Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane has named the starting line-up for the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

The Blues have been in poor form over several weeks and face a daunting challenge to beat the Cityzens at Wembley Stadium.

Ahead of the game, McFarlane has named a strong starting XI.

Robert Sanchez starts between the sticks for the west London giants.

The manager has gone with a back three of Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Jorrel Hato. Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella are set to occupy the right and left wing-back positions against the Cityzens.

Reece James will feature in the heart of the midfield alongside Moises Caicedo. Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer will feature as the attacking midfielders, with Joao Pedro leading the line on his own.

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Man City: Sanchez; Fofana, Colwill, Hato; Gusto, James, Caicedo, Cucurella; Palmer, Enzo; Pedro.

Chelsea are aiming to win their first domestic trophy since 2018.
