Crystal Palace Form


Crystal Palace began their FA Cup run with victories over Stockport 1-0, Doncaster 2-0 and Millwall 3-1. The Eagles then eliminated Premier League opponents Fulham and Aston Villa with 3-0 victories and Eze scored in both matches.

Palace are in decent long-term form and are undefeated in 20 of their previous 24 games in all competitions. Oliver Glasner’s team are unbeaten in five consecutive matches, drawing three and winning twice and Eze has scored five during this spell.

The South Londoners continued their strong run of form with a comfortable 2-0 win at Tottenham. Eze scored both goals as Palace dominated with 3.99-0.91 XG.

Crystal Palace Injuries


Midfielder Adam Wharton is in contention to return from injury.

Defender Chadi Riad and midfielder Cheick Doucouré are set to miss out with injuries.

Man City Form 


Man City cruised into the FA Cup quarter-final after defeating three lower league opponents. City came back from a goal down to beat Bournemouth 2-1 in the quarter-final before defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the semi-final. 

Pep Guardiola’s side returned to Premier League action after the Forest triumph and edged Wolves to a 1-0 home win. City struggled to create chances with just 0.86 XG and Kevin De Bruyne struck the winner.

The Citizens followed that result with a 0-0 draw against bottom-of-the-table Southampton. Guardiola’s outfit attempted 26 shots and couldn’t find the winner. 

Man City Injuries


Forward Oscar Bobb won’t make the squad due to injury.

Defensive pair John Stones and Nathan Aké are also sidelined with long-term injuries.

Verdict

Palace don’t lose many games and can hold or defeat Man City in the FA Cup final. Eze is a dangerous player and there’s value on the forward to strike again at Wembley.
