Chelsea vs Manchester City FA Cup Final Odds
Manchester City head into the 2026 FA Cup final as overwhelming favourites against a struggling Chelsea, with bookies offering 1.77 odds for a City win. The best value bet might be backing City to win and both teams to score at 3.40, noting that finals often see goals on both sides. Despite recent form, Chelsea have scored in six of their last eight finals and are likely to find the net. For high risk, a goalless draw pays handsomely at 10.50, but seems improbable given City’s attacking firepower.
- Chelsea meet Manchester City for the first time in the 2026 FA Cup final.
- Chelsea have eight Cup wins to their credit, with City winning the Cup seven times.
- The 145th edition FA Cup Final will be played at Wembley on Saturday, 16 May 2026.

Good odds on a City win
The payout on a City win isn’t bad at 1.77 considering their form, but possibly the best bet to back would be Man City to win and both teams to score (3.40), as teams often score in the final as they throw everything at the opposition.
| Method of Victory | Odds |
|---|---|
| Chelsea (regular time) | 4.20 |
| Man City (regular time) | 1.73 |
| Chelsea (Extra time) | 16.50 |
| Man City (Extra time) | 9.00 |
| Chelsea (Penalties) | 12.00 |
| Man City (Penalties) | 12.00 |
Chelsea worth backing to score
Chelsea have scored in six of their last eight finals and, despite their poor form, I’d back them to score as the City defence has been inconsistent in recent months.
| Both Teams To Score | Odds |
|---|---|
| Regular Time Yes | 1.70 |
| Regular Time No | 2.00 |
| Total Goals | Over | Under |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 1.04 | 10.50 |
| 1.5 | 1.23 | 3.80 |
| 2.5 | 1.71 | 2.00 |
| 3.5 | 2.75 | 1.39 |
| 4.5 | 5.00 | 1.15 |
| 5.5 | 10.00 | 1.05 |
Will Chelsea play for a draw and penalties?
A goalless final pays out at 10.50, and considering City’s attacking strength that seems like the ultimate Hail Mary, but Chelsea might go into the match looking to park the bus and hope for a goal on the counter-attack or to take their chance with penalties. It would be a very long shot, but that payout might be tempting.
| Match Result and Both Teams To Score | Odds |
|---|---|
| Chelsea to win and both teams to score | 7.25 |
| Man City to win and both teams to score | 3.40 |
| Chelsea to win and Man City not to score | 7.25 |
| Man City to win and Chelsea not to score | 3.10 |
| Both teams to score and the match to end in a draw | 4.50 |
| Both teams not to score | 10.50 |
