like to end their season with something to look back to. The Blue brigade, City had a poor Champions League 2024-25 campaign. They finished 22nd in the Group stages and had to play the knockout playoffs, where they lost to Real Madrid 6-3.
Talking about Palace, they finished 10th in the previous PL season which is why they have been part of only PL and the FA Cup 2024-25 tournaments. Talking about the FA Cup tournament format, 32 teams compete in the main tournament. There is no Group stage and every game is a knockout. The main round starts in November and ends in May while the Qualifying rounds starts in August.
