The FA Cup final is almost here, and the football world is buzzing. This Saturday, Wembley Stadium hosts the 145th edition of the historic showdown, with Manchester City facing off against Chris Sutton's former club, Chelsea. The big question: can the Blues finally break their 13-match winless streak against City, or will Pep Guardiola's side lift the famous old trophy once again?
While recent history favors City, Chelsea fans have a glimmer of hope. Their last victory over Guardiola's men came on the grandest stage of all—the 2021 Champions League final. Sutton himself was there to witness it. "Pep did not get the better of Thomas Tuchel that day," he recalls. "But he's not going to be schooled by Calum McFarlane either."
As always, Sutton is not just predicting the final. He's taking on the entire weekend of Premier League action, pitting his wits against AI, BBC Sport readers, and a rotating cast of guests. This week, he's joined by two Manchester City fans—Tom Ogden and Joe Donovan from the indie band Blossoms—and Chelsea supporter and rapper Songer.
The musical guests are also making headlines off the pitch. Blossoms just dropped their new single, "Joke About Divorce," their first fresh material since their 2024 UK number one album, "Gary." Meanwhile, Songer's latest track, "Find My Face," is out now, and he's announced his sixth studio album, "What If I Say No?," set for release in July.
But the tension isn't just about the game. Some Chelsea fans are planning to protest against their owners, BlueCo, before the final at Wembley. Songer, a lifelong Chelsea supporter, doesn't hold back. "I've been disillusioned with BlueCo from the very start," he says. "It has been like watching a circus, and it's infuriating for the fans to be dragged into it. Our club should not be guinea pigs for their pet project."
Do you agree with Sutton, the bands, or the readers? Make your own predictions and see how you stack up. A correct result earns 10 points, while nailing the exact score bags you 40. It's game on.
