Prediction Of FA Cup 2019

FA Cup Prediction 2019

With a rich history stretching back to the 19th century, there have been plenty of moments to remember through the years and all the participating clubs are eager to dabble in the ‘Magic of the Cup’.

Last year’s FA Cup was tightly contested between Chelsea and Manchester United. Chelsea was 1-0 winners, all thanks to an Edan Hazard penalty in the first half of the game.

The match between Manchester United and Liverpool on Sunday will prove to be a classic, sensational, spiteful, meaningful game that everyone present at the moment will remember for years.

Liverpool holds the best chance of winning the league for nearly 30 years, playing their game in hand on Manchester City. Then there’s Manchester United, after recovering their form and pizzazz, on a domestic unbeaten run that stretches back to the middle of December, the last time they faced Liverpool. There has been some surprise winners of The FA Cup recently like the Swansea City (2013) and Birmingham City (2011) lifting the cup to win their first-ever major honor. But since Swansea’s success, the FA Cup has been dominated by the big clubs, with City (three), Chelsea (one) and Manchester United (one) winning it over the past five years.

Pep Guardiola’s team have won 13 out of their all total past 14 games in all competitions, while Chelsea have lost five of their past 11 and Sarri is fighting to save his job. Yet Chelsea did beat City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in December, and they have to show the same performance to win on Sunday.  Chelsea desperately needs to change the mood throughout the club, and a major trophy at Wembley Stadium would be the perfect way to lift the gloom and ease the pressure on Sarri.

During Chelsea’s recent five defeats in 11 games in FA Cup, Chelsa conceded 14 goals and scored none during those losses. When it starts to go wrong for Chelsea, they simply can’t find a way to slam on the brakes.

Sarri’s 4-3-3 game plan has not been fruitful, and the top teams, such as City, United and Arsenal, have ruthlessly exposed Chelsea’s weaknesses recently. But Chelsea still have quality and they have players capable of beating any player on a good day. Goalkeeper Kepa has been implausible recently, while fullbacks Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, previously being so reliable, have looked tired and out of sorts this time. Their lack of pace is also a big problem against City’s flying wingers.

Leroy Sane is one of the few genuine wingers playing the game today, and the Manchester City man offers something different for Guardiola’s team. The German has been compared to young Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale because of his direct style of playing and their goal threat.
