Gary Lineker introduces live coverage of the Wembley showpiece as serial winners Manchester City face a Crystal Palace side vying for the first major trophy in their history.

While City鈥檚 era of dominance under Pep Guardiola has stalled this season, they are contesting their third successive FA Cup final, having won it in 2023 and lost to bitter rivals Manchester United last season.

Palace鈥檚 two previous finals have both ended in defeat to United, latterly in 2016. The Eagles dared, and dazzled, in their most recent trip to Wembley though, with a ruthless 3-0 semi-final victory over Aston Villa, and they have only conceded one goal during their FA Cup run this season.

Palace and City have already met twice this season in the Premier League, with a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park followed by a 5-2 home victory for Guardiola鈥檚 side last month after the Eagles had led 2-0.

Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards and Glenn Murray provide studio insight, while commentary comes from Guy Mowbray and Alan Shearer.
