The lights of Wembley are set to shine on Crystal Palace this Saturday, with the Eagles standing just one game away from rewriting their history books.
After 119 years of waiting, the South London club has a golden opportunity to claim its first major piece of silverware in the FA Cup final — and standing in their way is a Manchester City side desperately clinging to the hope of avoiding a rare empty-handed season under Pep Guardiola.
Palace, twice bridesmaids in this competition, have never hoisted a major trophy. But the mood is different this time. City, once a machine under Guardiola’s watch, have looked more human this season, and Palace can smell blood in the water.
Momentum is on the Eagles’ side. They soared past Tottenham last weekend with a tidy 2-0 win, matching their club record of 49 points in the Premier League with two games still in hand. That performance came as a perfect dress rehearsal before the big show.
Last season, Palace cracked the top 10 for the first time in the Premier League era, all within months of Oliver Glasner stepping in. Though another top-half finish may be a long shot this year, the Austrian boss has kept the upward climb going — especially with a magical FA Cup run that included a statement 3-0 demolition of Champions League quarterfinalists Aston Villa in the semifinals.
