Watch the Crystal Palace vs Man City live stream to see if the Citizens can win the FA Cup for an eighth time or whether the Eagles can get their hands on their first-ever piece of major silverware in their 120 years as a professional club. Below we have all the information on how to watch Crystal Palace vs Man City from anywhere in the world and for FREE, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and live streams on TV screens, laptops, tablets and mobiles.

Twice runners-up in this competition, Crystal Palace have cruised into the final courtesy of wins over Stockport, Doncaster, Millwall, Fulham and an impressive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. Conceding just one goal en route to the showpiece event, the Eagles are not just defensively strong, they also have some exceptional attacking talent. Eberechi Eze, in particular, has been superb in recent weeks and will be hoping to expose a City defence that has struggled at times this season.

Man City have made Wembley their second home under Pep Guardiola and were hugely impressive in their semi-final as they eased past Nottingham Forest. With the FA Cup their only chance of winning silverware this season, they will be keen to replicate the form they showed earlier this season when they secured a thumping 5-2 win over Palace. However, they have been inconsistent this year and arrive in the capital on the back of a drab 0-0 draw with already relegated Southampton.
