The FA Cup 2024/25 Final: Crystal Palace v Manchester City (BBC One, Saturday, May 17, 2025)

Match of the Day

After the pre-match buzz dies down and the final whistle blows, there’s only one place to relive the glory (or agony) of the FA Cup final: “Match of the Day.” This Saturday, Gary Lineker leads the coverage from Wembley Stadium, dissecting every goal, every tackle, and every controversial call as Crystal Palace takes on Manchester City.

Crystal Palace, buoyed by their cup victories over Fulham and Aston Villa, hopes to achieve the impossible and upset the reigning champions. This would be a massive upset if they were to beat the Cityzens. City’s road to Wembley included a decisive 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the semi-final, a solid if unremarkable performance.
